I prefer the Simpsons skin tone.
Or the jaundiced from severe alcoholism skin tone
I'll set that as default
They should've just stuck with the yellow emojis. It was quite universal and inclusive in my opinion
I do.
But the skin tone thingy matters to some people and I fully support that, too.
Honestly, I don't. Because the yellow one was universal. There was no "I'm not represented" because nobody was represented. NOW, we have something for people to bitch about based on a perceived group. Now we're gonna get "Yellow is for Asians" and other racist shit. I'm fully of the mindset that online, you should be genderless, colorless, classless (I'm already that), etc.
Once you start pushing those things into your communication online, it's just another reason for people to discriminate. We need less reasons to discriminate online, not more.
Honestly Internet Rule #30 wasn't so much claiming the internet was a 'male only' space, so much as a warning that people injecting their gender, or color into a conversation were looking to use that as leverage somehow.
As much as possible the lack of these classifications allows more level-headed conversations to happen that wouldn't in the real world, due to hormones, silly social expectations, and other dumb shit.
Agreed. I think it's a bit similar thing with pronouns in my native language. We don't have gender specific ones at all. I'd use the same pronoun for male, female, trans, non-bin or what ever. You can literally identify as anything and you're already included. It would be insane to start coming up with new ones because that would just further divide people.
My guy is angry because emojis have skin tones. Bruh.
