I don't see how they're comparable other than being out of mode and obnoxious. The first case can actually be vocalized and understood as stupid sounding words. The second is literally just using different symbols to write out words but doing so in a needlessly esoteric way. One treats what is said as sound and the other treats what is said as text.

tl:dr No

I doorshock cats who talk like that whenever I get the chance. Not to crit, but enough to be petty.

people have been roleplaying characters with accents for a long time, as obnoxious as it is a speech inflection or talking as thought you're retarded is fair game. It doesn't compare to emoticons and typed netspeak.

The best part is I've yet to have a human order me to not do it. Even if the cat in question is a member of security. They hate them as much as they hate lizards.

It gives me as much as an excuse to bully people as the people who would roleplay a stutterslut in medbay did.

OwO / UwU will get you bwoinked because that’s not even trying, it’s literally just an emoticon you’re putting in chat.
Don’t do this. Talking like a retarded cat person is fine otherwise, though.
