SodomInsane 10/12/22 8:38:20 PM #1:	https://nypost.com/2022/10/12/gen-z-has-canceled-the-thumbs-up-emoji-because-its-hostile/ Gen Zers are calling out the popular thumbs-up emoji for being rude and hostile, even saying they feel attacked whenever they see it used in the workplace. After a Reddit poster confessed to being not adult enough to be comfortable with the thumbs-up emoji reaction, others chimed in to agree and to call out other common emojis such as the red heart. For younger people, the thumbs-up emoji is used to be really passive-aggressive, a 24-year-old Redditor wrote. Its super rude if someone just sends you a thumbs up, they added. So I also had a weird time adjusting because my workplace is the same. Older workers appeared flummoxed by the reaction, noting they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to signal I approve or I understood and will obey. Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs up in jest. I only use it sarcastically, though sometimes Im not even sure if the irony comes across, Barry Kennedy, 24, told The Post. He said he only used it to communicate with boomers like his parents or older colleagues. One anonymous office worker chalked it up to a generational communication culture difference. Everyone my age in the office doesnt do it, but the gen X people always do it, they wrote. Took me a bit to adjust and get out of my head that it means theyre mad at me. Others complained that it comes across as dismissive. One Reddit user noted that the thumbs up actually means that Ive read your message and have nothing [to] add and I hope and pray all the bazillion people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too. The official list of canceled emoji includes: Thumbs-up Red heart OK hand Checkmark Poo Loud crying face Monkey covering eyes Clapping hands Lipstick kiss mark Grimacing face --- http://i.imgur.com/GZUKvFD.gif <cite>SodomInsane posted [p:968675368] in Gen Z canc...

Doe 10/12/22 8:52:27 PM #24:	This board needs to get ahold of itself and attain a better literacy rate of fake news about young people. This is an unsourced article by the New York Post, a well-known right-wing tabloid. Literally the only reference to an "official" "list" of "canceled" emojis is a poll where respondents rated the age they guessed of a person when the only information they knew was the emoji they used. They then cobbled together the idea that these are "hostile" by citing A Fucking Reddit Thread about some guy not liking to use the thumbs-up. You are all literally engaging in the same lazy self-indulgence boomers did when they read and shared "articles" about Millennials' laziness, avocado toast love, wokeness, etc. --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY <cite>Doe posted [p:968675688] in Gen Z canc...
