StealThisSheen 04/05/24 8:49:59 PM #10:	People use gifs and meme images to portray that, now, on most platforms. You don't have to type shakes head on Teams or Slack anymore, for instance. You can just post some gif of somebody shaking their head in an exaggerated manner, and it takes less effort while also getting the point across more vibrantly. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

I stopped trying to use it after that lol. fortunately for you I think the general interpretation of an italics-only message like that wouold be to read it as the person themselves doing an action. so it would have more or less the same meaning. you can also do \backs away slowly\ if you don't want it to convert --- THIS IS WHAT I HATE A BOUT EVREY WEBSITE!!
