over time this might affect our collective consciousness in regards to the purpose & function of the eggplant; and
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?

I love emojis even though I don't use them much. I just think it's really cool that this idea emerged and everyone got on board and now it's almost like a whole universal language - modern hieroglyphics or whatever else you want to call it. Plus they're just kinda fun and sometimes it's easier to convey a reaction with a specific smiley than it is with words. Language, however beautiful and elegant, is still sometimes wanting, you know?
