But in this post, I\u2019m going to teach you about emoji attacks and how to show your disapproval of something through digital wordless expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is this good? Well, because in real life you have the choice to use your body language and facial expressions to express anger, micro aggression and disapproval, wordlessly. And why is that good? Because sometimes you\u2019re just a little bit disapproving but don\u2019t care enough to actually express it in words or actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the internet however, sometimes you can use \u201creactions\u201d such as thumbs down on posts and messages to show approval. But that\u2019s a very vague and non-expressive clue to the other person of what you\u2019re feeling. So, instead, you can use a chain of emojis that metaphorically expresses aggression and disapproval!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclaimer: Yes, I am not actually being very serious in this post. Take what you want, and leave what you don\u2019t want. I however, love emoji attacks, and to be emoji attacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More fun reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendyzhou.se\/blog\/fisheye-perspective-a-cool-trending-photography-effect\/\">Fisheye Perspective: A cool &amp; trending photography effect<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The trick to emoji attacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The trick to a good emoji attack is to not be too forward, and to make it into a joke. You don\u2019t want to seem like a bad person or actually hurt the person you\u2019re writing to. You just want to make the other person <em>feel<\/em> some of your negative energy directed at them, so that they know when to shut up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, some guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Don\u2019t only use boring emojis, make it comical. For example, instead of just a head, use an emoji with a wrapped up head wound. Instead of using a boring knife, use the biggest samurai sword you can find.<\/li><li>Exaggerate the action. You don\u2019t want to just cut someone, you want to bomb their entire house or village. You don\u2019t want to just show them the finger, you want to cut their finger off. And etc. And they will understand that of course you don\u2019t actually want to do that, you\u2019re only joking!<\/li><li>Use layers of metaphors. For example, my friend uses the emojis for the \u201cturkish eye symbol\u201d to curse the other for misfortune. (Well, I think it\u2019s fun). Or you could use some form of irony or sarcasm with double-meanings so that they don\u2019t really know what to think.<\/li><li>Don\u2019t explain your emoji attack (unless they ask you). It\u2019s like explaining a joke right after you tell it. No!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emoji attack examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a few examples of emoji attacks to use! I\u2019m on Apple so I\u2019m sorry if these threats are not as cool on Android\/other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>&#x1f52a;&#x1f915; (You knife person in head, but person survives with a bandaid and has learned a lesson)<\/li><li>&#x1f44a;&#x1f3fc;&#x1f91c;&#x1f3fc;&#x1f91b;&#x1f3fc;&#x1f44a;&#x1f3fc;&#x1f91c;&#x1f3fc; (You are aggressive punching in the air in front of the other person\u2019s face)<\/li><li>&#x1f52a;&#x1f607; (Don\u2019t worry, I will not knife you, I\u2019m just holding the knife)<\/li><li>&#x1f9c2;&#x1f441; (Salt someone in the eye)<\/li><li>&#x1f9ff; (Cast a spell on the person)<\/li><li>&#x1f9d9;&#x200d;&#x2640;&#xfe0f; (Perform bad magic on person)<\/li><li>&#x1f3e1;&#x1f6cf;&#x1f634; -&gt; &#x1f4a3; (Bomb person during sleep)<\/li><li>&#x1f642; (This is enough. Very scary sarcastic smiley face. Look at the eyes, they\u2019re not even smiling. Send this as the only answer to make them SWEAT.)<\/li><li>&#x1f921; (You call them a clown. Also, do not add any text to this. Just send this.)<\/li><li>&#x270b;&#x1f3fc;&#x1f519; (Back to you. So if they say \u201cHahah you\u2019re stupid\u201d, you send this and now they\u2019re the stupid ones).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disclaimer again!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, please only use these attacks on people who understand emojis and jokes. Otherwise, maybe it can get weird fast. Also, actually be kind before and after emoji attacking someone. It\u2019s for fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading, I hope you learned some good emoji attacks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weird topic, I know.
