  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?

We canโ€™t even have a gun or a middle finger emoji. I doubt weโ€™re getting a penis one anytime soon.

Well there is๐Ÿ–•and ๐Ÿ”ซ 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.

Yes, thatโ€™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.
