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

@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

@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 @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.

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.

@lorentz in what hypothetical scenario could it have helped in any way to have skin colors for emojis?

@Lensflare It wouldn't have, this is just plain a shit idea. What I'm trying to say is that if a change, any change, actually has a positive impact, however small, that would overrule convenience, and if it has a negative impact, convenience isn't necessary to defeeat it.

As far as I can see, this change mostly just gave people an opportunity to wear black face for racist jokes in the company chat without getting fired.

@Lensflare you're just jealous because there is no german skin emoji. Everytime I saw a naked german their colors looks like this:

@antigermanist you are absolutely right!

=>

@Lensflare just go have some solar or take a week in majorque or something

I bet if you look up in the spam you can find a nice UV salon in baden-baden or something

@antigermanist the owners of the spam are currently being "investigated" by a squad of black dudes with white underwear.

And spam ads have the opposite effect on me. If I ever wanted to buy anything from a company or use their services before, then after seeing their spam, I won’t do it anymore.

@Lensflare I went all the way to Wuppenthal to get my dry cleaning

People say this app is dead but then threads blow up like this

@AlgoRythm trolls contribute a lot to it :)

@AlgoRythm Nearly everyone who is still on DR has shared their opinion on this topic. :')

We have same train of tought for somany matters!

I always default to simpson color but not to be neutral, but to be ignorant on purpose - especially on the matters that divide us as a humanity.

In reality, if you're POS you're POS regardless of you skin color, what you have between your legs or which is your position in a society.

If you're decent person. You could be an purple alligator as long as i am concerned...

Yellow is default and as neutral as it can be. The other skin tones just make it more confusing and annoying. Unless you need them for some piece of art yellow is superior: Convention over configuration.

@hjk101 also this. I support your way of thinking!
