@C1710 My guess is that they associated the 👌 emoji (which has been adopted with the alt-right) to another one of their symbols. The sticker itself did not show the frog doing that gesture. But it is just my guess.
@miramarco But "they" are the creators of that sticker pack. If you create you sticker pack, you can choose the emojis on which to show the stickers. So as an example, I had to choose 😍 as the emoji for the 🥰 sticker in my Blobmoji sticker pack since Telegram doesn't support Emoji 11.
@C1710 I see. But I still think that the biggest issue is not the existence of the sticker per se, but the fact that it bubbled up to #2 in a list of ~90 stickers. And that is not on the sticker creators, I would say.
@miramarco So according to people using the latest (de-facto proprietary) version, there is a setting in the app to disable these suggestions (I didn't know of). But my guess is that they simply go for popularity/usage statistics.
