I don't care either way, but I always thought it was funny how reddit was so vehemently anti-emoji

Blah, emojis 💀

Btw so what I realized is that the crappy thing about emojis is that they stand out, possibly due to the bright colors.

I mean, is this annoying? 👀 Not really, I think.

But this? 🤪 It breaks the flow of text and pulls attention to itself.

Heck, even the more skin-accurate variants aren't all that annoying: 👋🏽 it's just the yellow ones. Why can't we have the basic smilies in more muted colors?

Yeah... I mean it's not so different from things like MAYUS, italics, bold, etc... OR ALL OF THEM!!!

If you are doing it just for calling for attention to your post and farming for "karma".. then you deserve all the downvotes you get.

But if you do it because you actually want to be expressive in your post, and they are relevant, make sense or help even a bit at delivering what you wanna say, then they are a great resource to use.
