Topic: Reaction images!

[Lumi Kløvstad]

I enjoy using reaction images. Sometimes I do it to be funny. Sometimes I do it to troll. But most of the time? I pick a reaction image meme I feel is appropriate to the situation.

They get more across for me than a simple smiley or emoticon, and they have potential to be far wittier.

But, not everyone agrees, and my experiences on web forums has shown me that even on individual forums, the divide between those who use them and hate them can still be rather striking.

To those who use them, why do you use them?

To those who hate, WHY THE HATE BRO?

I love them, because they are so universal, that sometimes you must to emphatize your opinion with a image you surely would recognize as it's trying to tell you something more deeply than a sentence.

Also, they are very funny

Reason #1. Also because people have an easier time getting the references behind them.
