Rainbow infinity emoji for autism/disability acceptance

I often see scratch emojis used this way, as decorations/embellishments to posts that are still clear and understandable without them. The neurodivergency emojis probably wouldn't be any different. Right now, there are only two movements with scratch emojis for them (that I am aware of), adding neurodivergency emojis would be adding another movement to this.

Scratch Emojis don't always have to be this super impactful thing, their main purpose is to be a fun little thing that you can add to your post.

That is a good point that you bring. That could work, for something for fun, as in this case, its not specifically for something unrealistic, and itts theme still fits.

We don't need to add an emoji just because you don't like plain text.

oh, I accidently sent another thing before I saw your post in response-

I don't think adding an emoji that will be used by a handful of people is a good investment

Also worth noting that so far I haven't seen any arguments stating why this would be a bad idea — I've seen claims that it “wouldn't help,” but not any explanations of why it would hurt. I see no harm in adding an emoji like this — so this suggestion definitely has merit.

To be fair Za-Chary brought this up right at the beginning of this topic, he said “We have the binoculars emoji” and implied that nobody uses it but they added it anyway

You have to spend a little bit of time to implement it!!! Waste of time!!!

That is a good point, given examples like the pizza emoji.
however, what was that about a binocular emoji?

Didn’t this same suggestion pop up last year? And the year before that? And sometime earlier this year? And yet it hasn’t been added. I don’t think they want to add this

It may have not been suggested that many times but I know for sure this is a dupe and there have been at least 2 topics suggesting the same thing

If someone wants to go and dig for that dupe, go ahead it was sometime this year if it wasn’t dustbinned

Not only that, but seeing this thread after the emoji would be implemented could give off the idea that ST implements suggestions “just because”, which doesn't help as I see often people screaming that they don't have resources this limited stuff that.

That’s actually a really good point, although not many use the forums regularly, at least compared to how many use scratch in total, so not many people will see it

edit: I feel like topics immediately die once I post :(

That doesn't really have anything to do with this specific suggestion. The same thing could be said about any suggestion in the suggestion forum.

However we have given many reasons as to why this would be a useless feature. If they added it, people would read this and see all the stuff about it being useless and it would go down exactly as basilikos said.

I'm talking about the people that DO use the forums.

Wrong. Many suggestions such as blocks clearly serve a use and the debate is mostly whether their use is needed or not on Scratch. This suggestion, however, is currently being debated on for its actual intended use.

Support, this could actually be a possibility since, according to the Community Guidelines:

Well, adding an emoji doesn't take that long, and this suggestion is about supporting a cause/movement, contrary to say if someone suggested to add like a boat emoji or smth.
