The decision to roll out the new emoji was met with criticism and mockery from many conservatives. Fox News Host Greg Gutfield praised the emoji as a step toward acceptance for men with ‘beer guts.’

“Yes, thank God finally, it’s here. A beer gut emoji has arrived to Apple iPhones with its latest voluntary update,” he wrote.  “This new emoji comes in five different skin tones, so someone with a massive beer gut can be any shade that he, she or they want.”
