Hi kranner I didn't mean to offend you. Or misrepresent the culture with a memoji. Sorry. If you feel it's out of order, then I can change it too. But what is more crucial for me is what Sangeeth said. And that is more important to me. By the way, all testimonials are real. 100%

I think that the general idea is that either you're guessing at the appropriate representation of the testifying users, or that they've picked those emoji. If the latter, then all is good! If the former, then it's generally a bad idea to assume that you know something about a person based on their name, or even, really, anything other than their implicit election. (I would certainly be upset if a business to whom I had offered a testimonial used it and misidentified me, even in ways that may seem trivial, especially if they could have just asked me.)

In addition to pronouns, let's include emojis that we feel identify ourselves

Hi renato_casutt, I'm not offended at all and congratulations on launching. I only commented to point out that the turban+name combination makes the comment look inauthentic which may be an issue in the intended use of the comment as social proof.
