/p Vs /neg?

5.8BRAINROT SCORE

/P— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

/p A tone indicator typed at the end of a message to mark a platonic tone: affection or closeness that is friendly and not romantic. It is used in online communities and by people who find tone hard to read in plain text, including many neurodivergent users.

Origin:Wikipedia's article on tone indicators lists /p for a platonic tone alongside /gen, /r and /t, and notes that such tags are especially popular with neurodivergent people. It gives no date for this tag. Community glossaries add variants such as /qp (queer platonic); the tags are community-made and not standardised.

""I want to hug everyone in this server /p""

/NEG— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

/neg A tone indicator typed at the end of a message to mark that the statement carries a negative connotation or negative intent, for example a complaint or criticism that is not a joke. It is used in text chat and on social platforms, especially by people who find tone hard to read in plain text.

Origin:Wikipedia's tone indicator article lists /neg (also /nc) as the tag for a negative connotation, alongside /pos for a positive one, and says the article's claims about them need citations. It gives no date or place of origin for /neg itself, and traces the wider habit to /s for sarcasm, which comes from the older </sarcasm> tag idea, with an emoticon precedent from 1982. No dated first use of /neg is documented in the pages opened. The existing entries on tone policing and the slash tags /j and /srs cover related uses.
