I don't get it... Unmatched because they used :-) instead of :)?

yes probably, the punchline being that that's his actual face

Bruh if she unmatches you for that, she was not worth your time to begin with

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That doesn't stop it from fucking up your head for a bit

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Thats true, yeah. Got that kind of stuff a lot before I got lucky and found my love. I guess I learned to accept that some people are just not worth your sadness, even if you feel a ton of it in the moment

I don't think there are many people on earth whose eyes are literal black dots, no nose, and a Glasgow smile made solid black. Must suck for them.

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 53 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I see a lot of people are missing that the :-) face WAS his actual face.

Which begs the question: did she unmatch because she prefers emojicons, or was she just not attracted to that type of face

I think the comic could use a touch up if so many people are missing the joke.

It took me a moment. But it shouldn't.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

You got me. Didn't catch that until I saw your comment

[–] Ech@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's wrong with a nose? :^(

[–] dukk@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just realized that’s a nose and not a tear…

[–] psud@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

:'( is crying

[–] snf@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the smiley face with a nose feels uncanny to me honestly

[–] viking 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why? That's how it has been done for almost 2 decades before emojis became a standard.

[–] girl@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

idk I’ve been using text emojis for about 15 years and no one I knew ever used the nose

[–] drasticpotatoes@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm older than dirt and I've never seen anyone use a nose / I have not ever used a nose.

[–] viking 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've never seen anyone not use the nose. Maybe a regional thing?

You’re probably on to something.

Spider location: >!behind the emoji that she messages in the 3rd panel!<

[–] UltraBlack@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I think the author uses libadwita applications...

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think the best smiley I’ve seen in a while is

:3c

I love that silly mf

[–] Nikki@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

put a wizard hat on them <|:3c

[–] Hupf@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

I put on my wizard hat and robe.

I think this would have worked better if it showed the emoji (still sideways, mind you) in an image bubble to suggest it was a photo. That would add the necessary layer of ambiguity to make this a funny question of whether she rejected because that's what he looks like or because of his manual emoji use
