the real fools are the ones that thinks gen z actually believes this. it's clickbait, don't take it seriously. a single reddit post with a few upvotes doesn't represent an entire generation.
I thought the thumbs 👇 was the passive aggressive one. Hence hidden by YT. 😂

As a gen z person, noone is really getting offended by this. This whole story is predicated on a single (possibly satire) reddit post someone made 10 months ago and the media is blowing it way out of proportion to get easy clicks. A bit sad really

Wundurra, nah boomers just laugh about more crap from the Gen Z corner, it’s irrelevant to them , they don’t even use most of the emojis on their keyboard. They prefer to communicate with words .
ill remember to use it more often , the middle finger also
I use thumb up emoji exactly for that purpose. 👍
Did you just make an entire segment out of one Reddit post? 👍
Posting the vichy russian yellow and blue flag in support of the german empire is pretty passive aggressive.

And this is why I just don't speak to anyone under 30 years old, probably unjustified. And for Gen Z that actually feels this way, on behalf my generation, and from a Gen X, 51 year old, full grown man, I would like to apologize to you for failing as role models and mentors.

I only know 3 third person singular personal pronouns (he she they). Why do I include they? Because singular they has existed since the 13th century and became very popular in Shakespeare's time. It was only in the 18th and 19th centuries that some language reformists decided that the gender neutral third person singular pronoun for someone of unknown gender or sex was 'he'. They is just a much more natural sounding word in this context, though it breaks agreement sometimes. 👍-gen z
This has everything to do with full house and nothing to do with gen z
ONE person on Reddit with twenty likes said they didn't like a specific emoji, this is definite evidence that ALL of gen z hates thumbs up emojis, that's the big issue!!
We'll all be in a straight jacket soon frightened to move in case we do something wrong.
O please . There are not 2 ways of seeing a thumbs up emoji. All you're doing is playing their game ..... How they must laugh at you for falling for it .
I (a millennial) found 👍 always offensive when my mother used to send it to me. Because it showed to me her ignorance of not caring much what I am writing. But it is my own interpretation. And I got used to it and accept it now. You cannot cancel always something because of your own misinterpretation.
Absolutely agree. I get a shock when i see a thumbs up
Obviously, they have never witnessed the FONZ!!
How stupid are people getting nowadays. Imagine this crap in the days of the gladiator..👍 oh bugger I thought it ment kill him.
The world's going to hell on a handcart👍👍👍👍👍👍
Misinformation at its finest, nobody is offended by 👍 at all
As a Gen X I think I can come up with a plain aggressive emoji to give to Gen Z. If they care to pay me a visit I can fully demonstrate why thumbs up is not passive aggressive at all, FFS, bloody emojis are cartoons, not serious shit, if I got a problem with someone I will bloody tell them right out screw emojis and that bollocks

This video is a blatant misrepresentation of my generation. Gen z does not care if you use 👍 or not. There is a very small minority of us who do think this, however, I have never seen them. Generalizing all of the zoomers to be snowflakes that want to cancel everything is tantamount to generalizing that all boomers are racist or all millennials are cringe. Obviously those are not true. And yet here you are; calling an entire generation fools. It is ironic as you are the one foolishly believing something you saw covered by legacy media and taking it at face value. Baka 👍

First they complained about the OK emoji; then they complained about "white colored" emojis; now they complain about the thumbs up emoji. They seem to be unable to do anything other than complain about anything and everything.

Correction - The complaining about the OK emoji was done by MAJORITY old people. Like it 100% had nothing to do with gen z. I remember it distinctly. And no one ever got mad at white emojis, unless it was like one post. And this time it was also only one post and it wasn't even complaining about the emoji. They simply said that in some situations it's passive aggressive, which is true. So no, it looks like you're the one here complaining the most.
‘Passive aggressive,’ is always open to interpretation. You can’t ban things based on interpretation.
