The ****ing confused face emoji reaction on here, always from the same lot as well, if you don’t understand one of my posts or you’ve got a question or you don’t agree just ****ing quote me and we’ll have a discussion.

I agree and the people using it to your post just to get a reaction are pathetic

Yeah, its a bit condescending so for that reason, its worse that the likes of a dislike or angry emoji.

Film/media critics, I wanna know if a film is enjoyable. Bashing a really enjoyable flick because it has loose sub texts or focussing on a really narrow part of a character arc just so they can really drive home how much cleverer they are than you is wanky. Not every piece of cinema is a magnum opus nor is it meant to be a seminal representation of summat you bores

I'll stick up for them then. 

 

Enjoyment is an opinion which is subjective. Critics will say if they enjoyed a film or not too, but also delve into why they did by using objective comments on the process to criticise and maybe give some insight into what they thought was wrong or right with it. 

 

Kermode is very good at that. I don't always agree with some of his likes and dislikes, but I like the fact he can eloquently describe why is something I enjoy listening to him for. Mayo often counters him with a more "man on the street" opinion too which is nice to hear.

It's so passive aggressive too.

Aye, it was a useful tool.

 

Still doesn't make it right - might as well get rid of all the emojis if that's how it is. How long before the same people are crying again because they think the Haha emoji is being used to be mean to them?

It was the most pointless one of the lot though by a country mile.

The like, laugh and thanks emoji serve a purpose. It means you can show appreciation without having to reply to each post that you like, find funny or helpful, because you don't really need to reply. But if you're confused by a post, why would you not just quote the poster and ask for an explanation? What's the point in just clicking a confused reaction and leaving it like that?

90% of the confused emoji's used on Foxestalk were for @fuchsntf posts.

Seen a few things like this being shared on Facebook and they are annoying me. Original content is fine, even if its shit, but have people got nothing better to do than copy and mine to other people work for social media likes? At least come up with your own stuff. Saw one of a women miming to a Lee Evan's stand up bit too. Totally pointless.

This guy is a proper tosser, one of those "I'm allowed my opinion" when challenged about anything because he doesn't have a brain cell to argue with.
