Some social media critics were not pleased with these progressive emoticons.
The Apple emoji factory ruffled feathers online after churning out a new batch of emoticons for the new iOS 15.4, which includes a graphic of a pregnant man.
The most divisive addition seemed to be three new, gender-bending emojis: a pregnant man, a gender-neutral pregnant person and one bearing a crown. The move is part of the emoji maker’s continued efforts to make digital discourse more inclusive by rolling out nonbinary emoticons, among other smileys.
“Among the 838 new characters in #Unicode14 are 37 new #emoji, along with new emoji sequences, that are expected to show up [on platforms] sometime next year,” Unicode Consortium, the company responsible for creating new emojis, teased on Twitter last September.
