Gen Z feel uncomfortable about thumbs up emoji because it's ‘passive aggressive’

What it means

A young woman appears above crude stick-figure drawings centered on a thumbs-up gesture. The joke is that Gen Z supposedly interprets the normally positive thumbs-up emoji as passive-aggressive, making a simple acknowledgment feel hostile or uncomfortable.
