Since @[email protected] has implemented the keyword shortcode emote search, it’s now much easier to see what keywords an emote has. Reply to this thread with the emote you wish to suggest keywords for and the suggested keywords in question, and I’ll try to get around to implementing them if I think they make sense.

    This is probably not the right place for this, but I figured I’d bring it up here first.

    The emoji name for have-to-kill-this-guy is not great. I know that it’s literally dialog from the meme, but it seems… more prone to legal trouble than any of our other emojis. May be prudent to change it. :damn: isn’t yet taken, and is already one of the key words.

    international-community-1 and international-community-2 should also be tagged by “always-the-same-map”

    Have had a hard time pulling up the Garfield meme too of “wonder who that’s for”. Could that be tagged to “wonder-who-that’s-for”?

    I think some emotes should share a keyword depending on country, for example

    MAS wiphala

    this 2 plus the evo one should have bolivia as a keyword

    vuvuzela-flag PSUV

    This 2 plus the maduro and chavez emotes should have venezuela as a keyword

    PCC

    This one plus all the fidel ones should have Cuba.

    Generally I encourage standardisation of keywords as we’ve already seen with their classification in the emoji picker. There can also be silly keywords, but there should also be broad general ones for the emoji.


    “yes” “approval” for all the different thimbs,-up/yes-chads.


    “Bewilderment” “wtf am I reading?” And “what” for all the variations of wtf-am-i-reading and wut


    “Threat” for the emoji that indicate me going to them, emoji like,coming-to-xi-you xibe-check hst-gun


    All animal emoji should have “animal”.


    All pointing should have “point”.


    All esoteric emoji should have “strange name” or just “strange” so you can find it even though the name is fucked.


    All in the style of ooooooooooooooh comfy meow-knife-trans should have “classic emoji”.


    “Terminally online” for emoji like maybe-later-honey what-time-is-it and similar things that require you spend a long time online to understand.


    “Iceberg” for things like black-mold-futures silver-legion


    Emoji like pepe-silvia both-sides smug-aura-mocks-me and paulie-point tony-cheer chrissy-explain should all both have their respective tv-show as a keyword, and just a general keyword that is “TV”.


    There should be a general tag for all the “meme” characters like yes-honey-left soypoint-1 wojak-nooo soypoint-2 chad it could be “rage-comic” (shoutout to the boomers on the site) or “wojack”


    Politicians should have “politician” and then, preferably, their country of influence (IE biden-alert would be “politician, us” and deng-cowboy would be “politician, china”)


    Every emoji I’ve contributed should be tagged with “made by the one true leftist, you should venmo them some cash (you can dm them for info it’s Egon)”
    Unironically though I do think it would be cool if we started tagging emoji with who contributed it - Though of course a lot of them can no longer be remembered, and most of them is just “WhyEssEff” but still, could be cool

    lt-dbyf-dubois is hard to find without ‘‘Harry’’, ‘‘Disco’’ or ‘‘expression’’

    bird-mad could also have ‘‘stare’’ as a keyword

    yes-honey-left i always have trouble finding this one because i think its ‘‘dry’’ instead of withered or flattened for some reason

    kojima should have ‘‘video’’ and ‘‘games’’ as keywords. i don’t know why, it just should.

    the-doohickey could also have ‘‘adventurism’’

    agony agony-shivering agony-turbo agony-acid agony-consuming agony-deep agony-immense agony-limitless and agony-mescaline should probably use ‘‘pain’’ as a keyword

    agony-yehaw this one could have ‘‘cowboy’’ too

    cryptocurrency should have ‘‘Bitcoin’’, ‘‘Shitcoin’’ etc

    biden-point could use ‘‘i did that’’ or ‘‘finger blast’’

    xi-reactionary-spotted should also have ‘‘metal gear rising revengeance’’ because that’d be pretty funny

    took-restraint could use ‘‘unlimited’’ without the rest of the sentence
