Man, lay off the devs. It's not like something like that takes an hour to code and impliment. If you think you can do better, please, by all means, try. But, until you've been on their side of things, don't bash them.
As for the emote... Remember that the developers are French. It may have made sense in French, and gotten screwed up in translation. For instance, in graphics options, VBL is v-synch. But, for the life of me, I have no clue what the letters VBL stand for, and how they mean v-synch. But it is v-synch, as confirmed by staff here. So, I just chalk it up to translation, myself.

VBL is short for "Vertical BLank", as in "Vertical Blank Synchronization".

While on that topic, would anyone be able to tell me what VBL does?
