PRE-CRIME, JUST LIKE IN THE SCI-FI TREATS

EDIT: reddit-logo is leaking again; apparently even emojis can get pulled over by the Pedantry Police. 🚔 berdly-actually 🚓

    Ah yes being chained by vroom vroom for wrongthonk, just like in my spooky sci-fi treat 1979 by George Foreman.

    Did the cops at least wear cowboy hats and greet them by saying 'audi pardner?

    I know.

    I was just stretching the application of the emoji to summarize bad futuristic outcomes because there isn't a Minority Report related emoji yet.

    I've used it for well over a year.

    You are the very first person to ever complain about how I used it.

    I don't believe it is a very popular story so that might be the reason.

    It was popular enough for me to have known about it before I saw the emoji.

    Why is there even an Emoji for the book? Does it come up that often on hexchat?

    Because the Hexbear creator of emojis decided it'd be fun to add it, and it was almost immediately used to summarize bleak and terrible future outcomes, especially in reference to this moment mocking the tendency of tech billionaires to miss the point of the fiction they consume and make announcements about how they want to make the bad things in such fiction come true:

    I read it years ago. The computer game version had AM voiced by the author himself.

    Edit: oh and what is stormfront?

    That's just a little jab at Reddit itself for its cryptofascist leanings. The emoji that Hexbear marks as "Reddit" uses the text of Reddit's old Stormfront community, which was itself a nazi hangout until it was mod-raided to become a weather forecast community, but the name's meaning persisted.
