please don't use the dash

I have apparently become principal Skinner. Please explain, youngster. How has typing out emotes that have a dash nose become sexual harassment??

Even with the responses I don't get it.

Maybe a less creative penis then what I learned on IRC

Not a youngster but I always dislike :-) for being weird. :) is quick, fun and simple. Why add -? It literally makes me uncomfortable. Ha. Ha.

It's hyperbole + I think it was implied that the emoji was being sent in a DM (since rizz is usually used in the context of being charismatic with women)

Just imagine more than one dash.

Multiple dashes, I'd understand being problematic. Ah, the joys of getting old; can't tell when the younger generations are making a joke vs When something has become a faux pas ./shrug

You thought that the original cartoon was serious???

Thanks to this post I learned instead of telling Siri “smiley face” ( :-) ) I can say “smiley emoji”.

Unfortunately I get 😊 instead of 🙂.
