Apple Ruined All the Fun and Made Its Peach Emoji Look Like a Peach and Not a Butt

Apple Ruined Everything Now that Its Peach Emoji Looks Like a Peach and Not a Butt

If it's any consolation, there's now a cucumber emoji.

On Halloween, Apple released the first beta version of iOS 10.2. The only thing that most of us really care about with this update, are the new emojis that come with it.

Apple, though, did something terrible. I would argue that what they did is an attack on the gay community. They’re changing the peach emoji so it no longer looks like a plump cartoon butt. It now looks like an actual peach.

Yes, you read that correctly. No more butt. Just a peach. Like, why are you ruining all the fun, Apple?

When I first heard the news, I immediately smashed my iPhone on the floor in a fit of rage. I was about to head out to the Verizon store to buy an Android, but before I did, decided that I better check all the new emojis Apple is releasing with the iOS update. (You can do so here.) 

Most of the emojis seem pretty boring, to be honest.

However, Apple did give us a few new emojis that I think the gay community will find helpful: a cucumber emoji and a fist emoji (both right-facing fist and left-facing fist, in case you like being double fisted). But actually, like why do we need fists in both directions? Like, is that really necessary?

Apple, we will forgive you for the peach emoji… for now. But on behalf of the LGBTQ community, we would like you to return it to its original, full-figured shape in the next update.
