New emojis for 2021 were recently announced, with additions related to gender variance and interracial pairings.

Smartphone users will have 217 additional emojis at their fingertips next year, the volunteer-based, emoji-creating Unicode Consortium announced last week. Two hundred emojis that are part of Emoji 13.1 are devoted to new iterations of mixed-race couples, including same-sex pairs. Seven completely new emojis will also be available, including "Heart on Fire," Mending Heart," "Face Exhaling," "Face in Clouds," "Face With Spiral Eyes," "Woman With Beard," and "Person With Beard."

Emoji 13.0 also made inroads with queer inclusion, with Unicode announcing earlier this year that the trans flag and trans symbol were being added; that version is available on Android and rolling out on iOS.

“For trans folk being able to say ‘transgender’ in emoji and to be out and proud and let our allies visibly support us is a huge deal for our community,” trans Google employee Tea Uglow said at the time of the 13.0 announcement, PinkNews reports.

Year flew by during corona

Well we at least have an official Jesus emoji

 

[Fünter]

thank goodness the bearded women/persons have inclusion now, took far too long.

 

[Tasty Tatty]

Nobody uses that much emojis. In my daily life, I only use at most ten regularly. And you'd have to be quite a particularly basic bitch to look representation in fucking emojis.

 

[Shield Breaker]

I was going to ask for us to have the bearded lady one here, since it would be quite useful, but it just looks like a dude with long hair.

 

[Least Concern]

"Realistic" people in emoji (as opposed to just genderless, raceless yellow faces) were a mistake, because now they have to include every combination of race and gender because if someone isn't "represented" in emoji now it's basically the same as being beaten to death in the street with a Tiki torch.

 

[The Last Stand]

She needs to shave. That looks tacky.

 

[Milkis]

You can't bullshit me, that's Dave Grohl.

Emoticons > Emojis

So basically, this is the yearly liberal fart smelling where they pretend that they have actually done something to make a difference.

Nobody uses that much emojis. In my daily life, I only use at most ten regularly. And you'd have to be quite a particularly basic bitch to look representation in fucking emojis.

They were popular enough to make a fucking movie about them. Do not act like there arent a huge number of people that have such a simplified and basic vocabulary that they pretty much mostly use emojis.

Remember when the bearded lady was a one-shot joke on Spaceballs?

Do you understand how many basic bitches occupy this planet

 

[Jolly Copulation]

This is a disaster? Suddenly I feel great about all the first world issues I was stressing out about. Thanks, perspective is the best medicine.

Also, where's MY emoji representation? I feel like I am an attack helicopter born in a frail fleshy body and I need an emoji for my niche or life is just too hard.

 

[Krystal]

Remember when the bearded lady was a one-shot joke on Spaceballs?

As well as stars of many freak shows? Granted some were just men in women's clothing but still pretty popular. Or going film-wise Monty Python Life of Brian where it was men dressed as women dressed as men, complete with beards?

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

Someone once joked that people using emojis is the equivalent to adults reading picture books that were intended for kids in kindergarten.

 

[remiem]

When you go for inclusion but your emoji looks more like jesus.

 

[Darksy DePhil]

>woman with beard
Are we bringing back Freak Circuses in 2021? Boy i can only dream

 

[The Cunting Death]

Of all the spaceballs characters to make an emoji, its the Bearded Lady that gets it first
