For Apple’s latest iOS 13.2 update, 398 brand new emojis are being added to the mix – and they've all been revealed on Emojipedia.

Gender neutral people and gender neutral occupational emojis now exist alongside a variety of same sex couples with different skin tones. There's emojis that feature wheelchair users, hearing aids and prosthetic limbs. There's a sloth, a flamingo, two new dogs, a whole host of new food items, a pinching hand and an oyster emoji that will no doubt be turned into something waaaaay more suggestive.

After years of discussion, there's now also a 'blood drop' emoji which also doubles as the 'period' emoji.

But of course, no new emoji drop comes without commentary and a light roasting from the internet. Several tweets about certain emojis have now gone viral and some of them have a damn point.

Ice Cube or... Tesseract?

Ladies, we finally have the perfect response for unsolicited dick pics.

the release of this emoji does not scare me whatsoever as my size of my penis is above average. i'd even go as far as to say it's way above average, quite large even. I rarely use the word ginormous, but I think in the context of my male penis, its use is appropriate . quite Huge https://t.co/matrvUk8vf

This is about to become Twitter's favourite argument emoji.

I hate this fucking emoji because you know people are gonna smack you with one of these during an argument thinking they're the unbothered comedian of the year after they just spent the past 30 mins playing the keyboard bongos and rage-crying in your mentions https://t.co/DsXcx1fAXH
