Yeah, this seems more plausible to me. False memories and mass delusions are absolutely real, but if this is one, I'd like to know how it started and why it is so specific.

E.g. no one seems to be misremembering a sea cucumber emoji or anglerfish emoji - but there are other alleged emojis such as swordfish or bandit/bank robber, where people have the same reaction:

It would be interesting to see if LLM behavior is also similar. E.g. if you asked about an anglerfish emoji, would they straight-up tell you it doesn't exist, but for swordfish would start to spiral?
