    Ah yes, the left, famously known for liking and using super secret underground symbols.

    I really did not get "backlash" against that except for the right wing channels I am in. Of course those did use most of the emojis before and continue using them, while joking that they aren't right wing, while inviting people to right extremist events (like so right wing that the speakers were sentenced to prison for their actions).

    “Since when has the clown emoji been far-right extremist? Just ban all the words we use to criticize the woke,” columnist Anabel Schunke wrote. “Thank about it. RIGHT WING EXTREMIST. So as if you beat up foreigners and deny the Holocaust.”

    Yeah dude, criticizing people for being woke is totally a normal thing to worry about that definitely arose organically in Germany and has nothing to do with American right wing extremism. Totally innocent and legitimate.
