Critics argue that using “bad” alongside “cry” perpetuates harmful stereotypes around vulnerability and emotion. This raises questions about how visual symbols can either promote positive messages or reinforce harmful norms. The intersection of design, emotions, and societal implications in digital communication highlights the need for more mindful and inclusive iconography. #crying #icon #mentalhealth #representation #digitalcommunication #emotions
