I started using them ironically about a year or two ago, and noticed that as the layers of irony piled up a genuine one would slip through. What bothers me about them and I'm sure it's like that for many others, is the over exaggeration. They feel disingenuous which throws me off balance, fucks with the tone and make me cringe, but I might just be sensitive like that.
I only ever use one emoji genuinely: 🙂
It's simple, non obstructive and plain 🙂
I can't ever imagine being genuinely upset and using 😭 or 😢 or any of their variations. Same goes for 😠. But some people must actually use them for that, no? Maybe people who can't express themselves correctly. Just looks fucking gay to me lmfao 😂
