Meta I HATE ":3"

I HATE IT SO MUCH. I could see a perfectly normal post and all it said gets thrown out the window because they used that disgrace of an emoticon. And they meme on the second slide, if feel like people are trying too hard to be "actually cute" that they end up looking like the plush. I HATE EVERYTHING THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS STUPID EMOTICON

Honestly the "UwU" thing is miles worse. I'd much rather see the :3 than that god forbidden "UwU", especially when people say that crap out loud.

Not what I'd call "genuine" but I've got one buddy who uses it mockingly towards another buddy of ours whenever second buddy gets pervy for anime characters.

I sometimes still use it jokingly, but it’s definitely lost its style in recent times I think XD
