Hey black folk of CE, how do you feel when non-POC people use dark skin tone emojis?

Seems like one of those things that shouldn't matter but does matter, or is just one of many micro things

I don't care at all. I rarely even bother changing the color when I use emojis.

On the topic of emojis though, I still find it hilarious that gamefaqs does this to male emojis

I don't care the only time I bring this point up is when people say something like ... what are there no white colleges.

And I am like you are the default. You are like plain chips, everyone else is seen as different or something out of the norm.

Sorry, I just noticed this topic had new replies. If you post an emoji that's specifically male (and not just genderless) gamefaqs changes it to female and puts the male symbol next to it.
