I rate different platforms versions of the Golfer emoji (THREAD)
Apple: 3 stars
stance is a bit weird looking, i don't play golf but it looks a bit off, which detracts from the emotion of superiority the emoji is meant to convey
Google: 5 stars
he's looking off into the distance, you know he hit that ball FAR. and his right leg looks a little gay
Samsung: 1 star
it doesn't really look like he's swinging it at all. the movement is essential, the Golfer emoji should be dynamic
Microsoft: 5 stars
when this bad boy gets resized to standard text size the dynamic motion is amazing. so much more energy than the other versions of the emoji
WhatsApp: 2.5 stars
has the same problems as Apple's version, but a little bit worse
Twitter: 4 stars
nothing overly remarkable, but it's a solid emoji. the option to choose between shorts and pants is nice if you ignore that it's supposed to indicate gender
Facebook: 0 stars
i really don't know why they rendered his ass. he's arching his back too. don't get me wrong, i love when men do that as much as the next guy, but this is a Golfer emoji. and he's holding the club behind his head for some reason. Facebook has some odd priorities
JoyPixels: 2.5 stars
the club looks weirdly long, and when you zoom out it kind of looks like he's dancing with a cane, which is a nice concept for an emoji, so i'm giving an additional half a star. but this is the Golfer emoji, not the cabaret emoji
OpenMoji: 1 star
i don't know what OpenMoji is, but the Golfer does not have any of his energy in their style
emojidex: 1 star
the golf club is so thin. this is a problem when zoomed out. the golf club is the focus
LG: 3 stars
doesn't really convey the traditional effect of the Golfer emoji, but it does look like he's about to maul you with that club, which is nice. why's he wearing socks with sandals
that's all, thanks for reading
