fans of Marvel snap, the hugely popular free card game, have come to a conclusion: the Ms. Marvel emote, where she smiles happily, winks a little, and gives a thumbs-up, is actually poisonous as hell. Ms. Marvel might as well be give you the finger and stomping on your guts after she steals your wallet.
Most of the time I turn my head when I see players calling something “poisonous”. in Inigo Montoya The Princess Diaries“You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.” “Toxic,” I usually think, is a word for horrible college relationships, isn’t it for US tap water. I wouldn’t normally use it in reference to a dizzying superhero blowing wind through her cartoon blowout when she gives a supportive thumbs up, but most respondents to streamer SanchoWest’s Twitter request about the emote’s poison status would tell me, that I’m absolutely wrong.
“Do you see [Ms. Marvel] as a poisonous emote?” asks SanchoWest.
“Put simply…yes,” he says a popular answer.
“I hope so because if you see me using it, just know I’m trying to be toxic,” admits another interviewee.

You can use a few different emotes that include Ms. Marvel Deadpool with arrows in her head and Grab Thanos , or canned phrases like “Snap?” and the Patrick Bateman-esque “I’m confident” to communicate with other players once you join a game with them. However, Ms. Marvel is popular post-match spam, so I can see her thumb becoming a defiant symbol for hate speech in this context.
A Redditor said in a thread, “When people use the Ms. Marvel thumbs-up emote after I lose…I want to dive through my monitor and smack my opponent in the face until it’s a pile of bones and brains.” Oh, ok. But Ms. Marvel is the toxic one? Yes OK. That makes sense.
Have you ever heard of the word “rude”?
