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:

    Would the black version of the penis emoji be longer than the others? Would it be an erect or a flaccid penis? Why not both? Or better even, a full range of male excitement. The applications are endless!

    (I’m joking of course but it does demonstrate the silly questions you would have to answer if you were to actually implement this)

      I love this kind of thought experiment. Also, as representation is paramount, what would a vulva emoji look like ? there are so many flavours to them

        Where are the tits emojis?

        Are the round or saggy? Big or small? Pointy? Perky? With an upward curve like a ski jump?

        Big aerolas? Small? Symmetrical? Light skin tone? Dark skin tone?

        Options here people!

        WE NEED OPTIONS!

        … On a more serious note, having just the penis added to the emote list would be sexist. Gotta be inclusive.

        Also, the reason this doesn’t happen and probably won’t happen, is that emojis are universal, so everyone gets them… Including small children. I know of a lot of people who would have a problem with that.
