Those comments are pretty decent for HN. The last one unsurprisingly appears to have been voted down already though.

As a whitey-white almost see-through person, do I then deliberately choose the palest skin tone, or do I leave it at the default yellow? I feel like deliberately choosing the pale skin tone signals something that I don't want to signal. People with darker skin can choose the skin tones they feel represent them best and get representation (of sorts), which rules. But by choosing the pale option, I would unintentionally lump myself in with the "proud to be White" jerkbags. I leave it at the default, because I don't feel like any other choice would be appropriate. You could even consider it a secret test, ie. if you choose the pale skin tone, people know to be skeptical of your opinions on racism. E: In reality, I wish we would have just kept using the super basic character-based smileys. KozmoNaut fucked around with this message at 14:23 on May 5, 2021 |

Tootsie is BACK, in pog form! treeman79 12 hours ago [–] Had to quit a company last year due to bigotry. Constant bashing of white men on company calls. Exceptions if you were openly non straight. They also loved talking about how inclusive they were. Constant mocking of customer base, who was mostly traditional white people. I figure out quick I was hired only because they were desperate for someone with experience. Which sadly meant hiring an undesirable. At some point if I really need a job I may need to put on a dress. DocTomoe 0 minutes ago [–] At what point does a mock become acceptable? Even today there are companies, especially in the tech startup scene, which actively discriminate against "cisgender white males". It is extremely likely that even today, people put on the mask of the currently favoured sexual identity to land a job. Not to mock trans people, just to get ahead in life.

hahaha oh my god, the basecamp thread is incredible JPKab 12 hours ago [–] No, it's not. Where do you think this ideology and hypersensitivity originated? > edoceo 11 hours ago [–] > I'm curious, was it academia? I mean, is there an origin story? I don't even know what terms search. >>bthazos 10 hours ago [–] >>Probably. The historical origins are beyond me, but anecdotally I thought the 1994 movie PCU must've dealt a mortal blow to the political correctness movement because I stopped hearing about it and no one around me treated it as a real thing. In hindsight, the resurgence of mom jeans in the last decade should have planted seeds of worry in many a gen-xer.

Just look for "sexual marketplace" and similar terms, or do the incels ever figure out that they, too, can get casual sex by getting a haircut and wearing clean clothes? and downgrading their standards just a little bit to "normal looking human woman" instead of whatever cgi movie star poster they think they're owed? i guess not or they wouldn't be incels huh.

They think they deserve sex as some sort of basic human right, even if they don't realize the implications of that. It would literally be pity sex and not even meet their own demands for smoking hot anime manic pixie dream girl virgin sex goddesses.

xtal posted:I'm with them there, there shouldn't be an explicit skin tone in emojis, that's weird The problem is that "yellow" doesn't unambiguously mean "no possible human skin tone", it pretty much means "white person". See The Simpsons, and Lego people before that. If all emojis had been pale green or pale blue from day one this would have been less of a thing, maybe.

the worst punishment you could give an incel would be a girlfriend. an actual live person with their own thoughts and needs. it'd be hell for em.bob dobbs is dead posted:incels incel cuz they open their mouths and then women run away for excellent reasons, not because they look like poo poo. altho they often look like poo poo often it doesn't even take a word incels mistake this as "females have already decided i'm a loser before even talking to me, it's not fair" but it's more like sensing danger.

If all emojis had been pale green or pale blue from day one this would have been less of a thing, maybe. yeah, and that is a real problem. as a solution multiple skintone emoji also has serious problems though, where lack of representation gets made overt when only paleish or yellow emoji gets used in some circumstances (e.g. media), or other skin tones only show up in extremely performantive ways. which might not be worse, but it is actually real hard to tell. either way that can of worms is fully open, so we'll see. it helps little to imagine going back in time to push for emoji being really cartoony and with a really unrepresentative color scheme.

if you are caucasian is it better to deliberately select the light-skinned emojis, or leave them yellow?

i forget who it was but somebody also mentioned why it's weird that "white pride" is an automatic 100% turbo-racist grouping when other groupings aren't. the thing is that the grouping of people into "asian" or "black" is also the result of racism that reduces people from vastly different walks of life into those coarse buckets, whereas white people were able to think of themselves as italian, german, french, etc. etc.. White pride is unique because its a construct of white supremacists to counteract the work that these other groups (that white society defined) are doing to get equality/equity.

FamDav posted:why do you think these questions have different answers? because going out of your way to identify yourself as white carries some icky implications in american society. it shouldn't be that way, of course; white shouldn't be the societal "normal" skin color, so there shouldn't be anything weird about identifying yourself as such. but as noted above, "i'm black and i'm proud" and "i'm white and i'm proud" do not carry remotely equivalent connotations. basically i'm asking "do white supremacists intentionally select the white skinned emojis"

I use the default yellow because I dgaf. The fact that idgaf probably has something to do with me being a white dude the US - I may very well feel differently if I had a different skin tone and life experiences if you wanted to use the white emoji for some reason that would probably be fine as long as you weren't being an rear end in a top hat

The skin color emoji stuff sucks because there aren't enough options. There should have been another option with a breakout to RGB.

eh, i think it is a pretty sound and reality-grounded kind of question to ask what the symbols you use to communicate actually mean, or at least how they are perceived. yeah you can just refrain from using them at all, but even then it is at minimum worth knowing why you're doing so.
