These kaomojis just don’t care and they want you to know. If you just don’t care and you want to throw your hands up in the air and say meh (but on the Internet!) then these are the emoticons for you!
The key to making Japanese emoticons that just don’t care is pretty much just having arms pointing upwards with , /, ┗, ┛ or ノ. It’s probably even better if you take some smug emoticons and give them the meh treatment.
Wow, there are a lot of kaomojis that just don’t seem to care. Whatever.
Shrug Faces
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is famously known across the Internet as the “shrug face”. These dongers are all a similar style with the same sort of arms. What is different amongst them are their expressions, which elaborate on the original, famous shrug face. While most people will recognize this famous shrug face, they will not be expecting to see all the other versions of it. So you can surprise them.

Straight Arms
These kaomojis simply have straight arms like \ and / raised up to say meh. One even has a bead of sweat on it’s face using the character ;. These emotes don’t care all that much. They don’t have much more to say about it either.
