This right here.

"Real" awkwardness is usually coming at someone's expense. I don't enjoy that. The same way true sadness is usually at someone's expense.

But if it's part of a story, fine. I'll watch a sad movie or a show that has awkward moments. Those very real feelings explored in a fun way that hurts no one can be a good time. Just like no one really enjoys being genuinely scared, but a scary movie can trigger that emotion in a safe and fun way.
