It looks nice and cute but at the same time I almost always see it used sarcastically
It doesn't even look passive aggressive. It looks dead inside >

😀 >

I concur. 😃 >

🙂 >

🙃 >

"I'm gonna keep using it and you can't do a thing about it 😀" >

My sister always says that 😀🔪 these two go perfectly together. Maybe I should combine them when I send her that text >

Never heard of that emoji being passive aggressive >

Gen Z here. A lot of us don't like the 😀 emoji because it feels like a sarcastic smile which makes it a bit passive aggressive. It has to do with the fact that even though the mouth is wide open, the eyes look normal, making it seem like the smile isn't genuine. So compare 😀 to 😃😄 and 😆. What you will find is that they all are smiling their mouth wide open but they also have changes to their eyes, making the smile/laugh feel true. 😃 is still a little uncomfortable because of how much it is like 😀 so I use 😄 and 😆. Also 😁 can come off sarcastic but it depends and that's another explanation. >

🙂 is also on this list >

I use this for "I'm PISSED about the thing I'm sending and if you don't again, you're dead." Lol >

Which is actually passive aggressive, no?  If you’re PISSED and you’re wearing a subtle smile? >

Oh for sure, but there are different types of passive aggressive. >

I feel like 🙃 takes the cake on passive aggressive. Like, arguing with an SO and they just respond with "Whatever it's fine 🙃" >

i feel like that one is too straightforward, like “what wtv it’s fine 🙂” it’s way worse to me hahaha >

I feel like regardless of the emoji, "It's fine" is a universal sign that it's gonna be a long fucking afternoon lol >
