What's up with all the hate for emojis lmao
People who use them tend to spam the hell out of them. Like, 8 of the same emoji. And they use them every other sentence. It's obnoxious, you only need one or two to get the point across.

the emojis and text above are a part of the reason
Whats the boat rowing used for typically ?
Traversing water using manual propulsion
Don't act like you don't already know, pervert.
π I hate it when people do that because the emoji don't mean anything. Like I can use a single emoji to actually relay some information but just putting a bunch of them doesn't do anything.
well that just sounds like you don't like immature content/people
Back in my day we only had 95 printable characters, and that's the way we liked it! /s
Antisocial people.
It was the same on Reddit. All of the people who despised emojis were often posting in really cringe and incel related subs.
My use of emojis sky rocketed after I started dating. They are fun and convey emotion really well.
I'm convinced emojis are what has been missing from language for a long time. They are great way to portray emotions through texts, which otherwise could not be achieved.
This way there is a difference between:
"You are so amazing ππ"
and
"You are so amazing π "
Greatest put down ever.
If I'm going to be relaying through to people strictly over text as much as I do these days, I better have a way to articulate it with the right emotional range to match my sparkling personality β¨

They didn't exist yet when I was an early teenager, all we had were emoticons that might be replaced by images by the forum software, so of course I think they're stupid /s
Without sarcasm, it is a good thing we have standardized symbols now and don't have to implement emoticon replacement into forum or chat or social media software. If only because half of such implementations replaced any occurrence of the number 8 followed by a closing parenthesis with π even when that wasn't the intended meaning (one can think of many other times one would end a parenthetical statement with the number 8).
