> It really isn't when it comes to arguments ... not suited for objective discussion Emoji is used for more than arguing or "objective discussion"! Emojis are used for friendship, for flirting, for jokes, for sexting, for gossiping, for nattering. "I'm a woman who likes to dance", "I am white", "oh but I'm an old man" — these are all valid statements people say to one another; adding this capability allows emoji to be used to convey these meanings. If your argument is "people shouldn't conduct electronic discussion in these sorts of ways, when using emoji they should only have arguments over objective facts" that's ... well, it's a stance, but you're at odds with how billions of people communicate electronically. This is why I use terms like "obvious" and "strange".
