That emoji is pretty versatile, from what I’ve seen it can resemble feeling melancholy, dead inside, exhausted, or a sarcastic “I’m fine”. But as with most emoji’s, it’s all about context clues to fully understand why it was chosen.

Oataku. So a weeb for oats?

Infinite@lemmy.zip on 28 Aug 23:04 collapse

As opposed to the superior wheataku.

It is specifically for referencing the flower in Beauty and the Beast. All other uses are illegal.

I thought it was analogous to the DSA’s use of the rose as a general socialist symbol. The wilting is poignant in that context.

In gen z, I see it mostly used as an ironic “this is sad”. It’s like how 😭 is used as a laughing emoji.

example:

“this guy really thinks that was tuff (cool) 🥀”

What? Why would anyone use a crying emoji as a laughing emoji when there are so many different laughing emojis to choose from? I’m starting to feel old…

Xylight@lemdro.id on 29 Aug 15:16 next collapse

Idk man. same reason why this generations humor is “6 7”, aura, etc

DreasNil@feddit.nu on 31 Aug 08:27 collapse

What does that even mean? 😳

example

for me, it’s because the laugh emojis are like… ‘old person’ emojis.

I’m so happy I’m not gen z because that makes no sense whatsoever 😂🧔🏻‍♂️👴🏻

TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works on 31 Aug 01:38 collapse

gen z here, this is closest to correct
