Good evening, brothers, welcome to Xiao Lei Bibi.
Friends who read Xiao Lei’s article yesterday should know that recently WeChat has released an epic new feature .
In terms of practicality, it is unique, refreshing and ad-free, and it beats up all third-party mini programs.
In terms of fun, it is also the only one.
With the blessing of this new function, many brothers were able to use their artistic creation talents to stand up in the battle map world.
It is the recently popular [WeChat Homemade Emoticon Pack] function.

Considering that some friends may be too lazy to read last night's long article, Xiao Lei will briefly introduce it first.
The so-called creative expression actually allows users to freely display and create a unique emoticon package through the combination of various wonderful materials.
Before, our emoticon package source channels were just two types.
One type is to steal pictures directly . When you see a fun expression from a friend, you added it to your own picture-fighting arsenal without saying a word.

The second type is simpler. Some bloggers and subscription accounts will make several sets of emoticons.
Users who like it click "Add" and can get a whole set of emoticons into their pockets, eliminating the trouble of adding one by one.

But how to say it, third-party emoticon packages always have a little bit of meaning in emotional expression.
So, emoticon package, only self-made can satisfy yourself to the greatest extent.
Those rebellious , those sarcastic sensations can be released through a pair of skillful hands.
is also very simple to make. WeChat has built a lot of materials in advance and uses to design in a modular way.
We just need to add the required face shape, eyes, eyebrows and body materials like the puzzle.
Anyway, WeChat has done a very simple step in making emoticons. What kind of emoticon package can be created by
depends on the wonderful creativity of 1.3 billion users.
Xiao Lei is relatively rigid in artistic creation and can't make any powerful emoticons.
If you are like me, you can go to Weibo and Xiaohongshu and you will definitely have outrageous (perverted) creativity that you don’t think much.
For example, this little yellow face expression with sweat + 6 is not used much in the material.
But in terms of sarcastic emotional expression, it has reached the top.

There is also a cute style, just like this bear cake picture. There is no bow in the
material, so the author uses two mouths to form a bow.

There is also an emoticon package that comes with strong poison gas, and you can feel suffocation through the screen. There is no "butt" in the
material, so the author uses two round faces to splice one that is almost the same.
and a few pieces of cakes, the image of shit everywhere instantly emerged on the screen.
The above example also fully demonstrates that limited materials cannot limit the infinite creativity of more than one billion users.
Is this a good thing?
At first, Xiao Lei thought that this was definitely the top priority. After all, it was already a rare thing for WeChat to be willing to open DIY permissions.
And in order to limit the size of emoticons, WeChat does not allow itself to add materials,
But with more and more homemade emoticons on the Internet, Xiao Lei found that this creative emoticon package is going to be broken...
Do you remember the "comment area emoticon package" function that was launched in the past?
The lucky ones who were measured in grayscale at that time were basically addicted to the comment section of the Moments circle and could not extricate themselves.
However, this function was only launched for a few days and died directly during the internal testing period.
The reason is very simple. Too many people have turned pornographic in the comment section of the Moments circle, and the review is too difficult. The official can only remove this function.

Now, the "WeChat Creative Expression" that has just been launched for a few days. In Xiao Lei's view, there is also a risk of being shut down.
This is not a fooling person...
I have seen many WeChat creative emoticons made by netizens online, funny and abstract are naturally the mainstream.

However, the high customization brought by DIY still allows some creators to make emoticons with relatively large scale.
For example, the following picture of "constipation poop" is shown below.
The little yellow face looked ferocious. After using all his strength, a pile of poop appeared in front of the screen. The most nauseating part of the expression
is undoubtedly the creator who made "py" vividly.

There are many similar expressions. Compared with the above expressions, this picture also uses text to assist in expression.
Due to the strong insulting nature of text, Xiao Lei had to copy and release it.

In addition to being strong insulting and full of disgusting emoticons, there is also a combination gameplay that is more common.
Everyone probably guessed that wherever there is DIY creation, there is astringency.
material itself has no problem, it is all emoji or small yellow faces.
But after strange combinations, they often become inappropriate expressions for children, and even Bi Ge shook his head when he saw it.

Some emoticon packages are not so perverted, they look like butts, but the scale is not too large.
However, netizens with some art basics can usually bring the material to the extreme.
From artistic works to extremely dirty expressions, you can quickly create them.

This expression is more perverted. A small yellow face emoticon package is composed into an indescribable scene.
and the text description at the bottom... This is not an emoticon package, it is obviously an 18+ work that is not suitable for children.
similar homemade expressions can be found on mainstream social platforms.
says it is disgusting, but in fact it is just a serious arrangement and combination of materials. It is said that it is not disgusting, and it looks like a picture that suggests that it is full of regulations.

There is a brother who even carries forward the spirit of sharing and publishes all the materials needed to make large-scale expressions.
Xiao Lei could not have imagined that netizens could combine the most serious materials with 18-forbidden appearances.

In addition to being astringent and nauseous, DIY emoticons also have many ways to play and express meanings.
The key lies in how netizens perform.
However, seeing this expression DIY function being damaged, Xiao Lei felt mixed feelings.
On the one hand, it is because of the "creative emoticon package" function, which perfectly meets the needs of WeChat users for diversified expressions.
WeChat is already relatively restrained, and it is rare to launch full expression DIY functions, which brings real fun to users.
But on the other hand, now "creative emoticon packages" are developing in an out-of-control direction, and more and more astringent and disgusting expressions are circulating on the Internet.

This bad habit completely violates the original intention of making homemade expressions...
Originally, sending some interesting emoticons to relieve the cold situation when chatting.
Now netizens send a large-scale emoticon package to girls, and they get a little bit of sexual harassment...
As for how to solve this problem, Xiao Lei combined his years of experience in surfing the Internet with and surfing , he came up with several practical methods.
The first method is very simple, restricting users from freely arranging and combining emoticons.
Now the customization of homemade expressions is very high, which is equivalent to randomly combining them based on existing materials on a whiteboard.
This gives some netizens room to play porn. No matter how limited the material is, it cannot stop them from splicing out arthross pictures.
Of course, the price of doing this is to make the homemade emoticons lose their fun.
Use a fixed template to set expressions, it is better to use a well-made emoticon package on the Internet.
The second method is more user-friendly, that is, the official will increase the review efforts and set a threshold before generating expressions.
The current creative emoticon package is indeed too free, and all swearing and obscene words can be generated.
So, if you can add review thresholds based on adding text, I believe that emoticon packages will be much more standardized.
Specific implementation can refer to the "vocabulary blocking" function of games such as Honor of Kings. You can also get a small black room package if you violate the rules many times.

As for the emoticon materials being combined into astringent pictures, this situation can actually be solved through AI review.
However, this requires a large number of samples to be fed in the early stage. When the AI is trained and mature, the cost of manual review will be even lower.
No matter what, Xiao Lei doesn’t want the homemade emoticon function to be removed from the shelves.
The lowest cost method to prevent it may be to restrict the review of emoticon generation. I hope WeChat can speed up the pace and follow up.
