wow! They're making nb emojis now, cool https://octodon.social/media/6kBcWydf3krDcVSB5Rc
@tuturto me neither, I'm pretty surprised
@Siphonay That’s pretty cool indeed! (but I think the iOS emoji are too detailed and kinda scary)
@Hiro as most iOS emojis are https://octodon.social/media/D_coy2Rp7PXa4Y_19nk
@Hiro They had to replace their pistol emoji with a water gun because in their art style, it was too realist https://emojipedia.org/pistol/
But it raises another problem: since they're the only ones who did that, the meaning of the emoji varies greatly depending on the platform.
A better solution would just have been to remove this emoji from the unicode standard imo
@Siphonay That's cool. Is it that "child" and "adult" are now the base emoji, with male and female as modifiers (like "Simpsons" is the default skin tone)? Or are they just additional? I'd love to see all the occupation/activity people be nb and take gender ZWCs as well.
@gcupc I don't know! I hope it's the case
@Siphonay i wouldn't say specifically nb as much as just something that you'd tag ambigious_gender
@tinybarks Hm they're named gender neutral, that's non binary right?
@Siphonay @tinybarks the third gender of the binary
@rey @tinybarks hm okay then :(
@Siphonay @tinybarks @rey you're okay then
@CobaltVelvet @rey @tinybarks y-you too
@Siphonay if you take it as someone's gender, yes, but i think it's more like just "let's make the attributes of this face a bit female but a bit male so you can't come to a conclusion"
@tinybarks hm that's a bit how I feel like too
@Siphonay 🤦 the windows one looks like an ape
@MightyPork does it?
@Siphonay to me
maybe its the ears that are too high idk
@Siphonay
Why are the iOS all one solid color?
@angryjello idk ask Apple
@Siphonay but no redhead? :(
@Siphonay that's pretty cool. I hadn't heard of this before.
