What do you do if you can't access your Google One subscription because they've terminated your Google account for posting an emoji in a YouTube live stream, for example?

  A person (people?) got really angry about the eggplant emoji a few years ago: https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/8 https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/8 https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/3xtep0/socjus_user_banned_from_all_of_github_for_use_of/ https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/3xtep0/socj...

    What?? Can anybody explain to me (non American) why a fruit is offensive? And why people who find a fruit offensive are taken seriously?

      It looks like a dick. Especially if you add (water spurt emoji) afterwards.

      Words and symbols sometimes have multiple meanings. Just because it looks like a fruit to you doesn't mean that's the message that was intended to be communicated by the author. I don't support any kind of censorship, but if you can understand why a company might censor sexual harassment, threats of violence, or any other kind of message, it's pretty easy to understand that language/emojis/etc can be re-imagined to convey those types of messages.

    I'd think it would be easier to just s/n// that emoji on all incoming text rather than banning users.
