Can We Talk About How Creepy The Hug Emoji Is?

    More like the "coming to strangle you in your sleep" emoji.

    Apple recently added some new emojis to its arsenal. If you've updated to iOS 9.1, you probably have used them already.

    One of them is this SUPER CREEPTASTIC smiley face with jazz hands attached to its chinless face.

    Did you know that this is supposed to be a "hugging face"????

    I mean... it looks more like a Making Jazz Hands Before I Strangle You In Your Sleep emoji.

    People are smart and have acknowledged this utter terror Apple is trying to foist on us.

    Apple made the hug emoji look really creepy.

    This is one creepy hug emoji fck 🤗

    🤗 That emoji just screams creepy "where my hug at?" to me.

    🤗 someone told me this was a hug emoji and all this time I thought it was jazz hands.

    @EricaJoy - That emoji just looks creepy to me. The hands-out part doesn't look right for a hug.

    @mmsuperflyjr @mashabletech Oh wait, that's supposed to be hugging face? I'm all for a hug emoji but does it have to be so creepy?

    @nicgunsuk 🤗 have a weird creepy hugging emoji because I can't hug you in person

    Some people don't even realize there IS a hug emoji, because the current one looks more like a murderer.

    why isn't there a hugging emoji yet? i'm pretty fed up explaining to people that the little chick is a hug. 😑

    Why would they not have a hug emoji though? #whywhywhy

    BOYCOTT THE "HUG" EMOJI, AMERICA. KEEP THE WORLD SAFE.
