I just realized something after scrolling through a few pages of /v/ that appears to be true on most other boards too: no one uses exclamation points except for the following occasions
>shitposting of the spammy or falseflaggy variety
>cutepostinge.g. I-I don't w-want you to bully me, A-anon! I'm too shy!
Why is this?
It's something that you don't really notice but upon realizing you can't stop seeing it
Is it too genuine an expression of excitement or anger, do people think it's faggy, what is it?

Expressing emotion using exclamation mark is sign of immaturity.
Carat nose is better :^)
It looks homosexual
That's a pretty mean post you made there, anon!
It makes me look too excited
It makes me look too excited!

CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR SHOUTING

Emotions are forbidden.
!'s are for sissies. Only erp sissy anons use them these days!
Fuck you, faggot!
FUCK YOU, FAGGOT
tell me OP, which has more impact?

>a few pages

>He doesn't use infinite scroll
>>383084646
It's just a thing.
/jp/ uses exclamation marks though.

>>383087831
>>383088089
This is why
Weebs, furries, erp fags and other kinds of obnoxious cunts ruined exclamation points by overusing them. Same reason hardly anyone uses "trolling" and instead use "baiting" even though it means the exact same thing.
only girls and fags unironically use exclamations

First one actually!
Exclamation points are generally used by women, same thing with words like "umm" "*sigh*"or even "sigh".
None of us are women, and to say we are is to shitpost.
/v/ - Orthography
>>383084646
Never not going to do this now!
>>383101303
At least it didn't descended into grammar /pol/ levels yet.
You know, the while "hormones in the water makes americans be unable to distinguish between they're/there/their"
>english game
>no exclamation points except if someone is yelling
>japanese game translated to english!
>every sentence ends in an exclamation point!
if you want to shout use caps
