emoji hate is the new anti-txt spk

When I started using the internet, normal ppl wud tlk lik dis but nerds on websites would type as if they were being graded by their English teacher. I remember this one forum I was on people refused even to say lol and would type out stuff like 'that's funny, laugh out loud'.

But when everyone got a smartphone they'd all use the word predict thing and then txt spk was no more. But dweebs on the internet needed their feeling of linguistic superiority from somewhere and so it all got transferred to being anti-emoji instead.

Using emojis on reddit for example really triggers them and imo is a much underutilised form of trolling. So next time you're typing out a post on reddit plz don't forget the emojis 😁😁😂😝

I trolled /r/Christianity a year or so ago and got some primo lolz from using emojis

These emojis are a 🚩

Yeah, excessive use of emojis always causes alarms for me

Why do you think emojis would be a good thing? Would you ever put that in anything important that you were writing? A resume? An obituary? A legal document?

NOOOO reddit is srs business

Emojis generally aren't welcome on Reddit

That sentence is two words too long.

For me its indicative of lazy writing. The person often can't be bothered with capitalization, punctuation, they often don't know subtle differences of words, they don't know how to write for brevity or emotional impact. Just “word bites”. But the most important one is that lazy writing often comes with lazy thinking. Use of emojis isn't a guarantee of any of these issues, I've just noticed a correlation.

anyways use them as much as possible

I actually genuinely like some emojis. On Apple in particular there are some really pretty ones, like the desert one
