Add modern (gen-z) emojis

-Rodri

ONLY APPROPRIATE EMOJIS WOULD BE ADDED, SOME THE EMOJIS LISTED BELOW MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST THO

normal English at the bottom of the page

Honestly, this is about all emojis in general, iykyk

So, I think scratch fr has to add gen z emojis on forums and comments cuh, like fr tho.

This would give us gen z more language fr fr cuh

I would be a common w for scratch, no salty l's here cuh fr.

Ya'll should fr add like the

Moai
Skull
Crying/Laughing
Etc. my people know, iykyk

So no cap cuh fr these and all the other op emojis

Everyone would have more drip in their emojis, no cap fr cuh tho fr fr

So ya scratch, bet, if you would add this, this would pass the vibe check. (If not, I'm dead)

This suggestion has been living rent-free in my head for ages

So please scratch fr, add this.

Hi, I think Scratch should add some modern emojis to scratch.

The English language is changing due to gen z, and emojis is a big part of it, it has changed the way we text, and even how we talk.

This would make it easier for people of gen z to communicate easier in scratch. Which is really good.

Scratch would add emojis like:
Moai
Skull
Crying/Laughing
Fire
Upside-down smile
etc.

This would be really cool if scratch added it to keep up with the generation.

Please, I've been thinking about this suggestion for a long time and I've finally typed it.

What do you think?

Could you possibly state some reasons as to why these emojis could be used/make a few mockups so we can all really see what you mean?

Also, just mentioning that if you take a look at the Statistics Page at the bottom of the footer, you'll see that there are a lot of Scratchers who are much older than the target range (Gen-Z). What would they do with these emojis?

Uhh, emojis are used for memes? Not actual communication…

Some emojis are used for things other than memes, though. You could use the smiley face emoji to show that you're not angry at someone, or to show that you're trying to be friendly. The tongue emoji (you know, the one on the forum) could be used to say that you're joking.

Look at my (social media name) group chat, it is very commonly used actually

Right, but what about some examples of when these could be used? In summary, here's my previous post:

A suggestion to add the skull emoji is being discussed here: https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/discuss/topic/610842/

Moai is a dupe.
Skull is a dupe.
Crying laughing already exists.

Upside down smile already exists.

Fire's original, although I never saw anyone use it for any reason.

Neither have I, but I assume it would be used like:

“OMG THIS PROJECT IS SO POPULAR” _emoji_

Of course, my knowledge of emojis is really limited, so I'm not sure of all the possible uses. Maybe the OP has some ideas?

There used to be a topic before that suggested allowing slang onto the website for older users. This suggestion literally suggests the same thing but as emojis (correct me if I’m wrong because I make mistakes).

Doesn't stop it from being a dupe. I think you can report it and ask for it to be reopened.

I'm fairly certain that the topic is not supposed to be closed.
Either it was closed by choice or the ST just decided to for some reason.
Either way, if you don't think that's the dupe topic then find the real one, and we'll let a third opinion decide which one to link to.

ngl this might be a little useless fr fr doesn't make communication any better if you know what i mean
