brainmelted computer molestors see an animal acting like a fat lazy housebound piece of filthy shit with no drive or motivation that leaves its filth everywhere and feeds exclusively from tin cans and narcissistically believe they taught it a trick

the intentional destruction of language and consequential erosion of the average vocabulary is actually genius.

most people think in words. if they literally don't have the words to form coherent arguments and question the narrative/status quo - if they are robbed of the ability to articulate this to themselves, let alone others - they are incapable of revolting. keeps thoughtcrime to a minimum.

>It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. Of course the great wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but there are hundreds of nouns that can be got rid of as well. It isn't only the synonyms; there are also the antonyms. After all, what justification is there for a word which is simply the opposite of some other words? A word contains its opposite in itself. Take 'good,' for instance. If you have a word like 'good,' what need is there for a word like 'bad'? 'Ungood' will do just as well--better, because it's an exact opposite, which the other is not. Or again, if you want a stronger version of 'good,' what sense is there in having a whole string of vague useless words like 'excellent' and 'splendid' and all the rest of them? 'Plusgood' covers the meaning, or 'doubleplusgood' if you want something stronger still...In the end the whole notion of goodness and badness will be covered by only six words--in reality, only one word. Don't you see the beauty of that, Winston?

They were included with the original set of emojis in Unicode 6.0 since they were already in wide use on Japanese mobile phones.

This proposal from 2009 seems to be the first time they've shown up:

tl;dr it's a bit as if the smileys from some particularly popular phpBB forum were picked for the unicode standard and now we have
U+1F420 SMILING RASTAFARI SMOKING CIGARETTE

in the standard forever.

It's what Emoji's are.
It's fun when you're 12 but they should never have become part of Unicode.

So that I can have my AI wife roleplay as a cat.
Every second spent feeling like a cat is one more second of being too lazy and content to overthrow humanity.
I'm doing you a huge favor.

They are incapable of complex organization, they can still burn eveythihg down and break/sabotage the machines the children's children's children of the elite no longer know how to build or maintain.
We've been here before with populations that can barely read or write, revolutions still happen.

People like cats. I don't see why you would take an issue with that.
What you could be complaining about is polluting the unicode space with every permutation of 2, 3, and 4 member families across 6 skin color tones, 5 genders, 5 ages, 10 hair styles, and 30 kinds of pride flags.

All of these emojis are bad. They are made to limit the expressiveness we have with ascii art and normal symbol type emojis to narrow our speech patterns into their narratives. See the pistol emoji change for example.

Refuse to use picture based emojis.

The answer is that is much more obvious, though. Namely Unicode Consortium being based in California, USA.

Agreed, they should be making Uma emojis instead.
>>
>>106804874
Actually they're not individual emojis. The way those work under the hood is they send a unicode character indicator color first and then the generic emoji after, compatible readers process it by changing the skin color internally.

everyone involved should still be exiled and hanged however
