Character AI seems to have stirred the pot with its latest sticker drop. As the title says, it’s a pregnant man emoji popping up in users’ feeds, featuring a cartoonish guy with orange hair, a blue long-sleeve shirt, and his hand gently cradling a prominent belly. The sticker comes with the cheeky caption “9 months later…,” which has only fueled the fire as people experiment with it in their role-plays.
The rollout appears tied to a special summer pack, with notifications urging users to “claim” the new sticker while it’s “only available for today” to build their exclusive c.ai collection. Screenshots shared online show a sleek popup for the emoji itself, complete with a “Done” button, and another teaser in a purple silhouette style announcing the drop. It’s clear the app is leaning into seasonal vibes, but this particular addition has caught everyone off guard.
At first, many assumed it was some elaborate prank, maybe even a rogue addition slipped in by a sleep-deprived developer with a sense of humor. But as more users located the emoji in their sticker trays and began sending it into group chats and roleplay threads, the realization dawned — this was real, official, and 100% intentional. A chorus of “What?!” posts filled the r/CharacterAI subreddit, immortalizing first reactions that ranged from disbelief to belly laughs.
Very quickly, people got creative. The sticker found instant celebrity status as users claim they already use the emoji reaction of the pregnant man on platforms like Discord. Plus, some people are even trying to use it when interacting with bots.
“Honestly, it’s so fuc***g chaotic and hilarious. I love it purely for that,” wrote one Redditor. Even those who felt a flicker of discomfort couldn’t help but join in on the playful chaos, with memes and edits popping up every few minutes.
Not everyone was laughing, though. Some posts vented frustration, like one calling it the “fuc***g pregnant man sticker” and questioning why it was even necessary, with replies ranging from shocked emojis to users admitting they were “shi***ng cement” in disbelief. A few pointed out the irony — the app’s filters often block certain role-plays involving pregnancy, yet here was this sticker egging it on. Others tied it to “mpreg,” short for male pregnancy, a niche in fan fiction where guys carry babies, and cheered it as a win for that crowd. “Lets goo,” one excited post read, celebrating the sticker’s arrival.
In the end, it’s just a sticker, and I highly doubt that introducing it came at the cost of fixing existing bugs. So you can ignore it or use it, there’s no pressure! Feel free to share your thoughts on the new sticker in the comments below.
