I'd say the absolute majority of crying laughing emojis I've seen on Twitter are either used by trolls (usually to ridicule statements without having to actually engage with them directly) or as a seemingly meaningless filler or sign-off in extremely hostile replies. It effectively being used in the place of an insult would explain the latter use.
- Lio 5y agoNot sure if it’s a majority or not without detailed sentiment analysis but it’s definitely a thing. How best to put this… A lot of trolls aren’t that bright. They use the cry-laughing emoji as a sign off, as if it settles things. i.e. like it’s hilarious that anyone could think differently to them. They’re not looking for a conversation or to be swayed in anyway. In such cases it’s never worth arguing with them. They drag you down to their level and beat you up with experience. :)
