Fuck Teddy.

[–] triple-verbosity@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Get over it Teddy, the world contains things that may upset you.

[–] gelftheelf@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is indeed called "nerd face" for the unicode corsortium:

Apple isn't the only one with the teeth in front:

I think you’d have better luck just asking them to buy you new frames, Teddy.

[–] ToddBradley@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Teddy, I've got some news. Nerds run the world. Embrace your inner nerd. Let your geek flag fly!

[–] BlakesonHouser@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No they don’t? Sociopathic, outgoing, a-type over-achievers typically run the world.

[–] GetPsyched67@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's a Steve woz Steve jobs type of thing.

[–] bigkev640@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm upset it has as much hair as I do. And sad, I'm very sad.

9to5mac wyd why is this a story??

[–] giant_shitting_ass@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

bro though he could fool us with a picture of himself

[–] Thiezing@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's not nerd, it's "smiling face with glasses".

[–] DoctorDbx@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Teddy your parents have let you down.

[–] eggsaladsandwichism@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sorry Teddy, you’re gonna have to learn that everything is not about you

[–] opium43@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hate myself for needing to point out the difference between "everything is not about you" and "not everything is about you." But here we are.

10yo already a karen

[–] xMETRIIK@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I got a feeling the mom is the one doing this just using little Jimmy for attention.

[–] southpalito@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That's my guess... parents pushing this instead of telling their kids to stop identifying with an emoji.

[–] dickey1331@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] bat29@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

this is why we need bullies

[–] cerebud@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

God, fucking Reddit, hoping kids get physically and mentally abused

🤓 <- Teddy

[–] TableGamer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This reminds of a couple people I know who don’t think The Big Band Theory is funny. You might mistake as characters from the show. 🤓

[–] BirdBruce@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Big Bang Theory isn’t funny though… 🤔

[–] LordCinnabon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

One of the youngest r/iamthemaincharacter I’ve seen

[–] Yoshi_87@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck his parents for letting him do this. He's just a kid but the parents should know better.

[–] NichoIasJamaalChubb@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Go cry to your parents about getting some contacts you fucking nerd.

[–] cdhermann@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

When I was a kid I would have said that Apple made two emoji based on me. This one and the egg plant.

[–] superm0bile@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I personally think it’s great that he learns a lesson like this at his age rather than in 20 years like some folks.

[–] tienphotographer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

this is exactly why all the kids keep sending you this emoji teddy.

[–] BirdBruce@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Get a grip, Teddy.

[–] nemesit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Its not called nerd face on apple systems though

[–] dpaanlka@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I really hope this doesn’t go anywhere. This is ridiculous.

[–] twfilms@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

“They’re making people think we’re nerds and it’s absolutely horrible,” Teddy said to the BBC about the glasses emoji.

The irony is that only a fucking nerd would care about this.

Sorry, Teddy. If the shoe fits, etc.

[–] elijahdotyea@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Teddy’s parents need to get him new glasses for his self esteem

[–] misc2342@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think it's OK if Apple buys him a new pair of glasses, that look somewhat different.

[–] misc2342@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Teddy should look up Wikipedia for "Streisand effect".

[–] dandan312@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

“Teddy was inspired to start his petition by one of his teachers, Lisa.”

Oh, so Lisa HATES this little dweeb and knew exactly what would happen.

[–] mredofcourse@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The kid is just confused. He's 10. Give him a break on this. He's thinking the emoji that best represents him, the only one with glasses, shouldn't be an image he thinks is negative. However, the yellow face emoji set isn't supposed to represent identities as opposed to emotion. The Unicode Nerd Face is supposed to be nerdy. Making a yellow face emoji with glasses wouldn't express any emotion.

There are person emojis but those tend to be roles, expressions, activities or really generic. I suppose these could be opened to more identities to include glasses, punk, goth, pierced, scared, dimples, etc... but Apple already addressed this with Memojis.

[–] General-Gap-5643@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I am surprised he isn't upset that people with glasses also are bald and have bright yellow skin.

[–] Radiofled@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Motherfucker needs to sack up.

[–] jaquan123ism@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

bro really got a entire article for a litteral umm actually

[–] ayyyyyyyyyyyyyboi@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I find some of the negative comments targeted at the kid really concerning. We all said stupid shit at that age. The only difference is that now kids have access to social media at really early ages.

[–] StatePsychological60@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cram it, nerdlinger!
