| I'm more disappointed that "Dumpster Fire" hasn't made the grade four times. |

| ▲ | jowea 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Would controversial emojis even get widespread support? Look at what happened to gun emoji. | | |
| ▲ | account42 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Which is really the root problem with emojis: they're a top down definition of what concepts you are allowed to communicate. | | |
| ▲ | squigz 2 days ago | parent [-] | | If you're only allowed to communicate in emojis, I guess? Other than that I'm not sure what bearing emojis have on what I'm allowed to talk about. |

| ▲ | throw0101d 3 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | "Dumpster fire" is a idiomatic phrase in English/US, so may not be universal enough. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumpster_fire | | |
| ▲ | harwoodr 3 days ago | parent [-] | | I'm not an American... but "bin fire" seems to be a thing too. |

| "Gun", "knife", and a fair number other emoji's are nerfed. Perhaps too much for many HNers. But not nearly enough for anyone who's had a stalker. |
| |
| ▲ | shmeeed 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Do you assume that a stalker would be deterred by the lack of a knife emoji? I can't seem to follow the logic here. | |
| ▲ | account42 3 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Ah yes, because outlawing wrongspeak prevents people from communicating those concepts. People like you are giant eggplant emojis. | | |
| ▲ | bell-cot 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Preventing people from "communicating those concepts" is your strawman, not the goal of the Unicode org. Regardless of whatever lip service they might give to "This little thing, plus Santa's naughty list, will magically make all the children nice" fantasies. They are a big org, doing normal big org things, and trying to dodge the Bad PR spotlight. But glancing at your karma - are you contributing to a platform (HN) which outlaws wrongspeak, when you should start truly living your values? | | |
