The last time I was dating someone, she texted me to ask if we were still on for our date the next day. I replied with a thumbs up emoji and some additional text saying I was excited about seeing her again.
When we got together for the date, she asked if I was mad at her about something. I didn’t understand, so I asked why she would think that. She explained that the thumbs up emoji is used as a passive aggressive insult now.
I think she picked it up from her students. She’s a professor at a university, so is hooked in a little bit more to the Gen Z culture. Unfortunately she can’t just replace her students, as much as she’d like to sometimes 🙂

👍
That sounds exhausting. If my friends start interpreting thumbs up that way, I’ll just have to get new friends.
Edit: None of my business what someone else accepts in their friend circle.

Haha. Fair enough!
If we mix OP and your comment together:

Is violently aggressive
Weird, I use that frequently
