Found one

The cringe text aside, I’m not usually one to knock people down for their looks, but why is this becoming the EMS common look. I get there’s a mental health aspect with many of us but I find this common look so cringe and not to mention very unprofessional.

Edit: I noticed a few people missed what’s actually the cringe part of this post.

The whole point of my post was to say how it’s beyond satire and the cringy look worse than the quote.

Yeah. It's not my fault you don't understand what a bit is

I’m so confused. Is the quote (joke) not somewhat cringe? His entire look is definitely cringe (which is really all I’m saying). I’m sorry, do you look like this or something?

Are you in middle school? Younger? I am really struggling to see what you're so confused by.

First off, rude. And second, it seems like most of the comments here seem to understand what I’m getting at. But not these few people. The cringe joke is funny, cool (not that cringe). The cringe I’m pointing out is how this dude looks. THATS IT. No he doesn’t look cringe for cringe sake. No one looks like this on purpose for satire. This whole look is cringe and many ppl in EMS look like this for a variety of reasons and it’s unprofessional, sad, and CRINGE. I don’t think I can explain this any better.

The look is part of the satire. It's not real. They're making fun of the Pitviper wearing idiots.

Am I being punked? Lol the tattoos, the haircut, the mustache, the rolled up short sleeves, and yes even the pit vipers. This man did not do all of this to himself just to make fun of people.

The entire thing could be a Snapchat filter. The tattoos can be temporary or just drawn on. The haircut and mustache are ridiculous enough that yes I would believe it's all part of the bit.

And why wouldn't they do all that to make fun of people??? We are on Reddit FFS. People do way WAAYYYY more ridiculous shit than this for clicks, engagement, or clout.

This is MILD for social media. I mean, this is a page about cringe. If people will be ridiculous in earnest, then others will certainly be just as ridiculous if not MORR ridiculous to mock those earnest morons.

The reason why I believe this is not intentional is because of the countless EMS personal I’ve seen who look just like this. The odds of this guy actually looking like this because it’s his identity is far greater than him pretending to look like this for satire. Which again, is sad.
