The ant is doing an extraordinary effort to run on all of its tiptoes so it wouldn't disturb anyone, and you come claiming it's not an ant just because it's polite?

Maybe it wanted to tiptoe around this specific pedant and failed.

I don't think it's pedantry to question why an ant, with an exoskeleton, should be moisturizing.

Where is the second ant emoji? I want to see this not an ant!

I think that's pictured. Looks like the original ant rating is part of a screenshot that also includes the ant emoji. This was then sent to someone else who had a contrary opinion on the ant. This convo was then itself screenshotted and that's what we see now.

Edit: found the source!

Damn, don't let whoever replied see any of these other ant emojis or their peace of mind will be gone for good.
