Because, you know, its not like I already spend five minutes trying to find the goddamn gun emoji.
>>46828785
Standardized unicode, or proprietary wank?
It's already bad enough that iphone users can detect non-android users, are we going to be some new twitter hashtag about android users being racist for not using the proper colored emojis?
>>46828785
>dat yerrow hand
That's racist, my bottom hand is white not yerrow.
>>46828830
>are we going to be some new twitter hashtag about android users being racist for not using the proper colored emojis?
probably. there's always going to be some *inist who wants some attention by pointing the finger at others. I just realized how emojis are the 2015 equivalent to clipart.
This wouldn't be the case if they just used fucking generic yellow happy faces.
How often does a situation come up in everyday texting where you absolutely must refer to someone's race?
I thought the whole point of emojis/emotes was to convey emotion. I'm 99% sure there have been studies conduced that prove that facial expression/emotion is universal across languages and race
Why is this necessary?
Good thing all races look the same, remember kids, the color of the skin is the ONLY difference!
>no blue eyes
>even on the hitler jugend guy
I don't want to be a conspiritard /pol/ack but they're making it very hard not to believe
>>46828998
You should believe
This is definitely some SJW pc shit they're pulling here
Also, they need to fire the retard who made the hands
>>46828986
So people who identify as everything else but their real gender and race can spam emojis based on their weekly preference instead of actually using them to convey emotion.
Not to mention that those Emojis are inherently inferior since the emotion isn't apparent because they've reduced all the visible conveyors in size.
They look like psychopaths going in for the kill.
why am i not surprised that a bunch of autistic basement-dwelling neckbeards are taking extreme offense to this news?
>>46828785
>using emojis
Also, you hold an emoji and drag to change colors
>>46829026
>>46828986
Beats me man. Probably cooked up by pressure from
all these professional victims on the internet.
>>46829042
just because i don't share your faggot autism doesn't mean i endorse any of that shit, fucking retard.
>>46828785
why does the black haired one have a lighter skin than the blonde one?
also
>asians
>yellow/golden skin
that's actually pretty racist
>>46829060
Don't be so mad http://youtu.be/Tsl7-TJtPew
>>46828785
As a Chinese man, can I complain that the Asian one is too yellow and be taken seriously?
It's actually disturbing. Not because I'm offended, but because it's frankly an unnatural skin color
>>46829083
I guess jaundiced people need representation too.
>>46829083
>Many people complained about the bright yellow skin tone in the new emojis.
>The yellow emoji would be offensive if it was were to represent Asians, but it is not supposed to be viewed as an Asian person.
>The yellow emoji has been a standard hue for icons for years and represents a “generic (nonhuman)” default
I really should read the article before commenting on it next time.
Still, if they wanted generic icons, they really need to be genderless as well. Otherwise everyone will think it's supposed to be Asian no matter what it's 'supposed' to be
>yellow
>implying that's not incredibly racist
>>46829129
it's okay that you can't read. your squinty eyes are too small.
>>46829164
>tfw nearsighted since a young age
I hate irony
None of them have blue eyes. I feel persecuted.
>>46829073
>>46829129
I think the great thing about emoticons (emoji?) is that they were yellow, kinda like lego, is not someone's specific race, is just, someone, what's the point of this?
>>46829192
>no master race emoji
Why even live.
>>46829129
you kidding?
the color looks nothing like a basic yellow smiley also why'd you give a emoji which is obviously meant to represent a human the color of a non human emoji
I'm pretty sure they're just trying to control the damage
>>46829192
yeah you all have had it rough ever since that holocaust of blue-eyed people.
>>46828785
>jaundiced yellow represents "generic human"
Uh in what fucking universe?
>>46829264
You mean the one currently happening?
>>46828998
Blue eyes are a myth, there are no real people with blue eyes
Well as long as all my emojii are cross all platforms its fine.
Here are some of my favorite emojii
>>46829339
>windows 7 can't into emojis
>refuse to switch to 8
>perfectly visible on xubuntu install
Linux wins again.
Sick racist priveleged bastard:
>What? Yellow-faced? Black-faced? What the fuck? Why should I even care?
Not racist not priveleged he-man, 10/10, would bang:
>Oh shiiiet, there are black people and fucking YELLOW ASIAN people you know... FUCKING YELLOW...so we must divide that smiles on racial basis... to unite people on racial basis. So smart. Much tolerance. I dont even judge people by their color of skin. Except that times when I judge people by their color of skin to save them from judging them by their color of skin.
Why do they all have shit coloured eyes?
>>46828785
These icons look far more racist to me than anything.
They also look like they are high as shit on shrooms
Couldnt text-based emotion throughput be left alone in its pacman-like nonracial ways?
>>46828785
>all are brown eyed
What the fuck. Get those feces eyes out of here and give me some blue eyes.
>>46828785
This is like asking for racial issues, because now instead of having some fucking yellow smiles and shit, someone specifically has to make racial icons without being racist about it.
The problem here is that no country is currently nuking the US, with some country wide war and bombs dropping on you people maybe you'd have bigger problems again than race and gender diversity in ERRYTHING.
Soon even your army will have diversity so every platoon only contains one person of each race.
And then you turn into anarchy after Lichtenstein beats you at war.
>>46829786
Oh grow up
>>46828785
>racially diverse emojis
so the black's gun will be a hi-point?
nigger
>spam bomb emoji
>spam turban emoji
>spam ALLAH HUACKBAR
it's the only way.
>>46829851
I'm trying to but the biggest country in the world is being such a fucking stupid child that its affecting me and the rest of the world.
So PLEASE DO GROW UP yourselves.
Wouldn't it make sense for Apple to flatten their emojis? The current ones don't work well with the design of iOS.
What a stupid idea. SJWs really have no idea what they're talking about. A yellow emoticon transcends race because no one has actual yellow skin. Frankly I think they should have just changed them all to green or blue so no one could complain.
>>46828830
>Standardized unicode, or proprietary wank?
this is apple we're talking about, take a wild guess
>>46830359
to be fair, ms doesnt give a fuck about standards either, usually
i hope they make a choose your race thing in the system settings lol
>>46830210
the whole "flat" thing is a clusterfuck. everything has shadows and backdrops, horrible, if you decide on something fucking go all the way
They should just stick with kaoji
(*´ω｀*)(・∀・)(*^_^*)(*´∀｀)(^o^)丿ヽ(^o^)丿ヽ(^。^)ノ
Then we can be color blind no matter what
When did they stop being called emotes and emoticons?
>>46832198
When the iPhone came out.
>>46832198
when did anyone ever call them "emotes"? "emote" is a verb.
>>46832210
So emoji is like a faggot detector. good to know.
This emoji stuff is getting really retarded.
Just for starters there is so much goddamn stuff now that you now spend more time trying to find a fucking emoji that represents something you want to express than to actually write it.
>b-b-b-but anon, an image speaks more than a 1000 words
Ok, A real image would do, not an emoji.
>oh! why we dont have emoji's for every "major" skin color?
ok done
>oh! why do they look the fucking same?
ok done, there you have. racial facial features
>oh! my ethnicity is represented in a stereotypical way
didnt you wanted racial features?
>oh why there are only male/female emojis¡ what about tra........
>oh! how about furries bronies hivemind?
back to the yellow smiley faces, or better yet, emoticons, because you know:
when you try to please everybody, you usually end pleasing no one
>>46832236
>>46832235
>>46832198
Never, but emoji is also entirely valid.
>>46829735
>>46829595
You're worse than SJW you blue eyed freaks.
>>46830310
The thing is the emoticons aren't just yellow, they're white as well. Why do you need to convey your emotions as a generic or a white person but not every other race..?
Just remove the white ones and keep the yellows to keep SJWs happy.
I can't wait to
>>46834232
All I see are numbers in boxes.
>>46828785
why are apple emojis so ugly... ??
>>46828785
>there is only one thumb for each race
>a male thumb
>prepare for tumblr shit storm
>>46834232
Is there a list of all of these somewhere?
>>46828785
I'm a redhead, I feel underrepresented and oppressed.
CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE MACFAG
>whites get two sets of emojis
WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS FUCKING OKAY?
>>46834855
Get a proper font.
>>46830320
Fucking ironic emojii icon use fucking love this shit

why aren't silver colored people being represented here ? fucking racists.
>>46828785
diversity == skin color
i thought we went over this a billion times
why
>>46835232
>>46835284
>>46835362
What does one do to represent a human in an emoji anymore? What is the standard accepted average color of human?
>>46835310
None of them is white.
>no plain white smiley
raciss
>1 shade of asian
>2 shades of Hispanic/nonwhite
>0 shades of white
>3 shades of nigger
is this a privilege scale or something
get one shade for each oppression Olympic event you win?

Why do Asian people have to be yellow skin when some Asian people have even whiter skin than white people?
Check my dubs
>>46835441
what happens when whites think they think for minorities
jesus the china man is near equal to the white in terms of success and intelligence
>>46835441
Because the people who make these things are racist as fuck.
>>46828998
The guy with black hair is actally whiter than the blonde guy.
Smilies were plain yellow circles for this exact reason. Now they're going to have to make hundreds of similes to make everyone happy.
There's no blue eyed one. I feel oppressed. FUCK YOU
>>46828998
blue (as in eyes) is too bright and would stand too much out from the other neutral colors
>>46835544
None of them have green eyes either.
>>46829007
They look like they're all wearing gloves.
>>46835495
>mfw windows phone suggest this emoji instead of "shit".
>>46828785
Is the lightest one a Jew, or a Brit?
I can't tell without teeth or different noses
You can barely even see the mouth on the burnt looking ones. I can't imagine those are going to be used much.
I wonder if SJWs will publish a study about how oppressive white society is because no one uses the dark ones.
