I feel for those who genuinely liked using emdashes in their writing

  Em dashes are not the problem, nobody cares about their use. Shoddy and melodramatic writing that doesn’t even make sense is the problem.

    The point is that nowadays people will see anything with emdashes and assume it is slop even if it's hand written

      Certainly has changed my writing style. Now I just vastly overuse commas in inappropriate ways!
