About to beat off
This emoji is literally everywhere. For all kinds of social media posts, from items sold out, gym achievements, fails, showing love of someone/something. I think its a reach.
Its just a popular emoji where Diana rhymes with Cryana?
TIL you can search by emoji for some reason.
I want the badge but I never give streamers money. I'd have to somehow max out all investments, savings, roth, sold out of gold, etc before I'd give a dime to a streamer.

It's things like this that validates my realization that social media was a mistake.
Imagine being a company and having to worry that people are to use a fucking emoji to imply your employees are pedophiles.
Honest to God, I just want to never bother with the internet sometimes.

Exactly. Holy self report by Lance McDonald. Someone should check his hard drives.
This is bullshit manufactured controversy and it's interesting that the people trying to push this pedo angle about this game are always the ones you'd expect. This is an extremely popular emoji and the fact that the first thing these people think when they see it is pedo shit says a whole lot more about them than the emoji.

The crying
emoji is used when adressing anime lolis among some game communities, usually with some sexual undertones (Blue archive. Its Blue archive).Its dumb, like saying pepe is a nazi symbol because someone somewhere may use it in such context. Just ignore any controversy and move on with your life.

Some people looked at a child in a video game and wanted to have sex with them, so they go online and start blaming Capcom of "pedo bait" because they want her changed so they no longer have sexual feelings towards said child. When that didn't work, they moved on to an emoji being used by pedophiles, which is also interesting because the emote is used billions of times daily in normal situations and these people went straight to the pedo stuff again. Concidence? Nah, these people have fucking kids on the brain.
Keep these people away from your children, basically.

There are some seriously fucked up people out there man. Thanks for the explanation, maybe Pragmata should have a noose emoji as well. Because this is what there fuckers deserve then.

I mean, that's probably rhetorical, a joke. But I linked the KYM page.
Anyone not getting it, check the replies to Capcom's tweet. They understand.

Well that's the stupidest thing I've heard since people where trying to argue the "ok" hand gesture is now an alt right hate symbol

It took me several minutes to understand all the Pragmata vague posting on my X timeline today, lol. What a suspicious projection to have with this particular game .

Why would it be a reference to some ultra-obscure Japanese thing? It's the crying emoji. Seems like a massive reach by the retards on social media again

Saw Lance McDonald comment on this and he's correct and everyone replying to the tweet knows exactly what it references.
It's a 2020 meme called "Uohhhhhhhhh!" and the origin is this tweet by a Japanese guy.
Check the KYM article for the full story. Someone at Capcom screwed up or deserves a raise.
Uohhhhhhhhh! 😭 | Know Your Meme
"Uohhhhhhhhh!" is an onomatopoeia representing an exclamation of excitement. The word is typically associated with loli characters and the loudly crying emknowyourmeme.com

Marketing games is getting weird. Isn't clash of clans like a top 3 game in revenue?

First of all, I doubt Capcom wants this game to be in anyway associated with any kind of fetish.
Second of all, EWW

It gets the clicks, even misspelling a word is a popular marketing stunt nowadays. Sounds stupid, but it drives social media engagement.

is right with the original post. Just take a second to think about it from an outside perspective. It has gotten so bad that dudes are telling other dudes on forums/social media how horny ____ character makes them feel.To me it has always been a bit cringe and weird, because why the hell would I want to know that.
