Be as "cringe" as you want; if people don't like it, they don't have to interact with you. Guest accounts, online aliases, etc., are all ways you can be active in fandom without it linking back to your irl self if that's what you're worried about. So write that fic, draw that self-ship art, and support creators who like the same things as you. It's better to be perceived as cringe by some asshole whose opinion doesn't matter than to hold back from the things that bring you joy. As long as you're not hurting anyone, you're free to go wild with things.
