It's obvious that you're not Japanese, because It also means "sorry" or "please" = begging. Just like everywhere else.

Sorry and please mean begging?
What a weird take
Well, every one available could have multiple meanings
But it is a Universally accepted way of saying Thank You

It's an observable, technical fact. Around the globe. When raccoons do it.
Seems cynical staniel
Please = good manners
Sorry = an apology
Sorry = an apology

But it is a Universally accepted way of saying Thank You

You got your reaction emoji. I'm just saying that gratitude is only one of many meanings that hand arrangement has. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m glad all the emoji reactions just have one meaning.
How embarrassing if someone misunderstood

What about "please please please please please please!"?

A lot of the “Justin Timberlake is cringe” discourse is really about how public perception shifted over time — especially online. People usually mean a mix of these things:
### 1. His early-2000s image aged awkwardly
Justin Timberlake was once seen as effortlessly cool: boy-band star → solo artist → actor → comedy guy. But some of the fashion, slang, and “trying to be smooth” persona from that era now reads overly polished or try-hard to younger audiences.
### 2. Backlash from how women around him were treated
Public opinion changed a lot after documentaries and retrospectives revisited:
* the breakup narrative around Britney Spears
* the 2004 Super Bowl incident with Janet Jackson
Many people felt Timberlake benefited professionally while the women involved absorbed most of the backlash. That reframed his “golden boy” image for a lot of viewers.
### 3. “Corny cool-guy energy”
Internet culture is ruthless toward celebrities who seem very eager to be perceived as cool. Timberlake’s:
* exaggerated dance moves
* motivational-man-of-the-people speeches
* beatboxing/interview moments
* heavily rehearsed charisma
…often get clipped into memes that make him look unintentionally awkward.
### 4. Social media changed celebrity standards
In the 2000s, highly managed celebrity personas worked well. In the TikTok era, audiences reward people who seem more self-aware, ironic, or authentic. Timberlake’s polished entertainer style can feel “manufactured” compared to today’s vibe.
### 5. The DUI arrest amplified existing sentiment
His 2024 arrest became meme fuel online because people were already primed to joke about him. A celebrity with strong current goodwill might get sympathy; someone already seen as out of touch often becomes a punchline instead.
That said, plenty of people still genuinely like his music and performances. Albums like FutureSex/LoveSounds and songs like Cry Me a River are still widely respected. The “cringe” label is mostly about changing internet culture and reputation cycles, not a universal consensus that he lacks talent.
