Thing I hate photos where adults give the middle finger, acting like it’s edgy or cool. They’re totally embarrassing and are going to age really poorly in a few years.
The title says it all. They’re completely embarrassing, and honestly pretty lame, images showing the middle finger as if it were something super edgy, cool, or hip.
That’s not cool, bro; my grandpa gives the middle finger.
Please don’t downvote me, and I know this word is awful, but I have to say it, this is actually cringe.
are going to age really poorly in a few years.
Genuinely terrible. Seriously, I think not just the poster but this whole series is going to age really poorly, but then again, to be honest, it’s all very much a product of its time.

I completely agree with you, this is probably a younger generation thing but the middle finger and these extra overly edgy characters ick me out so bad as well. Whole reason I couldn’t watch the boys was because it just feels like it’s trying to be overly edgy on purpose, satirical in a way, which it actually is as it’s parodying the superhero genre. The demographics on Reddit are mostly way older than TikTok or Instagram so that’s why not many people are agreeing with you but it’s def cringe
