"MY EMOTICONS DON'T MAKE ME WEAK"[edit]

 (。•̀ᴗ-)✧ (POKING YOU)
 (。•̀ᴗ-)✧ (POKING YOU AGAIN)
 (。•̀ᴗ-)✧ (POKING YOU AGAIN AGAIN)

ヽ༼ ಠ益ಠ ༽ノ HEY YOU! Stop doing that!

 What? What do you want from me? ಠ_ಠ Can't you take a joke/poke?

ʕ •̀ o •́ ʔ Are you even LISTENING to what I'm --

 ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)...You're being hysterical over nothing! Check your tone - The first thing you said was:  " ヽ༼ ಠ益ಠ ༽ノ HEY YOU! "

ฅ⁽͑ ˚̀ ˙̭ ˚́ ⁾̉ฅ ARE you even listening to me? I said STOP. Do not poke me anymore. Do you interrupt men the same way you're interrupting me right now?

 !(•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑  OH everything is about GENDER to you, isn't it?

.·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·. JUST BECAUSE I'M ASSERTING MYSELF AND SAYING "STOP" AND SAYING WHAT I WANT TO SAY DOESN'T MEAN I'M BEING hysterical. WHEN I POINT OUT A GENDER-DYNAMIC, IT'S MY PERSONAL PROTEST AGAINST THE STRUCTURES WHICH AIM TO KEEP ME SILENT. AND I KNOW I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW AND I KNOW THAT ME CRYING ISN'T EXACTLY HELPING MY ARGUMENT BUT I DO NOT CARE. MY EMOTICONS DO NOT MAKE ME WEAK? DO YOU NEED ME TO SAY IT AGAIN? MY EMOTICONS DO. NOT. MAKE. ME WEAK. AND - WHY DOES "hysterical" EVEN HAVE SUCH A BAD CONNOTATION? THAT IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION. WHEN A PERSON SAYS STOP, YOU STOP. THEIR GENDER DOES NOT MATTER WHEN THEY SAY STOP. IT'S SO SIMPLE - AND IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I AM WEAK OR THAT I "CAN'T TAKE A JOKE" WHEN I TELL YOU TO STOP. IT'S BEHAVIOR LIKE THIS ON THE WWW THAT BLEEDS INTO IRL. AND THEN THERE ARE IRL CONSEQUENCES. CONSIDER THIS MY CALLING CARD. JUST BECAUSE I AM WORDS ON A SCREEN DOES NOT MEAN I AM NOT A PERSON BEHIND THIS DEVICE. A PERSON WITH REAL EMOTICONS. YES, THERE IS A DEGREE OF ANONYMITY GIVEN TO ALL OF US WHEN WE TAKE ON FAKE USERNAMES ONLINE, BUT THAT DOESN'T ABSOLVE US FROM RESPONSIBILITY.

 w(°o°)w OKAY OKAY I think I get it, Lady, I won't poke you anymore...

ヽ༼ ಠ益ಠ ༽ノ HEY YOU! Stop doing that! Did I not just tell you to stop doing that?

  ಠ_ಠ It's just a joke! I'm poking fun! HA, get it? POKING fun!

ʕ •̀ o •́ ʔ Are you even LISTENING to what I'm --

 ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)...You're being crazy over nothing! Check your tone - Just like last time, first thing you said was:  " ヽ༼ ಠ益ಠ ༽ノ HEY YOU! "

ฅ⁽͑ ˚̀ ˙̭ ˚́ ⁾̉ฅ ARE you even listening to me? Did you listen to what I said before? I said STOP. Do not poke me anymore. Do you interrupt men the same way you're interrupting me right now?

 !(•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑  Again with the gender thing...

ヽ༼ ಠ益ಠ ༽ノ ARE YOU SERIOUS

 ಠ_ಠ Why does everything have to be so serious with you people?

ʕ •̀ o •́ ʔ This is absurd.

 ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)...You're being a pussy over nothing! 

ฅ⁽͑ ˚̀ ˙̭ ˚́ ⁾̉ฅ A pussy?

 !(•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑  Yeah! A wimp! Emotional! Irrational! WEAK !!
