Replace the current israel-cool with this image.

This concept image could also be refined and doesn't have to be submitted as is, if it really is needed, I can also erase the remnant of the blue star of david and just have the red triangle with the fire with the (also religiously significant blue bars so we are going to be called antisemites anyway no matter what).

note: If someone has a better, higher quality rendition of this image (and it's done in a libre image manipulation tool catgirl-hiss) then feel free to post it in the comments including if it's without the red downwards triangle since that should also be considered.

Also the padding on this image is wild (sorry GNU wilbur), it should most likely be resized to the proper dimensions when it goes through.

EDIT:

zionist-despair hamas-base free-palestine and others are all great emojis, but this one of indigenous Hawaiian Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole is deeply offensive to his legacy and is a mistake to even be included.

If this isn't accepted, IZ should still be removed from :israel:cool: (maybe even just renamed to something better like :stay-mad-iz:)

IZ should no longer be tied to the genocidal entity.

I'm in agreement. I missed the first struggle session, but I assume it didn't get into the fact that (at least according to NATOpedia), the star was first adopted as a Zionist symbol and then as a symbol for Judaism generally (not the other way around). Also, we should dispel the false notion that the star is a religious symbol. My understanding is that it may have appeared from time to time in Jewish texts and Jewish ornamentation, but was never considered a sacred symbol in Judaism (ironically meaning you can put it on the floor, throw it in the regular garbage, burn it, etc. unlike, for example, texts containing the name of god).

A workshop for the memes of production.

Submit new emoji here.

A good submission is:

  1. Visually clear at a small size (120 pixel width) [This does not mean upload the small image, this means upload the source image or full size cutout but test prior.]
  2. Have a transparent background to the greatest degree possible. This online tool can remove many backgrounds.
  3. Display a clear emotion or purpose
  4. If including text, should be properly sized to be readable
  5. "Evergreen" and not something that will be irrelevant after the next news cycle
  6. Formatted in PNG, GIF, or SVG to make our file optimization cycles easier. If svg initially, send svg in a seperately hosted link to WhyEssEff. Same with gif, as we render them as mp4 IIRC.
  7. Have proposed title as the title of the post, nothing more, nothing less.
  8. Post body should include a suggested category and keywords.
  9. Max height of 3 times the width.

Rules:

  1. No reactionary or reactionary-adjacent expressions. The purpose of an image is what it expresses. Some clear examples for this rule:
    • Allowed: Broken fasces, burning stars-and-bars, rotated Mussolini
    • Disallowed: Body-shaming, Pepes, gay-shaming the enemy (e.g. those pictures of Putin and Trump that libs love to post), certain hateful wojaks (even if recontextualized)
    • If you think you have touched on a grey area, see rule 7 for how to litigate this.
  2. ~~Nothing Vaush-related is allowed~~
    • To be honest, I broke this rule, so it's pretty much moot. Just run it by me first in DMs or matrix. Vaush is a bit of a dead horse, so to speak, so they're still generally discouraged. The qualification for a viable emote referencing his existence is more a matter of execution -- @WhyEssEff
  3. No desecration of religious imagery.
    • This rule does not extend to the subordinate representations of religious symbolism present within the flags and/or iconography of nations, political parties, or militant groups.
  4. Nothing sexually explicit or overtly horny is allowed
    • :hentai-free:
  5. No sectarianism in submissions. Pro-tendency content is fine, but we will not accept content degrading specific tendencies.
  6. No gore, no SA, no sui-bait. Nothing that could reasonably trigger a comrade.
  7. If you think you're touching on a grey area with a submission, message @whyesseff:matrix.org to clear it before you post.
    • DISCLAIMER: Clearing does not necessarily mean that I'll add it, just that it's alright to submit and the rules will not be the barrier to its addition -- @WhyEssEff
  8. No content that breaks the Hexbear Code Of Conduct.
