    This was gonna be my answer. Its all about shock humor but its just not funny when you’re terminally online. Like, “Biggest Blackest Dick”? I saw and heard all that when I was on 4chan a decade+ ago and its cringe in retrospect too.

      That’s the contradiction; you have to be a certain amount of terminally online to get the references in the first place, but if you are too terminally online it’s just cringe.
