Mantra of the web revival; Cringe Culture is Dead, Everything is Cool Now!
Screw Cringe Culture. If fetish porn and repetitive unfunny memes are considered acceptable, why can't fun video edit music videos be? There's nothing I consider more "cringeworthy" than the cringers themselves. I will say, I haven't exactly seen anyone call them "cringe". The percentage of full AMVs compared to short edits has just dropped, and to me it seems like it's harder to find full AMVs to some titles than it used to be, while the shorts are galore. That being said, they are still out there and I treasure every good one.
I've seen it treated along the lines of cringe, mainly like in YouTube comments and stuff like that. It seems like anything that's no longer hip is automatically cringe, at least to some people. I do wonder why it's dropped though, I'm guessing it's along the lines of copyright striking and YouTube becoming a shittier platform as the years progressed, losing a lot of the community aspect it once had. or maybe kids these days are just interested in other things for some reason. I wouldn't know.

I agree with the overall sentiment, but why throw kink in the pile of things to attack? If it's consensual, there's no reason to shame people for being happy with their partners. I think that's rather problematic. Aaanyway, I think this thread derailed pretty hard. At least I can say now that I know what AMV stands for! I never knew.

What bothers me more is people like to show it out in the open and don't care how it can be uncomfortable/disturbing to others. If you dare to express any discomfort or disgust then you're automatically attacked and accused of "kinkshaming".

I mean, I don't see a difference there to generic "the gays should keep their disgusting actions in private" homophobia. I feel pretty uncomfortable with that idea here in the forums. Of course people shouldn't go right out in public and perform explicit acts where people can openly see it unless it's an event in a location specifically for that (e.g. Folsom Street Fair), but that's very very rarely what people do and it's also frowned upon in the kink community itself. I just get the feeling you don't mean just that, but also people wearing collars, mentioning kink or D/s dynamics in general social media, or making it a part of their public identity. Kink is a personal thing and closely connected to one's identity and relationships. It's not exclusively sexual, it doesn't have to be sexual at all actually, it's a deep emotional bond shared between people and it's no different from any other kind of love. Treating it like some sick perversion that should be kept at home is really offensive actually.

One of my favorite is AMVs is this DBZ x Mortal Kombat Theme song. Used to watch it on repeat. Good memories!
I love this! Some of my first websites were Mortal Kombat and DBZ fan pages on Angelfire.

Hey you guys, let's not derail the thread now, shall we? I sense the start of a heated discussion. Better if you take it to PM if so you wish
Okay then. @/home/user/ if you want to continue this feel free to email or PM me. Please keep in mind that I'm not trying to attack anyone but I'm just stating my opinions that you don't have to agree with.

I'm a huge fan of DBZ! I can't even describe how much this masterpiece means to me. Nothing else on this earth is as cool as Dragon Ball!
It's a testament to the human ambition and our need to break free from our limits. We may be just small and fragile human beings, but our inner world is greater than the universe
I had an unhealthy obsession worth DBZ all throughout school. I got in trouble for drawing Piccolo on my desk in grade 8 I was a Toonami kid, so I still have a soft spot for anything they played. I feel like I better contribute an actual AMV, so have this too-perfect Gundam Wing/Danger Zone mashup.
