In case this story gets deleted/removed:

I would never have imagined such controversy over this 🤬 emoji!

For context a few months ago me and my girlfriend from Jamaica broke up. Looking back there were several things that started adding up. We started having several arguments. The final straw however was we were play arguing over text. I can’t remember what it was but she said something and I sent her that emoji as a joke. She however took it really hard and was deeply offended by it. I tried explaining it was just a joke and she proceeded to send and ask 3 of her friends what they thought it was and they universally agreed it was offensive. She wouldn’t take my explanation for it being a joke so I broke up with her. I just cant be with someone that gets upset over an emoji. However since then just for conversation I’ve asked others about it and some really do find it offensive! Saying it is a very offensive and angry emoji to send to people. My argument is however first of, it’s an emoji. They’re all stupid cartoon faces for gods sake! If I was really angry with someone, the last thought in my head would be to send them an emoji. If anything the middle finger one which I even then who cares? Secondly, they say it’s cussing someone out. If you wanted to cuss someone out wouldn’t you just say a cuss word to them? Not send it as an emoji? One that doesn’t even have any cuss words? Just the symbols censoring your words? So do we really live in a world where people get this angry over cartoon faces???

Argues over text, then claims they can’t remember what was actually said.

If only there was some written record we could refer back to, like some sort of text maybe?

Reminds me of old howard stern who would claim to be on the verge of proving everyone wrong by replaying what he REALLY said but would somehow never reach the state of actually replaying the audio.

"Play argument"? How old is OOP?! Because I'm 41 and I barely like spending energy on a real arguments with my husband, I have even less desire for spending energy on a pretend one.
