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?

Well a little less then 50%… But yes.

The rest can grow them still. They’re just temporarily internal.

And usually to get there, they’ve seen one.

I always thought incorporating a drawing into legit character encoding is not a good idea.

We got space. Its not like a new language with unique character sets are just gonna pop up any day now. Maybe if we found intelligent aliens.

Unicode has ~150k characters, many of which are not supported by any fonts on most people’s computers. They still have space in the encoding system for another 900k. They have the space.

For comparison, the Basic Multilingual Plane in Unicode (the most “useful” part with most modern languages) only contains 65k characters and ASCII only contains 128 characters.

Just last week I meant to make eggplant parm but got mixed up and next thing you know I was deep throating that sucker. Dinner was ruined.

Feel free to submit a request to the Unicode Consortium in April when they open up again but given vulva/vagina was previously declined I doubt they’ll accept penis www.unicode.org/emoji/emoji-requests.html

Yes you see what I mean! Perfectly understandable mix-up, it’s bound to happen to all of us eventually.

KingJalopy ,

I literally used my penis instead of eggplant. Thanks Internet. Now I have a detachable penis.

betterdeadthanreddit ,

This makes sense if your jalopy is a missile.

clearleaf ,

But now you can leave it at home when you think it’s going to get you in trouble.

KingJalopy ,

Or I can rent it out, when I don’t need it.

I vote for having penis, balls, butt, labia and titty emojis.

Where does it end? Anuses (anii?), dildos, ball-gags, pierced v. unpierced, big boobs, small boobs, all in each skin tone…

The eggplant is fine. Maybe a sausage or hotdog would be better in the long run and easier to implement.

Carnelian ,

Unironically all great suggestions

I mean they have a system where you can long press one and get different versions of it, so you could fit a bunch of them together like piercings or grouping dildos with dicks. Because we also need the various skin tones and styles so everyone feels included.

some_designer_dude ,

Big dicks, small dicks… Long-press for various skin tones and degrees of erectness.

stelelor ,

The longer you press, the longer it gets?

LemmyKnowsBest OP ,

Where does it end?

It never ends. We want it ALL!

You should probably transcribe the contents of your addendum photo for the visually impaired so their screen readers can read it

Eggplants come from eggplant sperm. Got it.

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… 🍆

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

LemmyKnowsBest OP , (edited )

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

rar ,

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.
