Can we talk about how Samsung's versions of the gay couple emojis clearly depict twincest?

    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    Most of the other emoji sets at least have some variation between the two people, but the Samsung ones are literally copypasted and...you know, the more I think about it, the less I understand why Samsung even made their own emoji.

    Y'know that funny feeling you get when you see some distinctive name used in two different places and you're like "wait, I thought that this was a unique and meaningful name to me, except it's not actually".  And since we can, let's try to ship them.

    edit: actually let's move these to another thread since i wrote a bunch

    embrace the confusion
    Seems to me Samsung makes a large number of comically strange choices with its emoji designs.

    That's rather an understatement, I'd say.

    Further laziness on Samsung's part: The upside-down face is literally just the smiley face rotated 180 degrees—they didn't even bother to make sure the lighting and shadow were in the correct orientation.

    In context it makes it look like that one emoji is concave while all the others are convex.

    That's the rare emoji where Samsung's version is best.

    Well, if you turn yourself upside down and look at someone, their lighting and shadow are still going to be in the same orientation.

    Let's be honest, that's far more thought than Samsung's designers ever put into it.
