I got Monster of the Week, the genre tv show RPG that Griffin's going to use for his teen monster hunter game in TAZ the fact that a game based around emulating Supernatural, X-Files, and Buffy has a mechanic built in that goes "don't make your game/show run too long or you'll run out of Luck" is pretty great

You know on a relisten I realized that One Week has TWO raps. I'd give Justin and Travis a D for forgetting the first one!

It's connected to empathy, I guess though, since I'm over identifying with the characters.

I have social anxiety and consider myself fairly empathetic as well, but I can take it. Maybe it's about finding more joy in the jokes than pain in the awkwardness. So I guess I heartily disagree that empathetic people can't enjoy awkward moments.

Seriously, gently caress I cannot watch more than a few minutes of Always Sunny not because it's not funny but it's just too much.

Have you only tried watching season 1 or something? After that the characters become more and more like caricatures and basically lack social awareness to be embarassed about anything they do.

I have never heard of Always Sunny being classified as "cringe humor" before. Like, I know what you're referring to, but I've never gotten that feeling from the show because the characters are universally loving awful people. They will always make the worst decisions, and they will always get and deserve the worst possible consequences.

It's not about the characters themselves being embarrassed. Ricky Gervais' character in the Office often doesn't totally get what he's doing wrong. It's just identifying too much with social awkwardness. Always Sunny is almost an exception. I'm mostly fine with it because the characters and situations are often so cartoonish and horrible, I can't overly empathize with it.

I'm able to handle Archer pretty well, so it's surprising to me that I couldn't bring myself to keep watching Sunny.

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, now there is cringe humor.

also you should probably try not to be so empathetic that you can, in any way whatsoever, even mildly identify with those characters because they're all loving ghoulish monsters edit: y'all should try making it through a single episode of Nathan For You, now there's some loving cringe humor. You'll be praying for the sweet release of death by the end if you don't straight up drop dead in the middle of it. Crocoswine fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Sep 13, 2017 |

Yeah, I love some cringe humour, and love Nathan for You, but I don't think I've ever made it through a full episode without having to pause it from cringing too hard.

For me the empathetic part is that I hate shows about terrible people. "You are supposed to laugh when bad things happen to them" is usually the explanation, but really I just have no idea why I am spending time watching people I hate. Seinfeld and It's Always Sunny are the best examples, but things like Arrested Development falls into it too.

I get what you're saying. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is one of my favorite shows, but there are a lot of episodes I can't rewatch because they just make me feel too uncomfortable. There's quite a few other movie and TV shows that I can't enjoy not because they're not good, but because they give me that same uncomfortable feeling. I'm not sure that empathetic is the right word for it though? It's more like second hand anxiety, I guess.

The idea that every person with social anxiety is unable to watch cringe comedy or shows like Always Sunny is ridiculous and borderline offensive in a way.

Not all of them, just some of them. Same thing goes for people without anxiety. Everyone has different things that make them feel uncomfortable.

well why not posted:So are they spinning Monster Factory off into it's own property? It's got it's own FB page now, not Polygon's. IIRC, there's still the Polygon splash at the end. I just think they're branding it this way and putting it up on FB first as a way to expand the audience.

From a couple of the comments floating around sounds like facebook might have thrown some $$$ polygon's way to get some "short" video content up on their player to promote it.

So the FB TAZ mods had to make a post that amounted to, "If you're going to make art about the highschool live show, please know that the characters would be minors so... don't be a creep." OF COURSE there are comments defending pedo poo poo because... ugh. Fandoms are trash.

The best TAZ Neverwinter High cosplay/fanart would be relatively normal looking (if sulky) teens wearing cartoonishly exaggerated looks-like-the-costume-is-devouring-the-wearer versions of their future selves.

I don't think people were posting creepy art, it looks like people were responding to fanart with creepy comments. Which is still bad, of course. I've honestly not seen much risque TAZ fanart of any kind.

From what I know of the TAZ fandom, porn isn't that big, and what little is there is primarily focused on Taako. I wouldn't really worry about it.
