A textable image depicting slavery. More at the necessity for the a party to be utterly subservient to another, such as being a minimum/low-wage employee, minor child, student, or subjugated denizen. Should this relationship cease, the result is likely catastrophic to the future of the former party, with consequences including: (further) degradation (e.g. resorting to sex-work), unemployment, homelessness, starvation, and death.
The need for this hypothetical emoticon was articulated by comedian Byron Bowers
(whilst texting) I got to get back to work my boss is coming (slavery emoticon)
(Facebook post) About to turn 26 so I better enroll for Obamacare (slavery emoticon)
(IM) My parents won't stop pushing me to fill out college applications (slavery emoticon)

Emoticon culture exists as a replacement for body language and tone of voice which is not possible through the medium of electronic communication.
1. Using emoticons to express feelings, inflexion, tone of voice and context when using e-mail/SMS/MSN etc without which may lead the recipient to misconstrue the meaning of what is said or interpret a joke as a serious comment or point of view.
2. The fear of being misinterpreted when using electronic communication that compels you to use emoticons extensively.
3. In e-mail forums, the use of emoticons when making contentious statements and to minimise the backlash and pillory one might otherwise be subjected to for expressing your true opinion.
a: " >:O You complete c***. How can you possibly say that? :S "
b: " : ARRRGH! it woz meant 2 B a joke. I forgot to :P at the end of the sentence :( That's emoticon culture for you :/ "
Note: This is quite different from Emoticon Rape (eg: " LOL! :D :D That was so funny :D :D :D ")
Emoticon Culture is created by fear and peer pressure. A victim of Emoticon Culture could easily descend to the level of Emoticon Whore.

When someone attaches the opposite emoticon to a sentence when they truly have the opposite emotion. For instance, attaching a smiley face to a sentence when one is totally pissed off.
You are the greatest :) (When I am actually thinking you are a total dumb ass. You have just been emoticon jobbed

Bill gate's way of telling you that he owns your soul, and there's no escape.
"It's kinda difficult to read what anyone says with poorly chosen emoticons."
"*A small list of giant icons and poorly made gifs follow*"
"Exactly!"

An emoticon that expresses the way anonymous users can make you feel great and next drag you to the pits of Hell.

the act of responding with the opposite emoticon rather than the appropriate emoticon when commenting on a status update, usually on Facebook but not limited to. This oddity invariably leads to confusion for everyone yet is hilarious to only the oppo-emoticoner and a select few of totally awesome somewhat twisted sharp-minded people that appreciate it. The hilarity varies inversely with the severity or emotional tone of the status.

girl1: "Craig has totally gone overboard with the oppo-emoticoning"
girl2: "whaaa-Shut up!!"
girl1: "Ohhh yea! He oppo-emoticoned the Sh*t out of my profile the other day. It wouldn't be that bad but now i have to explain to my mom why one of my friends is happy grandma has cancer!"
ex.
Girl1: "I don't get it. Why is Dave all smiley-face about me failing my class and not being able to get my internship? What did i ever do to him?"
girl2: "Girl you didn't know? Dave oppo-emoticons. He oppo_emoticons everybody. The guy has no regard for human emotion when it comes to his oppo-emoticoning. Especially when someones dreams or fears are involved.
It used to bother me but now i think it's cute, Dave's funny....but in your case sooooo wrong"
