In my experience, it can be any 4 people, doesn’t matter who. Awful game. There were a few years (2013-2014 or so) where every time a group of adults in their 20s hung out, they had to play Cards Against Humanity
This was gonna be my answer. Its all about shock humor but its just not funny when you’re terminally online. Like, “Biggest Blackest Dick”? I saw and heard all that when I was on 4chan a decade+ ago and its cringe in retrospect too.
That’s the contradiction; you have to be a certain amount of terminally online to get the references in the first place, but if you are too terminally online it’s just cringe.
Tbh the main reason it’s so bad is because everyone picks the most shocking card in their hand, even if it doesn’t make a coherent thought, or match well with what’s being asked.
Like, holy shit, it’s just edgy apples to apples, y’all!
And the worst part is, like most trends, the only people still on it are the latecomers: gen X and boomers.
I was visiting my family recently and my Grandmother and elder Aunt were the most vocal proponents of playing while me, brother, sister-in-law, and cousins were all against it. Love it when someone insists on playing the game and then has to have all of that shit explained to them
