You Can Now Hashtag Emojis On Instagram, Except The Eggplant
You know why.

In their continual roll-out of new features and quirks for the image-based platform, Instagram have just allowed you to hashtag emojis to make your browsing all the more organised.

However, one glaring omission has been made from the new feature: You can’t search that goddamn eggplant emoji. We all know that sending someone an eggplant emoji hardly ever means that you’re fond of the nutritious vegetable (which is great when braised, by the way) – it’s basically code language for “HERE’S A SLY SUGGESTION ABOUT MY PENIS IN PURPLE VISUAL FORM.”

Consequently, #FREETHEEGGPLANT hashtag has been started with people voicing their outrage at this discrimination. It will still be awhile before #FREETHEEGGPLANT reaches #FREETHENIPPLE’s 270,000 posts – but it’s an equally worthy cause.

Oh yeah, there’s some new filters too.
