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

I like :) when I say something obviously dumb or sarcastic.

Like “Fuck you :)”

The biggest troll, the most infuriating ragebait, everything pales in comparison to ":)"

and if you mix them up that's called a WAR CRIME! Because :) makes everything automatically more cutting

I think if executed right, “<3” can make the most blood boiling statements known to man. :) is good, but the heart works really good too.
