    Twitter Is Replacing the Fav Star With a Stupid Fucking Heart

    [​IMG]

    Nothing matters anymore. Why even? When not even the icons we use to express a false sense of meaningless acknowledgement are sacred, I ask you, why. Even.

    Words that come to mind: Sadness. Oppression. Melancholy. Emptiness. Trauma. Angst.

    Not going to lie, I did a little bit of inner squealing when I saw the heart xD. It looked cool.

    I do miss the star, though. I can like anything, but I can't favorite everything. I reserved the favorite button for things I wanted to come back to in the future.

    My soul squealed too... In angst. The dying yelp of a broken man. I cannot cope. It is too much. We have gone too far. Human advancement has gone too far. We are out of control. We are playing God and we are gonna get burned. Mark my words, this right here is the beginning of the end.

    Yay!

    Such a beautiful way to show that deep down we are all connected through the music of the heart and that we should embrace each other as one large family would! The heart symbolizes the connection between all people as we all have hearts! (&&&)

    Now if only they changed the back button to a cute bunny rabbit! :eusa_ange

    Is this news? What has the world come too? I mean, sure, it's all kinds of messed uo normally, but people actually believing that a social network changing an icon is a big deal?! It 's not even an actual thing in the material plane!

    Well fuck me over sideways with a lunchbox! I'm outta here.

    Because my life is literally over. Not figuratively, not metaphorically, certainly not rhetorically, but literally over.

    Literally.

    The end. It has come to it's end. This is the first sign of Armageddon. We weren't always a good species (sorry Earth and the rest of it's inhabitants), but we sure as hell don't deserve this.

    IKR?! Every time someone "likes" (PUAG) your tweets now, they are effectively molesting your ideas. It doesn't get any more oppressive than that, your very expression being gangbanged by the community. This is a nightmare.

    Aw, you'll be OK, Mr. Snake! Something will come along to replace Twitter soon enough, and it will go the way of Netscape Navigator, AOL chat rooms, and My Space.

    And remember, we all

    They had a similar system on Quotev. I used to celebrate whenever I got a favourite on one of my content. :grin: I don't really use Quotev anymore though. But as someone who doesn't use twitter, I don't see what the big deal is?

    I like the heart. But why is this such a big deal?
