I don't understand how "there's a fricking gun in the system keyboard" => "hard to make apps that are age-rated for small children". It's just a tiny picture of a gun, hidden in a pile of hundreds of emojis at that. Where's the problem?

There’s also the knife, bomb, cigarette, and middle finger emojis. And Apple decided to keep the peach emoji looking like a butt:

It was quite literally leftist virtue signalling. A way for those companies to say "I support gun control".

I support gun control but do not support the censorship in emojis. So I don't know about that.
