For me emoticons were something that started when all of the boomers came to Facebook. Floods and floods of useless emojis left and right. So now I feel weird using them, like I'm cheapening the platform while also acting like the people that ruined Facebook for me

Emoticons are old internet. Emojis are boomer, normie, and corpo friendly translations.
