The "Emma on wheelchair" emoticon is offensive! Gagadaily, pls remove it!

[Guest vivre sa vie]

Many users here are using the "Emma on wheelchair" emoticon, which I think is very offensive for people with disabilities! Dear Gagadaily admins and users, you define/describe someone by the way he/she can/can't walk? Is it supposed to be even funny or cool?  Lady Gaga is an artist whose art & activism spreads the message for acceptance, diversity and online kindness please remove this offensive option from the emoticon section! Let's avoid politically inorrect jokes in this fanbase and be different by spreading love, artlove and kindness! <3

I've always thought the same... I wonder what Emma herself thinks about it.

or at least rename it

[Bebe 17,048]

I believe Emma chose the emoticon herself

It's not supposed to be mocking in any way.

[RepentingSinner 2,642]

My opinion is people are too sensetive.

[NewUsername 11,344]

I'm pretty sure they first asked Emma about it

[Creyk 17,723]

Come on...it's funny

Not offensive at all, there are ppl who actually use wheelchairs in RL.

Yeah Emma was the one who implemented it in the first place.

Y'all newbies need to chill.

how is this offensive...

[MJHolland 12,725]

Are you implying that people with disabilities can't defend themselves and need you to do it for them?

So problematic. Smh. Bye girl.
