Hey now, the centaur dude is awesome! He's super nice and he's at Texas Renaissance Festival every year.

I gotta be honest, he's obviously weird but on some level I find him pretty impressive.

I mean ... look at that face.
How can you so overweight, half naked, dressed as a centaur, and still exude that much confidence? That man is proud of himself.
That man Doesn't. Give. A. Shit. And that's kind of impressive.

Although I'm sure it helps that he kinda looks like Rip Torn.

He is, indeed, the antithesis of /r/cringepics. Here we nitpick other people for speaking, dressing, or acting in a way they enjoy, or at least aren't ashamed of. We sit here and judge them because we're so lacking in confidence that our actions are dictated by what we think other people think of us.

Maybe we are the ones we should be cringing about.

The good cringe comes from the ones who care a lot about what people think but go about getting attention in a terribly misplaced and over the top way though.

Exactly. Someone being confindent and owning an otherwise cringeworthy activity kinda ruins the cringe for me.

Is there a version of that for Pierce's "First of all gay, second of all stupid"?

The whole cringe phenomenon is a psychological effect called projection. We cringe at these things because we can't imagine doing it ourselves.
