OnSadEmojis

Context: Emoji / PlatformCapitalism

I made a tweet https://twitter.com/interstar/status/1534909479929712640 :

Is anyone else noticing that it's harder and harder to find emojis that represent genuine sadness?

I'm starting to think that emojis are being "happied up" to make them all fun and no misery. It's all "tears of joy" etc. And no explicit rage or suffering.
