Is it really?

It doesn’t take over your screen, it’s a 16px square.

Couldn’t have said it better 👍, great point about overlapping holidays as well.

As opposed to being included, some groups would actually end up being excluded cc @anon91821566.

I hate that these threads always tend towards faux outrage on behalf of others. It would be much simpler if people simply spoke on their own behalf and left the feelings of other to others.

What the ACTUAL f\*ck?

Right, I’m going to start tagging Tom into every thread. Now it’s a thing. Tom and I are besties so he’ll take note.

Saying it doesn’t make it true, unfortunately. Perhaps read the post again?

I don’t necessarily disagree with OP. I think it’s petty to start tagging the CEO because of an emoji.

If the OP had made an argument in support of the emoji and tagged the CEO I doubt you’d have made the same childish reply. I don’t agree with tagging the CEO in any post either.

I’m not out to argue with anyone but it goes back to the point I made in my first post on this thread. Any discussion about diversity always causes arguments because people just cant handle it.

I think that if we’re at the point of manufacturing reasons for one another’s posts to suit ourselves then it’s probably time to stop the discussion.
