Basically it’s a counterculture of “cringe” that people defend. For example think of sonic the hedgehog fans, FNAF fans, etc. It’s kinda cringe, but they’re having fun and enjoying themselves. Furries are BIG into cringe culture, and it’s kinda also part of the queer experience to be seen as cringe by the mainstream.
though there kinda has been a difference where the people in cringe culture find some things cringy and want to push away, like garden of banban because it’s generally a slop game. A lot of cringe culture is rooted in the 2000s/2010s and is having a hard time accepting modern cringe things. Here is an example of scene core that the meme referenced:
Here is a pretty good example of what a modern day “furry scenecore sparkle dog” kind of art that the meme referenced. It’s an AMV made by 2 trans girls who are (kinda?) furries. Genuinely such a good song btw https://youtu.be/vJTb2bQc_Qw
TLDR: The meme is pointing out the hypocrisy of cringe culture accepting a lot of cringe things, but also disliking other cringe things.
If you want a serious answer: garten of banban is a videogame that broadly follows five nights at Freddie’s style of evil corrupted fluffy things, and Markiplier etc. have played it (I think?).
Scenecore sparkledog furry art as a phrase is aggressively queer to the point of being a funny caricature.
The final piece of the puzzle is the rallying cry ‘cringe culture is dead’. It’s popular on places like tumblr etc. and is used to push back on the social pressure of cringe culture, that often affects people who are queer or nerds or furries etc.
So we have the joke: ‘tumblr-y people pushing back against cringe culture when they have to defend people who enjoy a piece of media that is (not AI) slop pushed out to jump on the FNAF trend.’
To clarify: I am in favour of letting people enjoy things.
The fuck does that even mean?
I forgor people aren’t terminally online 😭

Thanks for the explainer! I am also in favor of letting people enjoy things. I know that to most, I’m weird. Glass houses and all.
Me when both FNAF and furry art are some freaky kids’ stuff:
I’m not online enough to know either
Probably a sex thing.
Haha…no, not really.
