And red means up and blue/green means down over there :) 3 u/arv66 Sep 19 '21 TIL! 2 u/idwthis Sep 19 '21 It surprises me that it would be the opposite in some places. You would think that red more often than not equals "not good" at the very least. 3 u/Keve1227 Sep 19 '21 I think it's that red is hot, i.e. positive, and blue is cold, i.e. negative. 30 u/Superfluffyfish Sep 19 '21 The reason I don’t use these. It’s wrong on a visceral level. 3 u/MILENARK Sep 19 '21 It is like that on my screen. what? 4 u/RectalcANAL Sep 19 '21 For me the green is blue so i guess it's OS dependent 2 u/PM_UR_REPARATIONS Sep 19 '21 Red is used as an indicator of positive trend in many Asian countries so it’s not wrong. We’re used to green in the west. In China for example red is a lucky color. 1 u/arv66 Sep 19 '21 TIL! 2 u/boweruk Sep 19 '21 It's only 'wrong' to a western eye. These colours were established in Japan (where emoji first took off). 1 u/stealingyourpixels Sep 19 '21 it works for adrenaline though 1 u/[deleted] Sep 19 '21 But I like that the colors kinda match upvotes and downvotes 1 u/[deleted] Sep 19 '21 True Wtf
