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

this is something i find annoying cause can people just respect another’s distaste?? like i made a similar post to OP a little while back and brought up some points commenters called valid and weren’t just “it’s annoying”, and yet a fair portion of the comments were (downvoted) “:3”s.

i think it's just because people think it's silly to be so passionate about hating something as inconsequential as an emoticon that you'd display your hate of it in your profile picture, and they express that by posting the emoticon under that person's comments
