What does the word "Mojo" has to do with fire to begin with? Is this some new output of meme culture? Do kids today consider the ability to create mojo using stones as the first step towards human civilisation?

Mojo is a word for magic. Meme magic is a thing. Fire emoji is a meme.
That’s my attempt at making the connection.
It also just seems like a fun thing kids do. I don’t even know how to enter an emoji as a file extension so it could be a way to filter out oldsters who don’t know the new ways.

It's also a vulgar reference to the male anatomy in parts of South America. So...bonus?

I guess that explains the eggplant emoji file extension.

I think the fire emoji is part of the name...
Like it's meant to be represented as mojo[fire emoji]...
