    I’m already creeped out by the fleshtone emojis as they imply that Simpsons primary yellow is a normal colour of human skin.

      I thought the whole point of emojis being yellow in the beginning is to eliminate the hassle of making one for every skin tone.

      And then some assholes got offended by it and demand the exact opposite.
