the deterioration of a wholesome emoticon

[Jelly]

and why you should care.

why the fuck do people see as a negative or shifty emoticon? i should NOT be forced to add a nose for him. he is wholesome, trustworthy, and good.

save him.

[Arkhi]

and :^) are both shifty. One's just a little more complete than the other.

But on that note, here's why you don't leave a nose.

[Odybld]

Although it looks really ass on Viber. Makes me feel really like a little idiot when it's used at me

Oh and there's always the old-old-oldoldoldfashioned :-)

I think it stems from the fact that nobody uses it unless they're trying to be a dick for the most part.

western-style noses are evil and must be destroyed.

i never trusted people who used ":)" >>"

just look at it, it looks shady and murderous af

":)"

it can rot in emoticon hell for all i care.

":)" looking so evil is the whole point i decided to adopt "=)" instead tbh.

smh

:] is the true smile

[Sheep]

:] is reserved for when you troll people. : ) is what I use when I'm being legit nice but without the space because I'm a fool and can't figure out how to unemoticon it.

[Tartar]

It's probably mostly due to the fact that it's (presumably?) an older emoticon that has gone out of fashion due to newer emoticons like =) and replacing it.

[Skeleton]

is sarcasm, :^) is fun, :-) is genuine, ) is fucking cursed and should never be used, :3 is blessed but avoid using it too much unless you want to embarrass your parents

but you know what the real problem is?

>:^3c

[NickCrash]

The real problem is that you treat this as a normal debate.

[Ice Cream Sand Witch]

I had no idea was seen negatively. I've only seen it used for happy things.

[Hycrox]

- ambiguous meaning

:] - trolling

:} - scawwy

:^) - trolling/suggestive

:3 - cute

:-) - slashed in the face

(ºuº) - evil
