    Is this the place to admit that I have no idea what the morshupls emoji signifies?

      gish gallop by somebody who knows the core of their argument is rotten so they have to throw up endless streams of word salad as a smokescreen

        Thanks. But how did we get from here to there? (The only Zelda game I have played is Link to the Past.)

          he's an asshole shopkeeper who laughs at the idea of giving Link any credit. literally 2 lines in the entire Faces of Evil game but obviously his cutscene has a lot of wild movement. Morshu as a meme dates back to like YTMND (I can remember exactly where and when I first watched morshu.ytmnd.com lol)

          I've never considered morshupls to be like a 'debate pervert' kind of emoji but more in line with like the other 'capitalist' emojis we have capitalist-laugh porky-happy

      I think its signifies a debate pervert, but i could be wrong. While we're asking questions about emojis, what's the source for the maybe-later-honey? I want to subject myself to psychic damage.

        Lmao that is Alex Walker of Colorado. He's the Gay Democrat that was 'running' against Lauren Boebert in 2022 but only got like 9,000 votes in the Dem primary.

        The emoji comes from this vid where he essentially tries to argue that "actually if you're voting for progressive candidates you're the reason why republicans keep winning - ITS not my fault my policies and opinions are basically republican-lite, you should vote for me because I am the gay democrat running against Lauren Boebert" - which people dogpiled on and it obviously didn't win him any votes: https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1513618639840288774/pu/vid/576x1024/dPnCtaCdecu18ulF.mp4 (linking directly to the video on twitter because I don't wanna dig for it on his TikTok)

        my fellow gay/bi men I am begging you to stop using that insufferable voice whenever you're criticizing something - it NEVER makes your argument stronger...
