This is amusing to read. Language is a beautiful evolving thing. Personally I love seeing how people use it in new ways. New words or ways to add emphasis. Emojis are a interesting way of getting facial expressions across in a minimalst way
I'm of the opposite persuasion. At least with English, there are many ways to express connotations or degrees with word selection. Should emoji be considered along the lines of ebonics? Languages adjust with usage. New technology and knowledge arrives while somethings fade. To me, the cute little characters are a form of laziness.
You said yourself that languages adjust. So why can’t emoji be part of it?
