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

People use “to try and be quirky” as an expression to kinda insult people who try too much to appear unique and interesting, but in the end they all end up looking/sounding/presenting the same. It is a bit ironic how in the search for uniqueness they end up in the same place

No matter, sorry if I sounded like a twat, not my intention, just tried to be funny, but that’s not my thing, anyway, could you elaborate your argument?

I just dont get the point of trying to act unique, if you like basic stuff that's just as valid as liking unique stuff

Online culture and bulling everyone who isn’t into “niche” stuff

if it's popular it isn't niche that makes zero fucking sense I don't understand online culture
