Yes. Nice catch. And very fast. Well done.

 

That certainly was pretty embarrassing. I thought I'd gotten away with it, too.

 

Is it infuriating?  When you see it your brain in that instant tells your body feel this way, it happens so fast you don't notice it until you're midway through typing a post about it.

This post is a prime example of why you get a lot of confused or sad emi's...

Are some members here so fragile they can't handle some little emoji on their posts? 55555, time to grow up Sally.

Is it infuriating?

Yes, no more emojis depicting sad.

Please respond with one of the following:

 

Your post makes me Sad.

You make me Sad.

Everything you do on here makes me Sad.

Your post made my boner Sad now it's gone. (For those that watch porn while simultaneously participating in the social commentary here.)

Right so adults use emojis because they cannot talk like adults. That makes as much sense as the 70yo guy who writes like a 4yo.....

I often use the confused one because so many posts are written so poorly that I have no clue what the poster is talking about.

 

And the sad one: Is it designed to be used as a comment as in, "That's a sad story," or "You are a sad bar steward"? Or something else?

No, they are sometimes used by others to assume superiority or to berate a perfectly good post because they are too ignorant to understand or can't be bothered to research.

 

If I think a post is stupid I simply ignore it. Oops

 

You lot think to mut. 

Got a few sad ones today.

Big deal.

When strangers die I dont use emojis. Emojis are kind of silly. Using a sad emoji over a stranger's death is pretty much fake anyway. You dont much care.

You may not care but I do care.

Do not use your low standards on others.

Clear and concise is really a bare minimum standard that people should aim for in their communications. I really don't think it's bragging to say I take care with my words. Although it doesn't surprise me that some people would decide to read it that way ????????‍♂️.

 

As for using logic and not allowing emotions to get in the way, that's just how I roll. If people see that as bragging then I guess it's a good thing, right? It would mean that other people were striving to do the same. And I personally believe the world would be a better place if more people were to do so.

 

(edit... I ironically mis-spelt the first word of the post!)

Please take into account that not everyone here is a native speaker of

So you expressed sadness for 50m that died last year. What a liar.

Oh dear. You are struggling now. Personal insults?

I never saw the post on AN where 50 million died.

Unlike some, I do not lie.

Right so only deaths posted on here matter? Weird logic. You wouldn't even know the names of these dead people you pretend to care about. How fake.

Sure when it's difficult to interpret the intended message the 'confused' response is valid. But ONLY in that circumstance.

"Should sad emojis be banned?"

 

Why do you care?  There are no points, awards or ranking for posts or gathered emojis on this forum.  That you are so thin-skinned that an emoji from an Asean Now poster, for God's sake, hurts you is sad but you actually start a thread about it and want a specific emoji ban?  Why not ask for a ban on "LIke", "Love It", "Haha", "Thumbs Up" and "Thanks", also, or do they stroke your ego too much to lose (if you get any)?   And I say all that as a collector of a serious number of the (inconsequential) emojis referenced.

quite the contrary,

I think we should add more emojis. 

Like anger, kissing, hugging, slapping etc.

 

they are fun.

don tink too mutt.

Sure. I understand that. But, to be honest, I often find non-native speakers are actually able to express themselves more clearly than some of the emotionally-infused rants of some of the native speakers.

 

Maybe this is because they have studied and have technical understanding of the language functions that they are using, or maybe the overhead of thinking in a second language causes more care to be taken.

 

On the other hand, its not really appropriate for somebody to be using the confused emoji because they don't understand the content of the post on a linguistic level. Each to ther own, though :)
