Im Gefühlsextremismus
(In the middle of emotional extremism)
Newspaper | Die Zeit
Date | 10.5.2017
Language | German
Country | Germany
Topic Tags | cyberbullying, pornography, privacy, sexting, social media, threat
Summary | Social media have messed with our sense of privacy. Celebrities can now address their fans from a seemingly private realm of self-orchestrated social media presence and regular people can become famous very quickly when they embarrass themselves enough on social media. Additionally, one can be made famous on social media by cyberbullies and previous partners by sharing "revenge porn" (nudes shared during a romantic relationship) after a breakup. The general tenor on all social media sites entails schadenfreude (rejoicing over other people's misfortune) - whether it be directed towards celebrities' faux-pas or normal people.

Am I using this emoji right, or did I accidentally just sext someone?

Topic Tags | emojis, misunderstanding, sexting
Summary | The Daily Mail released a list of emojis with double meanings. Some seemingly innocent emojis might in fact have another X-rated meaning. For instance, the mailbox emoji can mean "sex". You can use any emoji to talk about sex, but some are being used more than others. For example, the eggplant emoji is now widely accepted as a way to represent a penis. Most emojis can have a double meaning; they can be interpreted at face value or mean something completely different.

Sexting: A language our children must never learn
Newspaper | Daily Telegraph

Country | UK
Topic Tags | abbreviations, childhood, sexting, technology-free, threat, youth
Summary | Youths are using abbreviations to keep their parents out of the loop like LMIRL (let's meet in real life). The police have published a list of these to help parents monitor their children. It is sad that children and teenagers have such low self-esteem that they do anything to receive validation from their digital peers. This is not just youth culture or rap music's fault but rather the parent's fault. They are always busy and spend too much time on their smartphone rather than gracing their children with face-to-face attention and smartphone-free activities.

Gaymoji: A New Language for That Search
Newspaper | The New York Times

Language | English
Country | U.S.
Topic Tags | diversity, emojis, research/study, sexting
Summary | The dating app Grindr caters to gay men and is now adding specific emojis - called Gaymojis - to their app. They have noticed that 20% of the messages sent on their platform contain emojis so they are providing emojis specific to the gay dating experience such as a peach with a phone (= bootycall) or an eggplant with a ruler (= well endowed). One linguist says that emojis may take some pressure off of the content of the conversation. Instead of thinking of something to say, emojis just signal that 'I am here and I am interested'.

KNUTSCH!
(SNOG!)

Language | German
Country | Germany
Topic Tags | sexting
Summary | Sometimes, emojis are not enough so now a "kissenger" has been invented. It is a device one can kiss, that saves and sends the specific movements and vibrations to a receiver. So far there are only a few prototypes but the masses of people in long-distance relationships should keep the demand high.
