I feel like "UwU" and "OwO" have been ruined
They're cute little icon faces are they not?
Someone sent me death threats because I used "OwO" when I was playing with them
People doing all that just because someone used a face are so immature
It's a cat face
Unless I'm missing something

I feel like using :3 is kinda similar, so I substitute with it. Some people still get mad at me when I use it, but less often. I think the others things are ruined because E-daters and overall weird people used it way too much and it just became their thing.
I mean, i love when people are funny or silly or cringe. And i like it when people use a lot of emoji or emoticons (these people often wear their hearts on their sleeves). Why people be irritated though? I still don't get it either 😂. My only guess is maybe they feel like you're immature for using emoticons? (Still, it's not justified one bit to send death threats because of emoticons).

Just in case you're feeling down if people get upset with the fact you're using emoticons and called you immature: remember that being mature has nothing to do with being serious. So, please keep being you.
Theyre just little cute faces 😭 why r ppl so sensitive over a little EMOTICON!?
I miss when it was "acceptable" to use them :/
It's literally these emojis 🙀😸 tho
DEATH THREATS?! EXCUSE ME?! That makes me want to say uwu more ITS A SILLY LITTLE FACE.
Death threats because of making a silly face is absolutely ridiculous omg😭 but yeah i remember using "owo" "uwu" and other variants when i was younger though if anyone uses it these days i think it gives very chronically online discord user type of vibe but death threats is just crazy i feel bad for you
death threats is crazy… people are way too sensitive, horrible!! like its not that deep its fr just a cat face, but ppl will be hating on anything really
I'm sorry to hear you got death threats over it, too
Yeah, I love them, but stopped using them because people can very agitated over them :/
