A 'Pregnant Man' Emoji Is Coming So Prepare Yourselves for the Gay Jokes
Conservatives are fighting over transgender rights while the gays are prepping their sex jokes...
New emojis are on the way from Emojipedia and one in particular is already stirring up controversy before its release.
Along with multi-racial holding hands, gender-neutral royalty, and heart-shaped fingers, the emoji in question depicts a pregnant person with male-presenting options.
The "pregnant man" has already pissed off conservatives.
\u201cThey actually did it. They\u2019re making a pregnant man emoji. We have gone from \u201cbeing inclusive\u201d to all out insanity.\u201d— Brendon Leslie (@Brendon Leslie) 1626361448
While there's a lot of fighting in conservative circles about men giving birth and transgender rights, it's easy to see how the emoji will be widely used by cisgender men as a joke punchline.
None— Josh - It's that guy! (@Josh - It's that guy!) 1626372410
Straight men might joke about the Chipotle they had for lunch or whatever, but you can already imagine the obvious sex jokes the gays are going to use it for...
Breeding. We're talking about breeding here. While we encourage safe sex practices that include condom usage and PrEP, it's easy to see gays using this emoji to discuss getting f***** ** with some guy's kids and/or wanting to have their babies.
It's already begun before the emoji has even dropped:
\u201ci already know cis gays are gonna go wild with the pregnant man emoji pls \ud83d\udc80\u201d— \ud83c\udf3c dan \ud83c\udf3c (@\ud83c\udf3c dan \ud83c\udf3c) 1626346225
None— Bad Bitch, Illegal! (@Bad Bitch, Illegal!) 1626364798
The new emojis haven't been officially approved but if they get enough votes, Emojipedia will release them as soon as September. You can vote here.
