Remove Steam emoticons which resemble rude gestures

[Elation]

I thought insulting people isn't allowed. So why are there emoticons (that you can purchase off the Community Market or craft through badges) which resemble rude gestures such as the middle finger? If I use that emoticon to "flip someone off" virtually, for example, can I be reported and banned for it? It's an emoticon on Steam, so it would be kind of weird if I could be banned for it. And if not, then it's weird that there is a way to insult people that is technically within the confines of the rules.

You could say the same for awards that can be given out too. Such as the jester award. In the end I really dont think there is a problem. If you have a bad interaction, just block the user, report them, walk away, whatever. You're online, use the tools at your disposal in the ways you feel they should be used.
