Everyone be using the eggplant emoji as a penis euphemism, I have two thoughts on this ...

  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?

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 people’s ability to convey the concept of gun in communication.

It’s 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.
