I'm not a big follower of what's happening in the emoji world, but does a male face palm already exist?
If not, then that's extremely sexist, and it disturbs me greatly. It's also probably racist too, that goes without even saying. Can anybody help me find a safe space? I have been triggered.
You are assuming way too much. I did not see any genitalia on the face palm emoji. Probably just a transgendered face palm. /s
Too bad these haven't been released yet. I could really use that face palm right here
I like the political emoji. For example, the face with a Pinocchio nose (row 1) not only suggests the act of lying, but also that the speaker has a wooden head. The crossed-fingers emoji (row 4) means "I'm lying but immunizing myself" (when held behind the back) as well as "good luck" (when displayed to others). Politicians use both -- simultaneously -- but one would need to be in two places at one time to catch them in the act. The Ms. Clinton emoji slaps her forehead (row 1). From anyone else that would be a belated recognition of making a mistake, but from her it means how could you be so stupid? In another, Ms. Clinton shrugs with her palms raised to the sky (row 2) -- meaning this line of questioning is going nowhere, so you had just as well stop asking. Mr. Trump is depicted as a clown (row 2), 800-pound gorilla (row 1) and pretend-emperor (with crown, bottom row).
I actually find the use of emoji annoying. A smiley face or basic emoji is fine, but when a friend sends me a string of stupid images such hamburgers and cocktail drinks, I secretly want to punch them.
You’re lucky the site doesn’t allow us to actually use Unicode, otherwise I would have replied with just that. I would have even made sentences out of them.

Yeah I agree, some sort of text search or way to hide Emoji that you won't use would be really handy.
