What a Strange Set of Smileys...

Yes yes, I know they've been here since the beginning, but has anyone else wondered why Badspot decided that instead of generic :) faces and sad faces and angry faces and whateverelse faces, we should have a cookie, a cookie monster, a sad panda, probably poop flavored icecream, and an NES?
No doubt these are all great things, but why?
Is there some great symbolic meaning behind it? Is it perhaps an ingredient in baddy's master plan? Or maybe itvwas just for the heckofit.
What do you think?

Wasn't it part of censorship or something?
Besides, I like these waaaaay better.

There was a time where there was a curse-word filter. What words replaced curse-words are now emotes.

Didn't some people in that topic say they were going to use the emotes as curse words to confuse the newer players?

So wait, cusses used to be censored with emotes?

No, they'd be censored just with words, but the words correlated to the emotes (except for cookie and cookie monster as far as I know).

"forget" used to be "panda" and "stuff" used to be "ice cream", I think "ass" was "nintendo" I don't know on that.  That's why if you look in really old threads/posts you may see sentences like "Go panda yourself" or "Go fu[size=0pt].[/size]ck yourself", because during that time you could make size 0 font too.

No?
View my post here and here. They explain the basics of this whole thing. I might have made another post about this before too, but I can't find it.

Oh wow. I completely read your post wrong. Haha, I thought you said people used emotes as their own censorship, and that there was never a curse filter.
