Everyone be using the eggplant emoji as a penis euphemism, I have two thoughts on this ...
(lemmy.world)
-
over time this might affect our collective consciousness in regards to the purpose & function of the eggplant; and
-
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:
We can't even have a gun or a middle finger emoji. I doubt we're getting a penis one anytime soon.
๐?
Yes, that is the middle finger. https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+1F595
Well there is๐and ๐ซ in UTF 8 at least, so it is kind of there as an emoji.
But as the UTF 8 pistol is shown as a water gun this very much shows why a penis will always be denied.
The gun emoji used to be a real gun, but controversies made Apple change their emoji into a water gun. Other companies followed suit.
Because the way to prevent mass shootings is to remove peopleโs ability to convey the concept of gun in communication.
Itโs a flawless plan with no possible downsides.
Yes, that's exactly what I meant, a gun in UTF 8 had already produced a shitstorm of controversies, a penis (and vagina to complete the set) would most likely break the Internet due to the outrage of puritans and other people with strong opinions.
We donโt have an emoji face for sadistic glee either. For the longest time the only angry face was a devil face.
๐ sadistic glee, see he's got a little mischievous smile there
