Emoji

Universal symbols (hieroglyphs) for signage is good. Political Correctness defining them makes them dumb If you want to see how stupid we are becoming, you need look no further than Emoji. Not just that comic hieroglyphics are becoming the new way to communicate because "words are hard". It's that the PC-thought police intrude on language in a way that Orwell warned about in 1984: newspeak, truthspeak, double-speak and so on, are all real at Unicode. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2015-10-26

Unicode, I Am A Witness
My company was collaborating on an idea that encouraged kids to share their experiences with bullying through art and stories -- and they wanted to emoji to support an effort to flip it around by targeting those that witnessed bullying to be empowered. I had a small part in their success getting this emoji accepted.

Condom Emoji
2018 - Nora Hamada and Megan Giller applied to the Unicode Consortium for an emoji to represent birth control pills. They thought it was the first "Birth Control" emoji, but a condom company beat them to that, by a few years, and was also rejected. Durex (Condom maker) applied for a condom emoji back in 2015, but it was rejected.

Condom Emoji
Birth Control (Pills or Condoms) are something that Unicode thought was too controversial to allow, so they blocked efforts to add it. Which doesn't stop people from expressing it with Emoji: they just use the umbrella with raindrops (☔) instead.

Facebooks war on Emoji
Emojis mean things... but they can be overloaded and mean many things. Facebook has decided like they can censor people for thought crime using spoken language, they can for iconigraphic (Hieroglyphic language) in ways they don't approve. I get it, in theory... but in practice, the masters of the universe are of course using it wrong and being asshats.

Facebook war on Emoji
Facebooks blocks people for the high crime of using Emoji's wrong. Kids often use eggplant is substitute for penis, peach for butt or girly bits -- so the two used together to imply "horny", and is a violation of terms because it's a solicitation for sex. They seriously enforce this shit. My response:🖕👉🤥📘

Handgun Emoji
When political correctness/the left gets involved, and they can't win arguments on merit/reason, they pervert the language, history, and make things dumber and less clear. Stalin would have been proud and that kind of revisionism. Google, Apple and Microsoft, see nothing wrong with it. Like they did ruining the Gun Emoji.

Handgun Emoji
Emojis mean things. But when political correctness/the left gets involved, they often pervert the language. A tool (gun) was too hostile... so they replaced it with a squirt gun instead (🔫), even though a squirt gun and a real gun have completely different meanings, and a real gun is far more common than a super soaker.

Pregnant Man Emjoi
The far-left has to ruin everything. So they started with making emoji's more racial (adding colors), then they added "Persons", then they continue their devolution to adding Pregnant Men, despite science disagreeing with them. When you're addicted to virtue demonstrations, they have to keep going to absurdity.

Terms
We can't communicate effectively if we don't agree on what words or terms mean. Cultural Marxists decided if they can't win by logic, history and facts, they could at least win by twisting/perverting meanings and distorting discussion into a debate on the pedantic, or if they lose the war of Newspeak/Truthspeak, they can at least call you a racist/sexist/homophobe and go away.

Conclusion

I always imagined creating a pictographic language would involve a lot less politic and far fewer thought crimes. Too much the optimist, I forgot to factor in that SJW's and progressives can ruin (politicize) everything. When your only tool is a hammer (and sickle), everyone looks like they belong in the gulag.
