So true. Also, the gendered versions of every profession too. They had to go back and add the "non-binary" gray versions after all that, hahaha. Maybe if they just started with those first, it would've been fine!

I mean, they are symbols. If they're meant to represent something, it should be generic and universal; not personalized.

I don't know.

I quite enjoyed seeing all the young fat white men and transwomen doing their black fist emojis last summer. ✊🏿

Especially when they were really getting high on the wokeness and did a whole row. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

    The smiley face is yellow. Clear asian bias. /s

    A bit like the gay community having a rainbow to show included a whole spectrum of different people then some idiots adding ugly brown and black stripes because apparently only while people can be the whole rainbow, everyone else is just their skin colour.

    Sort by controversial for maximum fun, you know the drill.

    true, only yellow color is good enough, it's cartoonish btw and not offending any races.
