For some reason these IRC vs X discussions always have the IRC party attributing character flaws to everyone else.

Like not being creative enough to read the same amount of information from ":)" and specific, rich, custom emoji like, I don't know, someone simply shrugging. That's some bizarre self-aggrandizement.

I encourage you to go on a Twitch channel and tell me the :) equivalent of all the custom Twitch/channel images you see in chat.

Could you break these down for us?
