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.

    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
