Former Porn Star Christy Mack Created An Emoji App Complete With Images Of Domestic Violence

TMZ-  The former porn star who claims she was attacked by her MMA star ex-boyfriend has launched a new line of emojis using images based on the brutal photos of her injuries ... TMZ Sports has learned. 
The woman behind the concept is Christy Mack -- who claims ex-UFC star War Machine beat the crap out of her in 2014 ... nearly killing her in the process. 

Mack says she was recently approached to develop an emoji app and wanted to use the platform to bring attention to victims of domestic violence ... so she created MackMoji. 

"The decision to include a few emojis with a black eye, bruising, and so on is a way of bringing attention through shock value," Mack says.

"I'm willing to risk some people using them in a negative way to get the point across."

"So many are afraid to speak out, often times because they’re scared their partner will see history of their cry for help. This simple emoticon could save a life. I want everyone to know they’re not alone."

MackMoji will be released Thursday with a portion of the proceeds going to the Break the Silence Against Domestic Violence foundation.




I think we can all agree that domestic violence is in dire need of as much attention as possible. Thanks - in large part - to the NFL's long standing failure to acknowledge the frequency in which it takes place amongst athletes, women have been on the ass end of far too much physical abuse and there's not enough that can be done to put an end to it. That's why I admire what former porn star Christy Mack - a victim of the horrific crime in question - is trying to do by bringing attention to it in her emoji app, but just because you admire the thought process behind something doesn't mean you see the logic in it. 

​First of all, I have no idea what demographic a former porn star's emoji app is aimed at, but I would imagine it's mostly men. Men that haven't been victims of domestic abuse and - more importantly - men who have an undying infatuation with videos in which women are bound, gagged, and pilfered with penises. I have never even paid to watch porn. Never mind been so enamored by one of it's participants that I opened my wallet to see computerized representations of her. I don't want to say the guys that will are ripe for a cell, but I will say they probably aren't picketing on behalf of women's rights.  

I understand that she's willing to take the risk of some people using cartoonish images of a battered woman to joke about the severity of domestic abuse, but what exactly is the reward? She could just as easily donate all the profits to 'Break The Silence Against Domestic Abuse' without including her animated injuries as an option. It's not that I am made uncomfortable by them. In fact, they are far easier to stomach than the actual injuries they symbolize. I just don't see any scenario where they could possibly be used positively. Is a freshly beaten women going to use her porn star app to fire off a digital black eye to her friends to let them know she's in danger? Is a scared, vulnerable female going to alert the police via a computerized cut lip? The amount of man minutes it took to create those particular emojis undoubtedly outnumbers the amount of times they are going to be used in a way that deters violence against women. The term "shock value" means making something sound or look worse than it is, and these emojis simply don't do spousal abuse any justice whatsoever.
