I posted a while ago showing the same shirt. I got called cringe. Whatever, my trans kid likes it. Yours is dope.
Us old folks can't do anything about being cringe most of the time, but we can be supportive and protective of our kids. I think you'd agree that that's the bigger win here, so good job fellow parent.
Having principles you stuck to that are helpful to the world is never cringe, it's a display of feeling of inferiority when someone critiques you for having a virtue. They feel that their comfortable bed of lies is threatened when someone shows that it's not societaly acceptable to be a dick, while they lived their lives accepting that they may sometimes be allowed certain priviledges if they conform to the "norm". I hope one day we get the world to the place where virtues are rightly celebrated instead of being called cringe.
I'm sorry but you can't be both cringe and named NielsBohron :p
More seriously you (and your OP) sound like the kind of parent a lot of us wished we had c:
We may be cringe, but that makes us free.
It is cringe because we are old and they are young but it's wholesome! I love it!
