Netizens have a lot of feelings about the new “pinching hand” emoji

As if we didn’t need more emojis, Unicode released 230 new ones earlier today. These include a yawning face, emojis for PWDs (blind, deaf, and people in wheelchairs), and more importantly, a flamingo and sloth (FINALLY!). They will be rolled out on Apple and Android phones throughout 2019.

There’s one emoji that’s garnering a lot of feelings from netizens though, and it’s the “pinching hand.” Why are they making a big deal out of it? Well, let us show you what it looks like and you be the judge.

Ideally, the pinching hand can be used to indicate a certain amount or if you want to say that you’re losing your patience. But based on netizen reatcions, it’s going to be used in conversations on penis sizes.

Jokes aside, let’s just hope no one will fight over an this pinching hand emoji. And guys, if you don’t want to receive this because your manhood will be offended, then don’t send unsolicited d*ck pics.
