Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted February 8, 2019 Supporters Share Posted February 8, 2019 What is up with the be careful emoji/notification? Am I I the only one it pisses off? Got a few and all I can think is "or fucking what" You going to tell your dad? Going to have a little temper tantrum and cry into your Crye hankie? It's like that moron in a pub who says "watch yourself pal" which is Saturday night code for I have had one too many and need to go for a nap so please help. Guess it was put in so people can let someone know they are being a bit nasty and and someone is about to melt away. But fuck me it is annoying.

Supporters Samurai Posted February 8, 2019 Supporters Share Posted February 8, 2019 Who is that guy anyway? I mean the emoji itself. It's weird indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resistor170 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 If used like it will be here then fine, ha ha etc. I've had "you can't say that!" ample times in person which grates me and gets something along the lines of" I'll say what the f**k I want you p***k" back. This be careful emoji is the same. A simple pm to you would do, ONLY if you might not have known about something your saying. A public be careful emoji would grate me too. A lot of hyper sensitive people nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Depends on the context. I have used it jokingly and in seriousness.

Supporters Druid799 Posted February 8, 2019 Supporters Share Posted February 8, 2019 I thought it was just a piss take , hadn’t realised it had a ‘serious’ meaning as well , doh ! 😳 So in response to this if anyone should feel offended by anything I have or do say then from the very very bottom of my colon I am truly truly ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, not bothered , not even the slightest at all , sorry . I’ll just let the god that is Stephen Fry sum it up for anyone who should feel ‘offended’ . P.S. if you ARE still feeling offended and do need some sympathy then please look in the dictionary and you’ll find it between shit and syphilis .👍 have a nice life . 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted February 9, 2019 Author Supporters Share Posted February 9, 2019 Yep it is an irritating twatish little emoji designed for the millennial generation. I think I will just stick with telling people to wind their neck in and stop being a prick because sometimes the old fashioned way is best.

Im of the same mind as Mr Fry, if your offended, that's a shame but it's not my problem. I'll take my emoji and wear it like a badge of honour... My 'edge lord' badge for being super cool and edgy!

Morons attacking butchers with verbal abuse and threats of physical violence recently. It's insane. As you said, it's oppression. Im of the mind that anyone can do, be, eat etc whatever the hell they want as long as it has no negative, oppressive effects on anyone else. You wanna be vegan? More bacon for us! Happy days!

And you forgot transgender and bathtub. Feel we are going slightly off topic here though. What I'm getting at is I bet a lot of these tolerance banner wavers would be some of the worst culprits for telling people what they shouldn't say just in case it might offend someone And this is the problem. Keep all this "be careful" shite up and look at the mess it'll make in the future Don't say that, it might offend him = opression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortal Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I thought it was just a daft icon, like a 'Carry On' kind of Kenneth Williams thing. It doesn't bother me what icons people put on my posts. If they really don't like what I say they can report it if it's offensive. Otherwise I don't give it much thought as I'm not that sensitive, it's the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Prisce Posted February 9, 2019 Supporters Share Posted February 9, 2019 This cheered me up this morning. Had a proper chuckle reading this. The time it should be used is when someone gets some facts wrong(basically everything I post it would seem!), let’s others and the OP know that there’s something slightly amiss with their post. I do agree that a good old “Wind your neck in” works, but sometimes I can’t be asked with the following arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
