emoji

A workshop for the memes of production.

Submit new emoji here.

A good submission is:

  1. Visually clear at a small size (120 pixel width) [This does not mean upload the small image, this means upload the source image or full size cutout but test prior.]
  2. Have a transparent background to the greatest degree possible. This online tool can remove many backgrounds.
  3. Display a clear emotion or purpose
  4. If including text, should be properly sized to be readable
  5. "Evergreen" and not something that will be irrelevant after the next news cycle
  6. Formatted in PNG, GIF, or SVG to make our file optimization cycles easier. If svg initially, send svg in a seperately hosted link to WhyEssEff. Same with gif, as we render them as mp4 IIRC.
  7. Have proposed title as the title of the post, nothing more, nothing less.
  8. Post body should include a suggested category and keywords.
  9. Max height of 3 times the width.

Rules:

  1. No reactionary or reactionary-adjacent expressions. The purpose of an image is what it expresses. Some clear examples for this rule:
    • Allowed: Broken fasces, burning stars-and-bars, rotated Mussolini
    • Disallowed: Body-shaming, Pepes, gay-shaming the enemy (e.g. those pictures of Putin and Trump that libs love to post), certain hateful wojaks (even if recontextualized)
    • If you think you have touched on a grey area, see rule 7 for how to litigate this.
  2. ~~Nothing Vaush-related is allowed~~
    • To be honest, I broke this rule, so it's pretty much moot. Just run it by me first in DMs or matrix. Vaush is a bit of a dead horse, so to speak, so they're still generally discouraged. The qualification for a viable emote referencing his existence is more a matter of execution -- @WhyEssEff
  3. No desecration of religious imagery.
    • This rule does not extend to the subordinate representations of religious symbolism present within the flags and/or iconography of nations, political parties, or militant groups.
  4. Nothing sexually explicit or overtly horny is allowed
    • :hentai-free:
  5. No sectarianism in submissions. Pro-tendency content is fine, but we will not accept content degrading specific tendencies.
  6. No gore, no SA, no sui-bait. Nothing that could reasonably trigger a comrade.
  7. If you think you're touching on a grey area with a submission, message @whyesseff:matrix.org to clear it before you post.
    • DISCLAIMER: Clearing does not necessarily mean that I'll add it, just that it's alright to submit and the rules will not be the barrier to its addition -- @WhyEssEff
  8. No content that breaks the Hexbear Code Of Conduct.

I understand your position, I think, and in general I share it. I don't think this emoji matters either for the culture at large or hexbear in specific - whatever the vibe on Epstein is, is set by the bigger world and we online here just pretend we're not dictated by it. The way I see it emoji are just funny little pictures, the meaning of which aren't decided by the pictures themselves, but by the users. We've gone from emoji like punished-bernie and yes being used " unironically ironically" to just ironically. Likewise with emoji like didnt-kill-himself and corporate-art the more the knowledge of who Jeffrey Epstein was and what he did has spread.
It does sadden me that he has basically turned into an aspect of "orange man bad" and beyond that he has become a joke akin to Puff Daddy - who also did heinous shit, but is basically reduced to "diddy party and lol he has a prison boyfriend". It's fucked. My conspiracy/gramsci mind believes that it is the result of a direct effort from the monsters running the world to downplay all this stuff. Just look at how people are celebrating Bill Clinton saying he's willing to testify about Epstein - BRO YOU'RE IN THE FUCKING FILES YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DRAWN AND QUARTERED.
But all that happens around us. It's important to be aware of that happening, but I don't think what I do pushes that "agenda" forwards. How that emoji is used and what it would mean is up to the userbase at large, like with the many I used in another response.

I appreciate the apology and I feel like I should also apologise for treating you with derision and not the respect I know you deserve, because you come at this from a good place. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and thank you for caring and thank you for your apology as well. I am sorry too.

Its kind of crumbling in a way ,the Monstrous Dome , a sinking ship whos artillery is still able to devestae all that come near it , but taking on more and more water while doing so.

We are just horrified by the Skale , but they are horrified as well.. and they where never horrified before .. so thats good.
