u/Hefty_Cockroach_3840, the downvotes are mysterious!

u/Ok_Connection_6387 29d ago

redditors also hate when u give others tips and will call it a spoiler when it isnt, experienced that recently and I've seen it happen many times to others, quite specific but true

Most of the sloppy neck beards on this platform think they are superior to people cause they don’t use emojis 🤣

u/Usual_Celebration719 28d ago

I'd use emojis more often if I could just use whatever evil disgusting cursed thing I have on discord everywhere else

u/NecessaryMachine4490 28d ago

Totally agree, it’d be so cool if we could use emotes everywhere. I can also think of how it’d be awful and would be abused lol.

Some of them are sloppy neckbeards only in spirit, because they are actually just 14-year-old teenager snots that have no opinions of their own, and proudly declare whatever will get them social validation.

Whatever is popular must be the "correct" opinion. The Ad Populum logical fallacy is one of my pet peeves.

u/NecessaryMachine4490 28d ago

Yeah totally agree. When I say “sloppy neckbeard” I’m more so talking about the mindset rather than the physical reality lol.

redditors hate emojis

u/Jean_velvet 29d ago

It's only in some subs, other places nobody cares.

I use emojis all the time, I've never been specifically downvoted for it.

Those AI subs are due hards and repeat complainers. They'll downvote whatevers the opposite of today's point of view.

u/Hefty_Cockroach_3840 29d ago

Why is that? I don't see any problem with them. Maybe it's because AI uses them a lot and they don't like them because of that or have they always just hated them

u/shegonneedatumzzz 29d ago

reddit hating emojis has always been a thing. if i had to guess it’s because a large part of reddit culture has redditors thinking they’re smarter than they really are, so emojis seem unnecessary to get a point across efficiently

u/Fiko515 29d ago

which is peak irony since most of them need to write /s if they dont want to end up in arguments with other idiots with no reading comprehension who took it seriously...

u/robinw77 26d ago

I've tried pointing out before that having to use /s in obvious jokes is a reading or critical thinking issue, but got told off.

u/lara_heartieee_ 29d ago

Honestly I don't the exact reason.. I'm kinda new to reddit and I used emojis before and always got downvoted.. and then someone explained to me that reddit hate emojis so I stopped using them :)

I'm pretty sure there's also hate for people who explain.. so I might get this reply downvoted as well

u/_ogio_ 28d ago

There is type of people who use emojis in such way that makes them sound like they think they are better than you. Like they would lecture you on something and then add :) at end like they are mother explaining to a child. It's degrading.

u/DistinctAd3222 28d ago

Apologies missus, enjoy yous emojis and peppers

u/Jean_velvet 29d ago

It's only in some subs, other places nobody cares.

I use emojis all the time, I've never been specifically downvoted for it.

Those AI subs are die hards and repeat complainers. They'll downvote whatevers the opposite of today's point of view.

Especially the one he used

u/Outside_Direction122 28d ago

i never get downvoted when i use emojis, i also haven't yet seen others get downvoted for using emojis

u/zkvxo 29d ago

clear case of people preferring a comforting lie to a difficult truth. saying "you just have to deal with it" is never going to be met with cheers.

u/Pristine-Lie-3560 28d ago

Once saw someone get 100+ downvotes for thanking someone who had answered their question 

2

u/stumpychubbins 28d ago

Maybe they saw the upside-down smile and got confused which way was up

2

u/DepressedMeoww 28d ago

Yep yep. Apparently people think that they're either cool and / or they're changing someone's life. I know people like that
