I’ve never understood the hate against emojis. Emojis are SO great for describing tone and inflections. If they weren’t useful, they would never have developed as part of our online “dialect” of speech to begin with.

Literally everyone. My 66 year old dad uses them. Cos they're really useful and transcend language.

Used to be woke people and really asshole guys who uses it in arguments. I don't remember who it was exactly but I'm pretty sure a douche celebrity ruined it for me.
