I don’t use them. The closest thing I have to a “favorite” emoji dates back to the 80s/90s, when what we call “emojis” were sideways faces created like this:
: – ( .
My boyfriend back then, Tim, was one of the first people to establish himself (for better or worse) as an online personality. He was known for “flaming”
Someone posted a piece suggesting various emojis to use as avatars. One showed a frowning, angry face that was meant to say “I get flamed a lot.” The next one was a snarling, angry face with fangs meant to convey “I get flamed a lot by Tim.”
