The various types of mindless shitposting the whiny meme elitist /a/ reject types on /qa/ like is "board culture," so it should be worshiped and coddled by the community.

Stuttering like the speech issue or something else?

Emoticons are made pointless by virtue of the fact that this is an image board, and a picture can convey much more than a few characters od text. On the other hand, stuttering cannot be substituted with an image.

It's an image board. Want an emoticon? Post it yourself. This new moot shouldn't have to give them to you.

This isn't a chatroom, even leddit looks down on emoticon, kindly take your shit back to facebook or wherever the fuck you guys came from.

The point is that ERP and stutterspeak are even worse, not that emoticons are okay, you fucking homos, stop pretending to miss the point.

>>390890
You're right, so take your cancerous stutter shit and roleplaying back to Facebook with it.

b-be nice

There's exceptions. We use shit like lenny face, ;_;, and :^). We use reaction images, text art, etc..

Really I think the difference between that and the usual emoticons is that a lot of shit like xD, :), emoji, and :D are used in a passive-aggressive way that is offputting to your average anon who comes to this site to avoid that kind of shit.

It really depends on the context. Not to mention that we have reaction images. It's hard to justify emoticons when you can just post an image.

Usually. There's the faggots that get triggered by emoticons regardless but those are the same people that whine about anime.

I haven't seen the lenny face on 4chan in a long time but other than that I agree with you.
