Request: A shrug icon for reaction.

[GTsongwriter]

There's been many times I would love to just shrug, but can't.

Can y'all add a Shrug icon to the reaction area?

[bats brew]

usually, ignoring a thread is equal to a shrug.

It's not in the menu with "Thanks, Great Idea, HaHa, Confused, Sad, Meh, and Like"

It is.  As "Meh."

Quote

 

Meh

Description:

Meh is a colloquial interjection used as an expression of indifference or boredom. It is often regarded as a verbal equivalent of a shrug of the shoulders. The use of the term "meh" shows that the speaker is apathetic, uninterested, or indifferent to the question or subject at hand.

Oh.  I thought the Meh emoji was a thumbs down, as in "This idea sucks out loud!!!!"    whereas a Shrug is more of an "I don't know" or a neutral "I don't know what to say."  For me the Sad emoji is also an "I don't know what to say" but with a definite, "but I feel your grief/pain/suffering" sense of empathy.

No wonder Asperger diagnoses have been on the rise since the invention and proliferation of emojis--no one can read facial expressions and gestures properly any more!  ?

This is an appropriate question for the Feedback forum. My guess is that The Coffee House is the least read forum for anyone with the ability to make that change.

I would like a "Love" reaction. As for a shrug, I think "Meh" already takes care of "I'm so indifferent to what you said that I must let you and the world know."

A thing I like about this forum is how little I feel like using any reaction but "Like," "Thanks, and "Good Idea," so I'd prefer adding more positive reactions than negative ones.

I feel "Meh" is thumbs down and could offend the poster, but a shrug would be less offensive.

Ha!  Since I've literally never given a thumbs down (even to those replies that were sorely asking for it), I never realized they had attached "Meh" to the thumbs-down icon!  That's just wrong IMO!

But, what do I know??? ?‍♂️

LoL... The forums creator should just change "meh" to the shrug symbol instead.

I miss the 'eating popcorn' emoji. We used to use it a lot around here. ?

I misunderstood. You're right, it's not there, but in the library of emotions.
Hey! That sounds like the name of a band!

But wouldn't "Thanks, Great Idea, HaHa, Confused, Sad, Meh, and Like" be a bit long for a band name? ?

I thought he was talking about "The Library of Emotions" to be a name of a band.  Sounds pretty cool!
