Sidebar, am I alone in absolutely hating "smol"?
No, there's tons of backlash against the "le reddit chungus" era of memes like doggo pupper smol bean etc.
Its the memetic inverse of "swol". Dunno if that helps or not.
No, I just guess that most people who dislike it (like me) dislike it on an "eyeroll" level, where you wouldn't use it yourself but don't have the energy to make a fuss about it.
