Good idea, bad proposal writing. I'd bet it would have passed at least the first round with a better proposal.
"We should have an eggplant emoji because people use it as a visual metaphor for penises" would have kept the eggplant emoji out of Unicode. Instead it was pitched as a popular food. So basically, "We should have a guillotine emoji because people want to murder billionaires" doomed this proposal.
