1. over time this might affect our collective consciousness in regards to the purpose & function of the eggplant; and

  2. can we please just get a straightforward penis emoji already?? Half the human population has a penis attached to their bodies anyway, why are we still so prude about incorporating actual penises into mainstream vernacular & daily life?

addendum:

    For nr 2, in America, where most of this stuff comes from, it’s super taboo with sex and anatomy. Violence, theft and other things are ok tho… 🍆

      Seeing how the gun emoji was rebranded into a water gun, I won’t be surprised if same process is attempted anywhere in the world.

      Specifically the Unicode Consortium is the body that adopts new emoji. It is incorporated out of California.

        yeah I remember reading how some guy came up with an idea for an emoji and the long process leading up to being invited to Silicon Valley to present his idea at this consortium and his delight after jumping through all the hoops for his emoji idea to be finally accepted
