To think it's disgusting to stick your tongue out in photos

I probably am being unreasonable.

But I think it's revolting when you see photos of people with their tongues sticking out.

Why do people do this?

Clarabelle Google it, it's too hard to describe well, basically told your tongue into a clover shape...
You might find it revolting, but I don't and neither do my nearest and dearest so I can't say that I'm really bothered.

Kind of irks me too. It's not so much the action itself, but what it means and what it's for; to provoke a reaction because the act of poking a tongue out is traditionally meant to cause suffering to the person it is directed at (or just as a tease if there is no malice behind it). Obviously adults can do what they want. A little secret I never told anybody; when I was a teenager and when I felt my mum was getting on my nerves I used to poke my tongue out at her, because it felt good to do so, like I was disrespecting her and secretly getting back at her; of course, I was as coward because I was doing this behind her back or out of sight because I knew the repercussions of getting caught by her. I don't think finding it disgusting makes you weird, after all, sometimes it is meant to cause a reaction of distaste; some people will have a stronger reaction than others.

It’s only revolting if they’re tongue is white

Otherwise it’s a just a token pose🤷🏼‍♀️ Just like doing a peace sign or whatever, cringe but classic pose
