I genuinely do not know, but I keep running into that, where they just use the crying emoji and they tell me it means they’re laughing so hard they cried (not literally of course but w/e)… even though there actually is a laughing-crying emoji.
I’m going to yell at clouds tiktok, its probably clouds tiktok’s fault, somehow.
I’ve begun to find it grating, because somewhere along the line it seems to have been co-opted by people who exclusively communicate through passive aggression online lol
So it’s no longer “Who did this 😭😭”
And more like “Why are you buying takeout after complaining about minimum wage being low 😭😭”

I keep seeing zoomers use this and it keeps confusing the shit out of me, because half the time, it just looks like crying, not laughing-crying.

It’s like when it’s sad but also funny, so like, you’re laughing, but also crying in a “this is too real” kinda way
At least that’s how me and my friends seem to use it :p
