I thought the whole point of emojis being yellow in the beginning is to eliminate the hassle of making one for every skin tone.

And then some assholes got offended by it and demand the exact opposite.

Person 1 - "We want equal rights and protections for all people, fair wages, and the right to live healthy and happy without the threat of state sanctioned violence"

Capitalism - "Sorry, best I can do is performative gestures with no real world impact."

Person 2 - "These got dam libs ruined my emojis!"
