I’m already creeped out by the fleshtone emojis as they imply that Simpsons primary yellow is a normal colour of human skin.
I thought the whole point of emojis being yellow in the beginning is to eliminate the hassle of making one for every skin tone.
And then some assholes got offended by it and demand the exact opposite.
Person 1 - "We want equal rights and protections for all people, fair wages, and the right to live healthy and happy without the threat of state sanctioned violence"
Capitalism - "Sorry, best I can do is performative gestures with no real world impact."
Person 2 - "These got dam libs ruined my emojis!"
I like the fact that I can use emojis that are in my skin tone.
Yellow is too white.
