Get rid of the Playboy Bunny emoji put on the iPhone
The issue
Creating an emoji for the Playboy Bunny icon is telling the world that pornography is a normal part of our society and therefore it's ok for our girls and women to be objectified as sex objects even when communicating via their phone. This ridiculous notion that girls and women can only be seen as sex toys capable of not much else needs to stop, but Apple having promoting this on a product which has sold around 75 millions units in just 4 months in the USA alone won't help this cause. Of those 75 million iPhone users, fifty per cent are teenagers. So now teenage girls are seeing that women can have the option of being a pornographic figure and boys and men are given yet again another opportunity to degrade girls and women, seeing them as only being good for sexual conquests. How about Apple creates emojis where women are dressed as police officers or doctors or (shock horror!) just wear some decent clothing.
