Map Emoji of the Month was an ironic trend among Twitter maps in 2020. It consisted of collectively choosing an emoji by vote and adding it to display names for a month.

Background

This trend was caused by spite. Antis would periodically make claims that maps use a specific emoji to identify each other - most commonly pear (🍐)[1], which is actually used by sex workers and porn artists[2], and clown face (🤡)[3]. Inaccuracy of these claims prompted several map Twitter bloggers to play into it in an absurd fashion. This trend was started and largely organized by Grumpy.

List of emojis

  • January - alien (👽)
  • February - two hearts (💕)
  • March - cherry blossom (🌸)
  • April - bug (🐛)
  • May - crayon (🖍️)
  • August - likely white up-pointing triangle (△)
  • October - likely cat (🐈)
  • November - US flag
