They lack knowledge of internet norms and are portrayed in unflattering ways. The top comments are typically predictable in their cruelty. Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the worst examples of cringey TikToks. What should you do if you see one?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Memes\"><\/span>Memes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Those who post videos on TikTok often get labeled as cringeworthy. This is often because commenters make obscene, hurtful jokes in the hopes of rising to the top. This fear of cringe has given rise to a whole new world of memes. These cringe videos have become viral, with millions of views. If you have a TikTok account, you may have seen the hilarious memes.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the most popular cringey TikTok videos are created by a person with little or no social or internet skills. These people often have undesirable qualities or do not know the rules of the internet. These people make videos that make people cringe purely because of the way they look, act, or voice. The results are often predictable and harrowing. Despite the fact that cringe videos are often created by individuals without any real skill or talent, they have made a significant impact on the internet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contortionists\"><\/span>Contortionists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Among the many talented contortionists on TikTok is Luna Mcnulty. This Californian bisexual has a large fan base on OnlyFans. She also has an account on 18+ Reddit, but does not appear to be very active on Twitter. Here are some other notable Contortionists on TikTok:<\/p>\n<p>Luna Dawson has millions of fans on TikTok, and her pseudonym says it all. She has epilepsy and neurological dysfunction, but despite her disabilities, she&#8217;s still one of the most popular contortionists on the platform. Read on to learn more about Luna and other famous Contortionists on TikTok. We&#8217;ve also gathered the most popular Contortionists on TikTok in this article.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Furries\"><\/span>Furries<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A recent viral video has many people cringing over furry creatures. The video, called &#8220;Furries cause TikTok cringe,&#8221; shows an animal acting like its owner. Although furry people are not explicitly sexual in nature, a number of fetish tropes have pigeonholed the community as a sexual subculture. One TikTok account, Libs of TikTok, has nearly one million followers and boasts of having the influence of a Republican administration in Florida. The account re-posts videos that target LGBTQ users and have caused TikTok cringe.<\/p>\n<p>Although stereotypes of furries show that they are socially awkward, most people who are involved in this community seek a sense of community through their shared interest. Many furries anthropomorphize their favorite cartoon characters. Some watch these cartoons regularly, while others communicate with other fanatics online. Some even use TikTok to make their lives easier. However, the cringe-worthy videos of furries have also caused some viewers to lose their minds and even their self-esteem.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cosplayers\"><\/span>Cosplayers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A new trend on TikTok has made cosplayers and other fans of nerdy videos cringe. The trend is called cosplay, which involves participants dressing up as certain characters. There are hundreds of videos featuring cosplayers, including those made by Hunter (@fitkage), Misty Raines (@mistyraines), VANNY\/AIKA(@vannyzcosplay), and Nico(@groofo). Some cosplay fans are also getting a kick out of the gimmicks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"People_with_mental_illness\"><\/span>People with mental illness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The stigma of mental illness is still strong, and many people are quick to judge and label videos created by people with disabilities as cringe-worthy. One community dedicated to exposing online posers has risen to prominence, with its content overwhelmingly made up of videos of people with mental illnesses. Its members aren&#8217;t necessarily aware that the content is aimed at them, but they often make hurtful jokes as a way of gaining fame.<\/p>\n<p>The TikTok community is comprised primarily of teenagers and young women who make video compilations of themselves cringing or otherwise embarrassed. While the content may be harmless, the videos are sometimes inflammatory and sexist, and can make those with mental illness cringe. However, many teens are vulnerable to self-diagnosis, and even begin to show symptoms of their disorders only after becoming aware of them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Videos_of_people_with_disabilities\"><\/span>Videos of people with disabilities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>People with disabilities have become a popular subject of TikTok cringe videos, which are posted by fans and other users. Many people don&#8217;t realize the creator is a person with a disability, and they are quick to post hurtful comments to increase their popularity. Some of these videos have even gone viral, with creators such as @superchloeone becoming household names in a matter of months.<\/p>\n<p>In one such video, the Whitaker family from Jacksonville, Florida, posted a video where the mom of an eight-member family tosses their 14-year-old daughter, Abbie. The 14-year-old suffers from a disorder called 1p36 deletion syndrome. The Whitaker family includes husband Lee and eight children, including Abbie. The mother, Kayle, was sitting two feet away when the video was posted.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"269\" width=\"481\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xCDhe769yIw\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is TikTok Cringe?
