I saw people complaining that other people took offensive from it. But have not sound many people saying that dislike it.

In Iran it implies "Sit on this" but that is the only context I am aware of where it is vulgar.

Given that several serial killers have used a smiley face in their tauntings, I wouldn't be surprised.

No one gets offended until a sign is used to convey an offensive meaning.

Meaning isn't 'fixed'. It's dependent on intention and context.

Lots of younger people view it as passive aggressive. So just a slight shift in culture
I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

I mean, internet people will keep treating a thing as offensive regardless of context, once they find any reason.

Yeah, it's this. Also like when people used to respond "Cool story bro."

If you respond to a long message or post with that, and only that , it can sound like you're being dismissive / passive aggressive. But just using the emoji isn't automatically offensive.
