Let me be absolutely F**KING clear: The use of ":3" as a form of expression is the linguistic equivalent of a child smearing glitter and glue onto paper and calling it art. It’s the sad anthem of people who mistake mediocrity for charm, clinging to this obnoxious emoticon like it’s some badge of quirky brilliance.It isn’t, it's a pathetic display of one’s own blandness and inability to separate from the here, these people just consume and regurgitate whatever conceptually puerile slop they see on social media like pigs gorging themselves from a trough.
":3" is not endearing. It is not playful. It’s a limp, f**king DESPERATE attempt at feigning cuteness, whilst in reality erasing any semblance of dignity or self-respect one possessed before-hand. It’s the visual equivalent of babbling incoherent imbecilic muttering, a symbol of social obliviousness, unaware that no-one outside their echo-chamber of “kawaii” and whatever indecipherable muck these cretins are consuming.
Worse yet, the “:3” crowd wear their vacant smiles as if they’re delivering comedic gold. Here’s a harsh truth: It’s not clever. It’s not funny. It’s a clumsy cry for attention disguised as something whimsical, a pitiful attempt to disguise emotional immaturity with faux innocence.
Encountering a ":3" user is like being accosted by someone who still believes Minion memes are the height of comedy. They genuinely think using ":3" gives them some sort of quirky appeal, some misguided sense of uniqueness that couldn’t be further from reality.
It’s time we moved past this atrocity against digital communication. It’s time to call out the people who wield ":3" as if it adds something of value to their personality. The world deserves better. We deserve better. Every single mentally adept person who has been forced to see this emoticon in their DMs, or in a comment section, a chat or whatever digital communication they utilise, deserves better.
Leave ":3" where it truly belongs: buried in the dumpster fire of humanity’s gravest mistakes.
