The last time I was dating someone, she texted me to ask if we were still on for our date the next day. I replied with a thumbs up emoji and some additional text saying I was excited about seeing her again.
When we got together for the date, she asked if I was mad at her about something. I didn’t understand, so I asked why she would think that. She explained that the thumbs up emoji is used as a passive aggressive insult now.
I think she picked it up from her students. She’s a professor at a university, so is hooked in a little bit more to the Gen Z culture. Unfortunately she can’t just replace her students, as much as she’d like to sometimes 🙂

If we mix OP and your comment together:
👍.
Is violently aggressive
She needs better friends. That sounds exhausting.
