It's pretty easy write them. Clearly not everyone can understand them.

Yours doesn't have a white-to-color gradient starting from the middle to the outside. Maybe that's it. Also the eyes are shorter compared to the ones in this one :thup:, Or the smile size of this one :thdown:

The shade is used in an alternative way, mixing the style of this, <3, and this, , together. I don't think the shade would make the smiley as somewhat different than others. I don't think the eyes should be made to look wider, otherwise it wouldn't fit the Golden Ratio of the face. And, if you're curious, the mouth is neutralized, so that it fits in between a wide one, , and a narrow one, :nuts:.

I like it. It fits the -.- expression, which I use a lot.

I'm glad that you do. Thank you.

The one suggested here... no idea really. What is that thing?

It's a "sweat-drop expression", one of the most widely recognized stereotype motifs of anime.

Yeah, I thought it had an "anime-style" to it.

 

[duyen]

Yeah you'll see the expression in any humorous / comical anime.

How often does a person not familiar with anime/manga/whatever use it?

About as much as never. Even anime fans don't actually make that face, its more of a glorified .

I wouldn't think of it that way. is embarrassed.

is being (sort of ) ironic, which is different than being embarrassed.

It's like this:

You're in a conservation about in-jokes and stuffs, and when you heard a friend saying a joke that you didn't get it the first time, then you did later, you would use this expression and say this in an (sort of) irony way: "Oh, right...

"

Is this description okay enough?

 

[Miz]

The smiley face is used when something is ironic, embarrassing, unexpected, has some humor to it or on a "Not needing to know that basis."

In examples, as you can see here

I like the emoticon, I would use it a lot :thup:

Smiley owns, add it^^

 

[NightShade]

If the smiley is added then at least the people who like manga can use it easily, what does it matter if other people don't use it as much, it's not like it will inpair on people's ability to write.

so why not add it?

I don't see why there is a big empty block under the emote, It makes it hover about the line, Its not needed and should be cut out.

Perhaps since you added a space?

Without space:

[Pineapple]

even so,

Are not emote here, I can just treat them as images though. So I can still use them.

@ Anman, I was refering to the one in post 1. Not mine.

correct answer!

 

[tom_mai78101]

I'll wait for an official answer from an administrator.

Thank you again.

> what does it matter if other people don't use it
Other people won't even understand it. Seriously, it still doesn't make much sense to me.
It would probably pass if the site was focused on anime. Or if it had a large number of people who regularly watch anime. Right now the anime/manga forum has 72 threads while WE Help has 67733 which is about 940 times more (mad calc skillz, I know! ). Adding a smiley that only a couple of people would understand is not much of a good idea. Not to mention that nothing prevents those few form using the tags.

But I'm not actually capable of adding it (only Ace and TH can do that) so I guess you can't consider this an official answer.
