The Teacup Reaction

[ChB 18,557]

It seems that the Teacup Reaction has no inherent meaning in this forum. Thus, it seems that it can mean anything the user wants it to mean.

 

To those who give the Teacup Reaction to some posts, what does the teacup reaction mean to you? What kind of posts do you give them to?

I see the Teacup, as "I agree with you, old chaps *sips tea*"

For me, it generally has the same meaning. A brohoof is a mere like, whereas a teacup means I completely agree.

[Flutterstep 47,101]

I think the teacup reaction has the same use as the tongue out smiley

Also, there's no such thing as the teacup conspiracy.

[King of Canterlot 9,603]

Teacup means "I like what you had to say, so let's clink our teacups together" When I use the teacup, I imagine that I'm clanking my teacup with the user because of a really good post they made, a brohoof seems more like a high-five, while a teacup is much more formal and seems more appropriate to a much more thought-provoking post

I feel that the teacup is more of a “Well Played!” Sorta thing to me.

[DubWolf 17,313]

This is what it means to me  .

Is that Leonardo Dicaprio?

On another forum I'm on, one of the ratings you can give another user is a beer, like the beer emoji. Teacup to me is the equivalent.

Indeed it is  . Not sure where from.

Out of all the films with this guy, I've seen Titanic and Romeo + Julliet.

[Shrug 9,955]

I think it should be gotten rid of. I seriously don’t see any point of it because it simply has no meaning. 

[Wannabrony 11,640]

For me, it's to show agreement like everyone else said, but it's also the universal sign of @The_Gobo.  

[The_Gobo 36,257]

I don't know what you're talking about, it definitely has meaning.
As far as I'm aware it's suppose to have no meaning.

It's just a way to boop someone via reactions, whereas brohoofs technically have an approving connotation to them

:3

^

This goo gets it! The reaction, is no reaction

;P

[SparklingSquirrels 21,349]

Yeah, I use it for when I want to react to someone's post but I don't know what other reaction to use.

Then shouldn't there be a boop button, then?  I would definitely like that.

[Victoria Sponge 1,017]

It's just a silly one I like to use for fun, I tend to use it instead of brohoof, especially when reacting to Trixie or Starlight related posts.

But there ISN'T one...

So we use teacup in it's place o3o

 

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

I asked Catsle this very question a few days ago and... well I actually forgot what he said. Its sorta just a meaningless reaction I guess, up to the user to decide what it means.

[Rhythm Red 6,484]

I think it's a 'cheers' reaction, to be used when you agree with someone. Instead of just liking the post, you are showing your agreement. That's how I use it least.

That’s about how I feel about the reaction as well.

[Shrug 9,955]

I wouldn’t mind it so much if it actually counted to your like total. But it doesn’t. So that makes it even more useless. 

It is just kind of annoying to get a notification from a user only to check and find out that it’s a teacup. Which I don’t really know how to feel about. The fact that nobody can really agree on what it means kinda proves my point.

Agreed. 

I also wish that there was a way to tell people what kind of "reaction" they recieved when they get a notification.

[MasterSpark95 430]

I always thought of it as kind of a brohoof, like you really agree with someone and what they have to say, except instead of a brohoof, it's more like a toast.

Well at least that's my two cents, anyway. :/
