the X engineer responsible for the change ... stated that this design is "not the final design (going to make it look more badass)"
incidentally this engineer is a fascist weeb who complains about gay characters in TV shows and bragged about getting trans flags removed from a grocery store by leaving a negative google review
I genuinely support this
I don't have strong feelings either way, the water pistol is a bit silly but this particular decision was made as an anti-woke measure by fascist tech bros who just wanna point the gun emoji at the pride flag again
curiously this chud says the emoji was "returned back into its rightful form: an m1911" when it never was an M1911 in the first place, it used to be a revolver
1911 is the chuddiest of pistols lol
yeah of course they went with the epic US imperialism gun instead of the more comical wild west revolver that it was before
(yeah ok wild west guns are also US imperialism guns but still)
haha yeah who in their right mind would want to own one of those 😰
It doesn't even look like a M1911, it looks like a HK45
Struggle session: what gun should it be?
Yeah, making it a water gun was some over sensitive shit. And it’s just completely out of spec as Unicode intends for it to be a hand gun.
Apple just decided they didn’t like that emoji and substituted their own. Apparently they later pressured Unicode not to add a rifle emoji.
Rifle emoji would have gone crazy lmao
Thread over whether the rifle emoji should be an AR or AK locked down by moderators after 69,420 pages of heated debate
The design is finalized as a mosin
Tiktok displays it as a QBZ-95 just so the American right freaks out about CHYNAAA
I remember when every company changed the emotes to the water gun. Everyone made fun of them.
