"Rolling Eyes" Emoji?

[BigAlonBass]

Would it be possible to get rid of the "Confused" Emoji, and insert a "Rolling Eyes" Emoji instead? 

Recently, some of the Comments on a few Threads have become sillier, or even more radical, and they deserve nothing less.

(Don't recommend an "angry" Emoji. I don't want these posters to think they're annoying me. I simply want a way to express my opinion on their 'views').

Eh, don't be lazy. Be eloquent

Nope. Some of the opinions and argumentative natures of the odd Poster, do not make me want to engage with them. I've seen other people post "eloquent" replies, and it turns into a pile-on, where the sensible reply is immediately classed as being written by a far-right scumbag. 

I'd rather just leave quietly...

TBH, I find emojis a bit passive-aggressive, but if there was a rolling-eyes emoji I'd use it on this thread! 🙄

What about this one ? 😮‍💨

[Reggaebass]

I like this one  

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

….or perhaps this one 🤦‍♂️

Fwiw the confused and sad emojis do look too similar imho

[BigRedX]

Even with my reading glasses on most of the "graphic" emojis look like anonymous yellow blobs, so I would have no idea what they are trying to convey.

They can be resized with the font-size control after they are added to a post.

Or we can insert unicode emojis. On a mac this can be done with [control]+[command]+[spacebar] and they can also be resized

Isn't there a block function to just ignore people if you don't like their views what they have to say?

 Just recite the Litany Against Discourse to yourself and move on.

  "I will not engage with bad posts.
    Bad posts are the mind-killer.
    I will face the bad posts.
    I will let them pass through me.
    When the bad posts have gone,
    there shall be nothing.
    Only I will remain."

Emojis are engagement though.

Assuming you mean those available as a "reaction", they can be useful in some circumstances, in my experience. For example, before they were introduced on Github many comment threads on issues would fill up with posts containing "+1" and no other text. Now, anyone wishing to show their support need only click the reaction emoji, greatly reducing clutter.

IMO, rolling eyes are an aggressive form of communication devoid of facts or analysis, and the person using them tends to remain free from responsibility.
IMO, rolling eyes are the tool of the coward.

Also, @BigAlonBass's words "they deserve nothing less" tell a lot more about him than about these people.
Who are you, BigAlonBass, to judge what people deserve?
All I know of you is that you consistently have trouble understanding simple humour in the Funny Memes thread, and that you consistently cry out loud, demanding that people dumb down their humour so that even you can understand it.
Do you REALLY think that YOU are the person to judge what other people deserve?

My stomach turns.

No more stomach-churning from me, young Bigot.

'Bye.
