over time this might affect our collective consciousness in regards to the purpose & function of the eggplant; and
can we please just get a straightforward penis emoji already?? Half the human population has a penis attached to their bodies anyway, why are we still so prude about incorporating actual penises into mainstream vernacular & daily life?

I know this is a cultural thing, but it still baffles me sometimes. In countries where censoring any (even non-sexual) nudity for children is a thing, are people pretending that children don’t have genitalia? Why would children be confused about seeing genitals, or “not know what it means”? It’s not like they only grow in at puberty, we’re born with all our parts attached.
