Why do I assume it’s less cringey?
I just think that something probably wouldn’t be written so cringey. I mean, it doesn’t really fit the story during serious scenes. You’d think the author probably wasn’t going for that? Idk. so I figured it’s more like, a word that doesn’t translate well. But I could be wrong. I guess they coulda picked a less cringey English term if that was that case
It’s all just my assumptions and opinions
Calling him babe caught me off guard
