Add the moai emoji

I saw a similar post to the skull emoji one, but I'm surprised nobody has asked for a moai emoji yet despite the popularity of it. So, please add one?
Btw it would be useful for 1. memes 2. adding more emojis cuz the website has a limited range of them

something like this:

Is it popular? This is my first time even hearing of its existence. What is it typically used for?

I don’t really see how it would be used. I don’t ever use a moai emoji, so there isn’t really any use in adding this.

I can see only purpose, and that is for Spongebob posts.

Its used for representing moais on easter island, also it's very popular in meme culture.

Does discussion regarding moais on Easter Island really come up often?

How is it used in meme culture? I like to think I'm hip with meme culture, and I don't recall seeing moais in any popular memes, so either these memes are not well known, or I forgor ☠️

It can be used to reference the line from Night at The Museum: “Dum dum, give me gum gum.”

I hate to be a pain, but that page has some inappropriate language and as a whole, I don't think KYM is a good site to share on Scratch because of the topics/language present there. You could share a screenshot, or quote the relevant section maybe?

I understand the image you posted, but that basically says what a moai is and where it comes from. In particular, it does not explain how it is used as a meme, nor does it indicate how widely spread it is.

From what I’ve seen, it’s a completely meaningless emoji that people post in random places.

Perhaps a solution could be that all emojis are supported, and Scratch could have a blacklist for innapropiate emojis. This would add the moai and the skull, and also many more emojis alongside them too.

I agree, it would be nice to represent more of these diverse places

Easter Island is also a popular joke location, so this emoji could be used to discuss Easter Island and continue the joke

As far as my experiences go, people use this emoji as a reaction image to something that is surprising, dumb, or unfunny. My guess is because the statue just seems like it has a straight face.



I don't really have a case as to why this shouldn't be added other than some cases where it's used in a mean circumstance, but basically every emoji could possibly used like that. Maybe it could be an April Fools feature, like _ksllxmfcai_, the triangle eye emoji.
