    To all who would prefer not to know, but would probably be better off knowing... The "😭" emoji is a dog whistle for pedophiles, often accompanied with "UOOOOHHHH" and other phrases.

    And I can fucking guarantee you'd see them in that Twitter thread.

        I've already linked someone the KYM page that probably explains it best... But here you go:

        And no just using the "😭" emoji does not make you immeadieatly a pedo. Just like using the "👌" hand sign doesn't suddenly turn you into a fascist, but we know they are used by these people as dog whistles nonetheless.

      The thread is making fun of the game for this so I dont think so lmao. Also most of the characters are adults.

      But nooooo what I used the sob emoji all the time. Not on twitter though. Just on discord. Sometimes I have to sob?

        For more context I can give you the KYM (Yes I know) page, it's all context dependent. (CW: Potential pedo apologia, most likely in the comments) https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/uohhhhhhhhh-%F0%9F%98%AD

        Also, good on that thread for making fun of the game I guess xdd
