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?

addendum:

I'm sure it's not a surprise that this post was reported. From what I saw, the conversation remained focused on society and anatomy and remained far less graphic than a basic anatomy textbook. Thanks everyone.

It was also reported for not having the whole thought in the title.

Great post.

Adults shouldn't be using emojis, and that's a hill I'm willing to die on

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?
