Yeah. Learned the hard way that emoticons are a no-go. I almost always have problems with an artist if I use emoticons because they seem to think they can yank me around.

Not that you can't be polite but emotes like "uwu" give off a very quiet, stuttering vibe. "Y-Yknow...if you want...that's okay..." for example. Funny how just three letters next to each other can convey attitude.
