Example post. This image is good because it is sad, but also makes you cringe.
Posts must be sad and cringe. The content of the post must be both cringy and sad. Unhappy, depressing sad – not pathetic loser sad. We're not here to make fun of people. The content should make you go: "oof, that hurts", not: "lol, what a moron".

Some weirdo a friend went to uni with posted this insane monologue earlier. He even tagged the former friend in it because the narcissism is off the charts.
I’m a student making under 35k a year living in a big and expensive city. Yesterday I ordered dinner on UberEATs and watched the driver pick up my order and go home. I called the driver who was supposed to be young girl but a middle age guy answered. Clearly fake profile with under 20 deliveries and he said he never picked up my food. Uber didn’t accept to send someone else to pick up the food and didn’t even cancel the order until 4 hours later. I posted this with proof on UberEATs sub, and they deleted my post and permanently banned me from the sub for “doxing”. What has happened to our society that we are on the side of the thieves and big corporations now?
But basically every post from r/Affairs is extreme sadcringe. Tons of men pouting about "dead bedrooms" and how they "just want to smile again." Like, have you tried talking to your wife? Or... getting a divorce and going outside rather than creating a secret echo chamber that keeps you in this noncommittal cycle of smalldickedness?
I get being passionate about social causes, but this person will use ANY soapbox they can to promote their cause of the week. Someone has a baby? There are babies in Gaza that are STARVING right now. Someone buys a car? You're KILLING the planet. Got married? Way to force your traditional norms on everyone else. This was their take on Spotify Wrapped.
In person, this individual is perfectly pleasant but online, they act like a rage-bait caricature of a social justice warrior from 2014, except they're completely serious.
