The Red Flag Emoji Meme Explained

We're not exactly sure how this trend exploded in a matter of days, but according to CNET the use of this particular emoji increased 455% over the past week. The concept of the trend is pretty simple. People post a statement that when said in conversation, raises a "red flag" as to why this is someone you don't or need in your life based on that opinion. They then follow it-up with a bunch of  🚩 emojis.

Since the most common use of the term "red flags" relates back to dating, it's no surprise that initially that's what many of the Tweets were about but as the emoji started trending the opinions morphed into all kinds of things.
