[dUb]

*not Moopy ones, phone ones, out in September

I like the HAPPY MELTY one and the @Peekaboo one

 

[dUb]

WE ALREADY HAVE THE SECOND ONE ALONG ON THE TOP

 

[RJN]

Finally racism is solved with the handshaking emojis

 

[dUb]

Update: second from the right on the top is my new fave

 

[OutSynk]

I like the “I’m shaking you guys” one.

 

[dUb]

Apparently they haven't been APPROVED yet so don't get TOO EXCITED

 

[Lucille]

Do we really need TWO pregnant men, it’s already VERY NICHE.

 

[jivafox]

The smiley melting one is perfect.

 

[Pipo]

The pregnant one....I just have no words.

 

[COB]

the HAPPY MELTY one

*floods*

especially interesting bringing these out when handshaking is as unpopular as it has even been!

 

[funky]

As ever you GIVETH and then TAKETH AWAY

 

[funky]

I don’t get the one with a stitched border

it looks like a cookie

 

[funky]

i also don’t get the hands in the middle left

they look like prawns

 

[Indie]

Oh, i didn't realise it was a pregnant man. I assumed he'd just had a particularly large curry and was now feeling a bit gaseous.

We’ve gone back to shaking hands here mostly and it still weirds me out a bit

 

[big ron]

Can't wait to bust the happy melty guy out when I'm tripping my tits off.

Saulte face was made for sarcasm.

 

[Lucille]

Someone shook my hand yesterday

 

[RJN]

Someone shook my hand yesterday

I always sneak away to use hand sanitizer as soon as I can after

This was very

 

[Diddy]

Which one is the peekaboo one?
I don’t see a hot one with speedos

 

[dmlaw]

Death to anyone who uses the 'hands making a heart' emoji. It's bad enough when people do it in real life.

 

[Diddy]

Really don’t understand the pregnant man ones, is that an actual thing?

 

[Kate]

I don’t get the one with a stitched border

it looks like a cookie

Yes WHAT IS THIS?!

 

[Kate]

Trans men:

 

[Diddy]

Trans men:

what?!
I didn’t know that could happen… still a bit confused tbh

Meanwhile, Microsoft has rolled out the COMEBACK QUEEN:

 

[Dark Carnival]

I can’t with Diddy being problematic!

 

[Dark Carnival]

CANCEL HER

 

[OutSynk]

I can see myself using the pointed finger one.

 

[OutSynk]

You’re a whore! *points finger*

 

[GNL]

There is something unsettling about the x-ray one.

 

[Kate]

what?!

At the risk of cis-splaining... not all trans people have surgery, so a trans man could easily still have a womb and vagina.

ok I learned something today (just been googling it). Hope I don’t need to be cancelled for that

Surely nothing tops for you

 

[dUb]

Surely nothing tops for you

[OutSynk]

Surely nothing tops for you

A “Which emoji do you identify a poster with?” thread sounds lit.

 

[Pipo]

I like the Posh Spice inspired finger-pointing one! *poses with the charisma of a cooking pot*

one of my UK v US findings when I worked a lot in America was the general increase in OCD around touching and embracing. Might have just been a NYC/LA thing, where people tend to be a bit more neurotic generally

It got to the point in our NYC office where I wouldn’t greet with a handshake any more, because I had encountered several people who were like, oh I don’t do that sorry. It was WEIRD at first. But this was years before covid. Clearly they were on to something...
