  • Wildly tapping our thumbs on a piece of glass is not how humans express emotion. Since it’s literally impossible to truly convey emotions in characters anyhow, I’m just advocating for attempting to be expressive in a way that more people can understand. Vs confusing your audience because you didn’t consider them and then judging them for it.





  • It’s interesting to me that people put so much effort into creating rules around what subtle punctuation differences mean when there’s a billion reasons not to assume we know what any of it means. Typos, being in a hurry, being a different person with different opinions… Basically texting is like 50% at best for communicating emotions even if we don’t make these random assumptions.

    In any case, it was meant to look like they didn’t care if some random strangers saw their junk. I actually don’t see the humor there. Bizarre isn’t always bad, but here I think it is bizarre in a bad way. Not really the biggest deal though, just a desperate and gross Internet post imo
