Wokemoji #4 - Double Mastectomy Scars In continuing with the fun theme of affirmational flesh sacrifice, healthy breast removal gets some much needed representation! This disturbing emoji consists of a disembodied torso with sad, ugly scars that linger below the breasts as a result of legalized malpractice. It also vaguely resembles a face with a sorrowful expression by total coincidence and it doubles as such! In this representation, the nipples have been bizarrely removed in a paradoxical attempt to achieve a more masculine appearance, despite the fact that nipples are also a staple feature of a masculine physique. The double mastectomy is a painful and traumatic operation that brings with it a lifetime of physical, societal, and psychological consequences, and yet, some people are still convinced to subject themselves to this horrifying dogmatic indignity. It serves as a testament to the fact that no amount of ritualistic body modification, extreme physical alteration, or expensive elective procedure can fix what's malfunctioning between the eyes, and nothing a person can remove from their mortal coil will ever alter the fundamental truths about who and what they will always exist as.
