Taking a hardline approach to prescriptivism is the language equivalent of feeling very strongly about one specific year of pop culture and wanting to hit the brakes on the march of time and keep resurrecting, say, Pump Up The Jam.

Stay mad, Peak Human!
I think I've figured it out. These mega-genius redditor libs understand the secret truth: The more verbose someone is, the more cleverer and correct they are. The more they waffle on about a topic, the smartier they are. Therefore, someone trying to communicate more efficiently, using a picture to convey their meaning, the more stupid and wrong they most certainly are.
what if I'm crazy verbose but also sprinkle in emojis just to make sure my tone/intent is coming through
The more verbose someone is, the more cleverer and correct they are...
You know what this means: deploy the leftist memes!
Women tend to use emojis more, so redditors and by extension lemmitors hate emojis
Huh, I never really thought about it before, but I hate that you're probably right.
I like pig butts and I can not lie
All you other brothers can't deny
If you go into the rest of that thread, a number of euphoric Redditor-tier insufferable nerds showed up to go about punctuation omissions, too.
Sarcasm is very hard to convey with just text. Emojis help fix that.
Are they trying to make themselves feel superior to us since we use lots of emojis?
Um... I hate to tell you this, but honestly, let's be honest, it's almost as if the only way to be a Peak Human is to be cromulent with your vocabulary, using ten words when would would do, and to fill your bloviations with visceral trendy words that get Reddit-popular among the very smart people that like logic, reason, facts, and other things that are exclusive to their specific secret club. I'm sorry if that hurts your delicate fee fees. Who hurt you?
