funny at first then it becomes kind of stale.
it is true old users over react to seeing an emoji. i doubt its even some young person doing, probably some other user just doing it to get a reaction.
dont see what the problem is with new users coming on here most usually dont stick around. when they spam ssz usually cleans it up (eventually).
as with "culture" most of it is just copying 2ch with some being formed here.
also moot and his circle jerk sucks. it was the users that made site "great", but this is past so not really matter anymore...
