You don't have to publish this one cause its sensitive, but the overreliance of tone indicators is also causing a lack of critical thinking and causing people to not be able to read context clues. Ppl have been saying blatantly racist and bigoted things and if they put /j or /s it is suddenly ok. I have seen people be unable to read sarcasm that is so think it might be concrete because there were no indicators. This is how people who know the language of in groups are able to inflitrate. 1//

honestly yea anon i really agree w u like. i was gon talk something bout tone indicators cuz i been thinkin a them a Lot Too

like. i have found quite often tone indicators just lead to confusing me way more than helping me understand tone n shit cuz so often now ppl use tone indicators like a free pass to say whatever they want be it nasty shit or being rude and disrespectful, and act like tacking a /j or /s /lh on that shit completely eliminates the severity of their own words. i feel ppl use tone indicators as a way to like. not have to think critically of words and intentions all the time. like the use of tone indicators has become from a way to know if someone is mad or not in their text to making it so the words themselves dont need to be understood or considered as long as theres tone indicators. its like. a way to just take things at face value without deeper consideration of words and intentions, or a way to say whatever shit you want without repercussions

a lot of ppl have used difficulty with understanding tone and intents through text, something we All can really struggle with, and now just use it so they dont need to look for context or the bigger situation. just like w tommy's video like u said. him not putting a tone indicator doesnt suddenly make him serious either? like its completely obvious theyre friends. but ppl can just say 'well he's serious now because he didnt put a tone indicator and he actually does hate techno'. ppl jus twist tone indicators away from their actual intents and meanings so they can make out whatever they want from other ppls words

n like. how you brought up that fucked up ppl could easily use such to their advantage. yea i hadnt fucking thought bout that but youre so fucking right like thats scary shit. whats stoppin actual horrible ppl from using tone indicators us like ppl on twitter so often do?

like. whats the difference between a homophobe saying 'gay men are disgusting' vs 'gay men are disgusting /lh' in qrts to someone openly gay like velvet? would ppl jus let the second one pass when its literally still homophobic? id say probably
