I am actually gen z and the "😂" has simply become cringe because older people overused it so much and I guess that's why we switched to "😭"

It's also interesting to me how you still see it as crying because my brain just doesn't make that connection at all anymore

    I genuienly appreciate the explanation, that makes sense.

    2 reasons unc here sees them similarly:

    A ) I barely ever use emojis

    Many millennials grew up using

    *-*

    =D

    :<

    0.0

    >=[

    ... style constructions to represent emotions / facial expressions in text.

    I'm used to those, I'm not used to emojis.

    B ) I'm just actually slowly losing visual acuity.

    I'm getting oooollldddd.

    I've got an astigmatism now, and I tend to only wear my glasses when I absolutely need to.

    So I have to squint or put on my glasses to make out variations in emojis, sometimes.
