Emojis piss me off

So there I am, grabbing the news feeds from wherever it is that I get them, and then I see it. In the title of one of the feed articles, I see I goddamn balloon. A colorful balloon is NOT a letter! Or a number! Or a textual symbol! How these things caught on it beyond me, but I think they're fucking dumb.

How do you even type emojis, without using some sort of special character submenu? I see this in the shoutbox sometimes, too. Actual images, which surely aren't text.

I think this is one of the contributing factors to the destruction of the English language. Instead of typing out words and sentences, people are all about emojis and hashtags. Tweet-sized micro thoughts that generally don't convey valid thoughts, but rather how lazy people are.


Plus, that Emoji Movie was regarded as one of the worst movies of all time. It bombed hard, because emojis should have never caught on.

I'm kind of in the mindset of stripping these "characters" out of posts, and I think it's even stupid that I have to do that, considering how these dumb little things are becoming a standard.

Emojis. Good or bad?
