Did I miss some subtle shift in the meaning of a period — which used to be the dullest of punctuation marks?

Some consider putting a period at the end of a text message to be bad form. I don’t recall what it’s supposed to say about you if you do it, but it’s something negative. The face on the period in the comic presumably connects to that.
I was thinking it was a variant of “The light at the end of the tunnel” which is sometimes an oncoming train. Same with periods–you know you’re going to run into one at the end of a sentence.
