disparity in online communication: the emoji font used by tumblr makes “🤔“ look like an utter dipshit (as intended) while twitter just gives me some jabroni

image

exactly right! twitter actually uses its own pseudo-font where emojis are replaced by actual pictures but on other platforms anything goes! when i send a message to someone else i don’t necessarily know what they’re reading it on and it could show up for them as any one of these dudes

image

because the tone intended by the sender isn’t guaranteed to match what the receiver ends up seeing you can end up with much worse miscommunication! under no circumstances would i want someone to think i typed the former when what i meant was the latter:

do you understand my plight

a related issue is people changing their default font
