Alternatively, a good chunk of my twitter feed would call this the bottom emoji, without attempting to give it a pronunciation. I don't think any particular pronunciation has consensus, but various groups of people imbue it different meanings.

This tool canonically has no pronunciation and any attempt to give it one is non-canon. It is a child of the Internet.

      When do you think the Internet was set up?

        2006, I think. Or _maybe_ the early part of 2007, I can't remember exactly. Didn't really get popular until 2014 though.

You're not wrong, at least based on the demographics I've seen. But I bet if you said "pwease emoji" or "bottom emoji", much of the same group would probably get it. Though maybe "pwease" would this and the fingers.

  I reckon a bottom saying «pwease» would also get their point across.

as in gay bottom? first i've heard of that (as a gay internet person)

  Think “sexually submissive,” who you’re attracted to is an orthogonal thing.

    I thought it was bottom as in "⊥". But that is orthogonal too.

  At least among Gen-Z, it's less an indicator of sexual orientation, and more so one's sexual position. I am friends with a (hetero) couple where the male is the bottom. She pegs him because that what they like. He is not attracted to men, but also does not enjoy being sexually dominant.

Yeah, I always read this as "bottom emoji" in my internal monologue, and that is how I search for it if I need to copy & paste it on a laptop or desktop lol.
