Gen Z feel uncomfortable about thumbs up emoji because it’s ‘passive aggressive’

[Kyle C. Barker]

I can believe it as I’ve used that emoji in an passive aggressive way many times before

is what I mainly use to be petty.

Lol

In the 90s and early 2000s, that shyt was pretty damn close to giving someone the finger. I can see it and I'm kind of surprised it's still being used like that

I KINDA get it.

Like in IG, the default is the heart…anything else is extra

As a millennial, it does feel passive-aggressive.

Every time I use it at work, it feels like I'm telling someone to fukk off.

Its the equivalent of “K” as a whole response

Nah they’re spot on with this one. But I don’t think they came up with it either

We all text. We all deal with women. Just thru the natural progression of texting for 10+ years everyone knows (or should know) a thumbs up—-unless it’s to confirm an arrangement—-typically denotes passive aggression or indifference

A thumbs up text from your girl is akin to ‘it’s fine’ which we know is passive aggressive. Or if you dealin with a new chick if she thumbs up your shyt you not that guy. Thumbs up vs heart. Handshake vs hug. She handshaked you. You not that guy

Do you smash hoes? All

Nobody that smash hoes act give af bout this bruh

I done smashed X amount of chicks that was on that ‘bro, bro’ talk.

Sauce is sauce

Only young kids on this overthinking, social etiquette shyt

I say this as a guy who thumbs up and handshakes 304s

If you're offended by a thumbs up emoji then you guys need to get out more and grow up. I'm not surprised by some coli members being offended by it because they are perpetually offended by everything and are the same people who encourage mental illness (the irony of that poster) and have no self-reflection.

Question: Are we gonna change the 'dap'?

Ridiculous.

I use it both ways…that’s the beauty of it. Can’t tell if I’m truly “cool/yea/I got it/ok/will do” or “okay fukkboi…whatever/here’s a reply stfu and stop messaging me”

Cool story bro

Cacs exposing themselves

 

[Big Blue]

I only use it as a reaction to a Slack. Never as an actual message

Context matters
