The different skin color emoji thing is the perfect encapsulation of Social Studies Warrior madness inspired political correctness.
It's a yellow face, you bunch of fragile fucks. It's not white. Hell, if anything the Asians should've been offended.
Legit I think it was more a representation thing. People wanted emojis that would represent their skin color.
Like, how is that a "perfect encapsulation of [...] madness", the adults weren't claiming the yellow emoji was racist or anything. Just that a lack of representation was wrong.
How does it hurt you that they included normal skin colors in emojis?
Also, Cream - shut the fuck up and leave. You're mentally ill. Seek help.
Y'all would think sincerity and caring = mentally ill lmao
Because now we have people losing their shit over (white) people sending emojis that don't match their skin color, calling it insensitive at best and insinuating or accusing them of being racist at worst.
I mean, a very small percentage of people are gunna lose their shit over lots of things so that's the first thing you gotta get over.
More importantly though, it is a conversation that should take place. Like, you have to actively choose to send a black emoji, you're making some kind of statement there. Nobody is suggesting that we make it illegal for white people to send black emojis, but racial insensitivity doesn't just manifest in real life, it can manifest on the internet too. There's nothing extreme about that Code Switch post, I think it's a measured look at this kind of thing.
I mean, y'all already talked to death about this, I just wanted to point out that emoji representation isn't madness. Being incensed over people talking about emoji representation is a little extreme though.
