Gen Z canceled the ‘hostile’ thumbs-up emoji and wants to ban these 9 others
NY Post ^

Gen Zers are calling out the popular thumbs-up emoji for being “rude” and “hostile,” even saying they feel attacked whenever they see it used in the workplace.

“For younger people, the thumbs-up emoji is used to be really passive-aggressive,” a 24-year-old Redditor wrote. “It’s super rude if someone just sends you a thumbs up,” they added. “So I also had a weird time adjusting because my workplace is the same.”

Several Reddit users agreed with the decision to cancel the emoji, saying that using it in a work environment makes the team members “unaccommodating” and seem “unfriendly.”

Dear Gen Z: There are many finger emojis I have in mind for you... and will be including the steaming pile one as a bonus.

Yet Vegans trashing stores, and Eco-Terrorists gluing themselves to priceless paintings — that’s not rude?

I was just talking to some musician friends of mine on how we were lucky to grow up before the internet and never had cable TV. My parents and grandparents all learned musical instruments and there were fun parties with everyone playing something. We kids were out playing or exploring, or working, from sun up to sun down. Now... Kids, not all, sit around worrying about a twitter post and pronouns from some tranny as life passes them by and they learn, study, and master nothing but self pity.

And yes... I am posting this on the internet....

Gen Z is useless.
They can barely operate or function.

My boss announced that the thumbs up sign is racist, and will not abide by it.

So all my guys of various ethnic backgrounds started giving him the thumbs up sign.
