Map Emoji of the Month
From MAP Wiki
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.
