A post with many thumb up reactions with different skin tones, of course counted separately.

👍6 👍🏻3 👍🏼4 …

Because apparently it matters who is agreeing as a white person and how many agree as persons with a slightly darker skin tone. 🤦‍♂️
This is so fucking dumb.

IDK I get it, you either default to light and offend people or default to dark and offend people who'll be passive aggressive about being offended. I think they should have just stuck with yellow, but then, Chinese.

@atheist I don’t think people think yellow means Chinese. I think they chose yellow to be neutral.

Also for me it‘s not about being offensive. It‘s just completely unnecessary and leads to problems like this one.

Emojis shouldn’t have skin color variants because they are not meant to be avatars, they are meant to convey emotions!

Every time I‘m seeing emojis with a specific skin color, it’s like the person is saying to me

"I agree and I'm white btw."

or

"That makes me laugh and I'm black btw."

Stop telling me your skin color, I don’t care!

@Lensflare shameful. It's because of the wokes and other islamoleftists.

@Lensflare you'tre truely a rebel with a noble cause.

@antigermgerm no I know that it’s lost cause. It won’t change.
I‘m just ranting and showing my frustration.

@Lensflare Does it cause you physical pain?

@antigermgerm no just emotional damage

@Lensflare no, yellow is old timey racist for Chinese

@antigermgerm Of course the lefty thinks it's really important to always be aware of peoples skin color lul

@Lensflare I recall yellow to be Chinese at all. But emoticons are older than this level of racism that decided that they should have skin color. The amount of issues and opertunity it had just to leave them yellow. It was far ahead of its time.

Well, I do think that the skin color is important for if you want to gather input regarding a new swastika design. There are just exceptions and people can be unreasonable.

@12bitfloat I don't use emojis, idiot. you guys think it's so unimportant that you feel the need to whine about it.

@tamagotchi "emoticons are older than this level of racism "

kinda afraid the racism is older than emoticons

btw MS Teams shows different colored thumb emojis, but shows total count instead of segregated, which i guess is a good compromise

Therefor we should only react with :eggplant: 🍆

:)

Imagine whining about little internet pictures and thinking this is an important issue lmao

Go outside of your ivory tower, fuckers, people have real problems.

@antigermgerm imagine being such a massive woke cunt that you disagree with any opinion about showing skin colors being ridiculous.

And imagine being that offended by it that you need to write multiple comments about it instead of doing something actually useful or important.

Pretty pathetic, isn’t it?

@antigermgerm imagine repeating the same opinion again and again because you're bitter nobody cares what you think.

@glowFX just wait until the wokes find a way to add skin color variations to 🍆

@Lensflare I don't disagree, I'm saying I stopped caring about emojis when I started having erections.

Which mean you're literally retarded

@atheist I don't have an opinion about emojis, retard. I'm not 14

Btw, what thumb to use as a gay or lesbian?

@Lensflare what's your next target? Hello kitty? How the wokes ruined the telletubbies?

@antigermgerm you cared enough to come here and whine like a little shit waffle and you still keep whining.
So, if you are so mature, why don’t you finally shut up?

Exactly, let's fight racism by highlighting what makes us different, I guess

@antigermgerm for someone that doesn't have an opinion on this matter, you seem to have contributed to it quite a bit.

🤝🤝🏻🤝🏼🤝🏽🤝🏾🤝🏿 No mixed race handshakes. Is the Unicode consortium promoting segregation?

@lorentz good one!
Shows exactly how stupid this whole endeavor is.

@atheist yeah that's because I'm in need of recreation.

You know, coz I have real problems as opposed to the symbolism of skin color emojis.

You guys are children lmao the antiwokes retards

Imagine this:

> Poll: should we allow white people to use the word "nigga" at our wonderful workplace?

"👍🏻2 👍🏽12 👍🏿81" would for sure read differently than "👍🏻93 👍🏽1 👍🏿1"

@antigermgerm This is the reality of the teletubbies.

I identify as a void. why is that not in there smh

@jestdotty \u200B

In the majority of the posts, you probably don't care about what skin color the thumbs up have. Just group them all and if you click on it to see who reacted, then you should see more details imo.

I rather know that 42 people agree with this statement rather than do the simple math of adding up 4 separate numbers

'Things got a little weird, okay?'

There's also another one:

/* Couldn't find that good one w/ kids saying there was nothing wrong w/ the old flag because color doesn't matter. This'll have to do. */

@Lensflare 🍆 is the color of my dick. You mean other people don't look like that? Weird.

👍

@tamagotchi

If gay the tip of the thumb is brown.

Lesbian is a fist.

@antigermgerm you seem very angry. Have you tried therapy or is talking about your feelings too "woke"?

@YourMom while you do remember me like a former ranger, it seems you're a bit wilder :p

@YourMom @tamagotchi it's a 👅 or 🫵of course for lesbians ;P

@Lensflare I remember this becoming a thing when I was a teen, and it was because yellow is chinese/asian (I agree with you though it's absolutely retarded)

@donkulator Someone's reality:

> And what do you do for living?

> I am Dipsy from teletubbies

> ...left the chat...

@blindXfish

somebody somewhere probably has a fetish for Dipsy. Guessing they probably have bad teeth too.

@atheist I tried. The psychiatrist diagnosed me with spotless psychological health. He called me the first entirely adapted human in the history of mankind.

@antigermanist I'm so worried about your mental health :p but don't worry, for the half of population :p

The people that though emoji-yellow is chinese are the same people that though git-master is a racial slur. But oh well

@Hazarth They must never have seen a chinese person for that colour to remind them of chinese. Like that association can only happen if "chinese have yellow skin" exists as a sentence and not an image in one's head.

My coworkers all use the skintone modifiers for comedic purposes (ironically, they're the perfect device for racist jokes) but I imagine if they're used correctly it really has to be surreal to have racial distribution statistics on every single poll you ask within a team.

"Has anyone used Zustand? Is it a safe bet for the new timesheet portal or should we stick to Redux?"

Congrats, your conversation is now Racially Charged! ⚡

@lorentz personally I was just annoyed by the need to sum up in my head all of the differently colored thumbs up vs all the different thumbs down.

But you and the others have brought up even more valid examples why this is bad.

Lack of orange thumbs up is offensive to tiggers

I did read somewhere that the yellow, default emojis were created this way to avoid this specific discussion. The other reason is that it helped them make the face looks less detailed, less humanlike and decrease the uncanny valley feeling.

I can't recall if these points were made by the original creator or some random guy

@Lensflare I think some social issues, and race in the US seems like such an issue, are important enough that if this actually helped anyone it would justify that bit of inconvenience. Where I live the racial tensions involve Gypsies, Arabs and East-Asians, none of whom match an identifiable emoji skintone, but I certainly think that convenience is a lame argument given the stakes.
