It's a bit prissy.

And she's not on her phone, completely unrealistic depiction.

2017... the year we take to the internet to express disappointment in breastfeeding emojis

🙃

Oh my god the eyes on that second one.

BellyBean · 18/07/2017 20:24

I love the second one. She has eyes that say I dare you to judge me Grin

ChasingHighs · 18/07/2017 20:28

The 2nd one looks like shes holding her boob with some sort of curly nipple

@KonichiwaGoodbye

I'm actually crying with laughter at that response.

CRYING.

Is there some reason we shouldn't notice when things look a bit daft, flickerty?

Smitff · 18/07/2017 20:31

She looks far too well rested, coiffed and serene to be bf a baby who's still being swaddled!

Ridingthegravytrain · 18/07/2017 20:38

That is obviously where Paige from neighbours got her breastfeeding acting tips from!

AlpacasPackOwls · 18/07/2017 20:45

LaArdilla you have summed up my feelings entirely

DontTouchTheMoustache · 18/07/2017 20:49

God some people really will look for anything to moan about.

flickerty · 18/07/2017 21:04

Basket, noticing if something looks a bit daft is normal, absolutely! I just can't imagine feeling "disappointed" with an emoji

BasketOfDeplorables · 18/07/2017 21:11

flickerty I think 'that's a bit disappointing' is sort of a polite way of saying 'what a pile of shit' in many cases.

I think in 2017 it is a bit shit to produce a visual image to symbolise breastfeeding that looks like it's been created to be so discrete that you can't tell what it is, like

BasketOfDeplorables · 18/07/2017 21:12

I have no idea where that 'like' came from. But it makes that sentence kind of jaunty.

HateSummer · 18/07/2017 21:15

😂 the second one looks like she only has one big boob in the middle of her body

BasketOfDeplorables · 18/07/2017 21:20

That's what my baby thought about me. She was about 1 before she realised there were 2 of them.

allaboutthatsass · 19/07/2017 12:18

urgh, enough with the "pro breastfeeding" articles, social media posts, and threads.

Feed your baby how you want, I don't give a fuck either way.

I'm just sick of seeing people's boobs all over my facebook newsfeed and elsewhere on the internet accompanied by all the stupid 'well done' posts. Now there's a fucking emoji too?

We get it, breastfeeding is great, let me find a medal for you. Enough already!

BroomstickOfLove · 19/07/2017 13:19

You really don't sound like someone who doesn't give a fuck either way.

BananaThePoet · 20/07/2017 14:38

It's an emoji not a diagram. So I don't mind it as it is.
