Cringe

Cringe is to recoil in distaste, often at something considered awkward and uncomfortable. All fan works can be considered inherently cringe by some definitions, although other definitions may narrow and suggest only certain kinds of fan works are cringe - such as those based on certain properties, or those that do not follow a certain tone. To say that something is cringe is to express severe distaste towards it.
