What??

Can anybody explain to me (non American) why a fruit is offensive? And why people who find a fruit offensive are taken seriously?

Words and symbols sometimes have multiple meanings. Just because it looks like a fruit to you doesn't mean that's the message that was intended to be communicated by the author.

I don't support any kind of censorship, but if you can understand why a company might censor sexual harassment, threats of violence, or any other kind of message, it's pretty easy to understand that language/emojis/etc can be re-imagined to convey those types of messages.

It looks like a dick. Especially if you add (water spurt emoji) afterwards.

I'd think it would be easier to just s/n// that emoji on all incoming text rather than banning users.
