Do you change the skin tone of emojis?

[moonpie89]

Haha I do sometimes. ✌🏾💪🏾👋🏾👊🏾

Yes

No

Don't care

[Guy13]

No. I am sticking with Gold as it avoids the Identity Crisis and the "racism" that the other hands may be experiencing. And truthfully, given all truth is relative, there is less Risk of the Gold hand metamorphosing into a four fingered hand and claiming a like identity to the God created Five-Finger hand. I imagine HR would not have a problem with this.

I do change skin tone of human Emojis, but I have a personality that's technical and analytical according to some people. I know I'm particular.

I'm an Asian with black hair. I make sure that I don't use a skin tone that's too light since I'm not Caucasian, European, etc. but not too dark since I'm not an Indian, African American, African, etc. I use a skin tone that's in between. I feel that it would be inappropriate if I had used a skin tone that's unlike mine.

However, I've seen a Chinese use Emoji with dark skin tone, and she doesn't have dark complexion. I've also seen a guy with lighter skin tone, of mixed ethnic backgrounds, use Emoji with dark skin tone. I don't understand why they do, but I guess maybe that's how they identify themselves, similar to gender identities he, she, they, etc? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t personally because it’s confusing. Sometimes when I try to remain anonymous and I use the yellow emoji skin tone 🟨 simply because I’m too lazy to change it. I don’t change my emoji skin tone unless it’s somebody I know in a zoom or something.

Most ridiculous stuff I've heard. It's like those people who get offended if you use a GIF with someone in it that isn't your race. Not allowing someone to use whatever GIF they want... THAT is racist.

[moonpie89]

Omg it's obviously not serious 🙄

[PhenomenalQueen]

Yes I do this all of the time, I just wish there was a another emoji for the Hispanic & black skin tones.. There’s only one or the other, I’m not as dark as the last option, but I also don’t have brown hair… lol and the other emoji is also a little too dark.. so there’s no in between

[77five]

Its an emoji, not The Sims

[PhenomenalQueen]

Which is why it’s only something I said, it would be nice… move along.

[Red-Blaze]

Never did the netureal yellow or pure white seem like something that keeps it real, completely not related, becouse who cares whats the skin on the net?

[misfittoy]

i didn't assume emojis were racially based im a mixed kid and never thought of yellow emojis as white. and no i do not

[Dana223]

Exactly what I think too. Before skin tones appeared, i never thought of white or black "face". All this PC upgrade stuff just made people invent problems we never had before. Like the pregnant man emoji! 🫃 Who uses this even? https://emojipedia.org/pregnant-man/

[misfittoy]

@Dana223 i just never thought of it to be honest. race? never occurred to me, they are emojis you know? lol

[D_Bone_Steak]

If I change my penis emoji to black... will it look bigger?

[moonpie89]

Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[jennifer_bloom]

I'm neutral about being Chinese, neither proud or ashamed of who I am but I do speak Chinese with my parents at home.

[menina]

Yes, I like to change it. I just don't do it when I have no option. To me it makes no sense to use a emoji that doesn't represent me.

[Zolly99999]

If it's too much work I don't bother.. normally I just use the default color.

If they had purple emoji's I'd use them for sure lol

[Pleaznhim4me]

You pray really hard for it and then the color changes.

[Sour-rose]

That would mean I have to think about it... so no.

[Dazed0N0Confused]

I don't care enough to change the color of the emoji, I'll stick with the Simpsons

[MCheetah]

No. That's stupid and shows Hella insecurity, there.

[Phoenix98]

I always just use the base yellow one and personally don’t care about the whole skin colour emoji thing.

[Jamie05rhs]

They made the original ones yellow on purpose. It's supposed to be a neutral color. The same thing with LEGO people.

But I couldn't care less what colors people use.

[sheenagwapa]

i rarely do i stck to the yellow orange thingy because it's universal

[Chazmatazz269]

Never. Pac Man yellow was perfect. Don’t fix what ain’t broke.

[AllGoodNamesRGone]

I use dark skin toned emojis... when he's literally white., its my way of telling you he's done so many wrong things it's too much 😅🤣

[exitseven]

I suggest that people who do this should get a life.

[Msputiton]

I have a very good life, and will continue to have my emojis rep my skintone.
Thank you very much

[TroyDT]

No, I have more important issues to deal with.

[Snakeyes7]

There's no point. The reason they were yellow is because there is no skin color that is yellow so it can represent any race.

[Allyfax]

You have to other wise you might end up offending yourself
