Blake's personal rule on his team is that no one can give him a one-word response (yes/no); responses must include emoji, GIF, or additional text because he over-contextualizes tonal cues and perceives one-word answers as passive-aggressive.

Evidence Quote

I'm someone who like on my team there's a rule that no one could give me a one-word response so no one could ever say yes or no it has to be like yes Emoji yes GIF or something like that because I think someone's mad at me when they just say yes that's my own weird cultural type of thing where you get that passive aggressive like sure yeah I I I'm like sure what like I can't stand that stuff
