  1. over time this might affect our collective consciousness in regards to the purpose & function of the eggplant; and

  2. can we please just get a straightforward penis emoji already?? Half the human population has a penis attached to their bodies anyway, why are we still so prude about incorporating actual penises into mainstream vernacular & daily life?

It doesn't help that social media censorship is leading to a more constrained language, if anything. Not only profanities are either censored or shadowbanned by some platform algorithms, there's also general use words for sensitive topics such as suicide, abortion and the like.

Hey as long as we ignore these problems they’ll simply evaporate. Er sorry, my bad. They’ll unexist.
