No Nerd Emoji!

Ich war als Kind auch Opfer von Mobbing wegen meiner Brille. Als Kind ist man als Brillenträger deshalb oft Opfer. Ein Lächeln würde mir bei dem Emoji auch besser gefallen als die vorstehenden Zähne.

Go teddy! Always stand up for what you believe in

An emoji should be cheerful, positive and unsuitable for teasing other people. Good approach by Teddy to criticize and point this out to a company like Apple. Good luck!

I'm signing because I totally agree with Teddy! It's offensive to people who wear glasses.

Teddy, ich hoffe Apple reagiert auf deinen berechtigten Einwand!

I saw a tweet about this and almost every single comment was bullying this kid. Making fun of him. Calling him names. And almost every one of those people leaving those comments are adults. And that is exactly why he wants it changed, and that's why I think it should be changed too.

Nerd is a slur, genius is not. The original nerd emoji is ableist and should get its teeth removed.

Great idea! Totally agree 👍🏻

Maria Demidova (Brussels , 2023-12-01)

I fully agree with Teddy. Not that there should be anything wrong with being a "nerd", the word unfortunately has negative connotations. Genius is a much better label! Good work my guy, hope you are successful!

Being called a nerd makes me upset, I’d prefer to be called a genius like Teddy.

It's insulting for people who wear glasses

Kurt Van Den Abeele (Deinze, 2023-12-01)

We do not want people to feel included and not to feel that everyone with glasses is called a 'nerd'. My class of 30 children believe this is offensive!

Joanna Foley (London, 2023-12-01)

My son has partially sighted and wears classes. He was born with an eye condition which means he has to wear them.
Well done to this wonderful young man making a difference and standing up for himself and others.

I think it is totally insulting to everyone to have a nerd emoji. Whatever it looks like it will offend someone somewhere. I cannot believe in this day and age that there is a nerd emoji.

Because I also weer glasses and I'm not a nerd. I'm proud to wear glasses. (Sorry if my English isn't correct, I speak Dutch).

I have been wearing glasses since I was 7 (I am now 59!) and I agree that people who wear glasses should not be made fun of. Love your new emoji idea!

Lori Bartlett (Wooler, 2023-12-01)

The boy is right.
An emoji must be neutral.
Shouldn't hurt people per se.
It is the user of an emoji who decides what he wants to express.

The child is right about the teeth

Karin Basel (Hamburg, 2023-12-01)

I wear glasses and I have young relatives, 9 and 7 years old that wear glasses, I agree with Teddy people who wear glasses are cool.

Alison Rylands (Durham, 2023-12-01)

I think it's offensive to portray clever children who wear spectacles in this way and leads to bullying in school

Leslie Rowe (St Helens, 2023-12-01)

Je trouve cela honteux de faire ce genre d’emoticones. Je soutiens totalement cet action. J’en porte aussi depuis cette année et j’aurai pas aimé recevoir ce genre d’emoricones.

I agree that emoji like this one is insult for people who wear glasses. I have a son with glasses and he is a cool dude. Just like the guy who made this petition.
