NO. Rage Face

“NO. face” is a rage face which can be used to imply anger and / or an ostentatious view of something. Another common use for it is sharing it as a reaction image, which can be used to imply a disagreement or a total disliking of an idea, view, or even a general comment in some cases.

Origin

The drawing had been made earlier and had been circulating around the forum for nearly a month, being brought back to life every time it fell into obscurity, by the artist (Up2Admin). The most notable of these threads was created on August 10, 2010 on the website’s art section, and was titled “Reaction face”. You can find the aforementioned thread here. Since then, it has been posted several times in the off-topic section of the website, including a variation of it drawn by Up2Admin which was designed to look similar to a regular user.

Spread

The image became popular when users from the originating forum, as well as the artist and his friends, began to use it as a favourite reaction image on several websites, being used mostly on Reddit, the random board on 4chan (/b/), and several odd websites here and there including Facebook. The spread was happening unbeknownst to the the creator, who found out only after a user showed him this KYM page. Recently, the image has been used in many notable Rage Comics, bringing it into a new light as well as driving it’s popularity.
