Apparently, Apple users have already gotten used to the women with the beards, now comes the next step: the pregnant man. This figure with a big belly is to be sent out shortly – the emoji guy looks a bit as if he had just eaten two stilts in the Viennese Schweizerhaus. Apparently, being pregnant cannot be presented quite so clearly.
This emoji is already being hotly debated on the web – and Apple is getting a little more attention with it: Critics say it is “Apple kneeling again before all the radical leftists”. Supporters of this idea say dryly: “Nobody has to send this emoji.”
The designs of the 37 new emojis were already defined by the Unicode Consortium in September of the previous year. The designers’ explanation: “This emoji can be used to represent trans people and also pregnant women with short hair.”
