There's already been a discussion about skin colour in #Unicode. When will the discussion on gender stereotypes arise? Example from http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/emoji-candidates.html
U+1F935 MAN IN TUXEDO
• see BRIDE WITH VEIL
»Where is "Man with veil" and "Woman in tuxedo"?» ... GO!

@mmn And when we're done with gender stereotype neutralisation maybe we can take on the binary prejudice.
-
@basspistol Was this a serious question? Because the serious answer is that with the standardisation by Unicode there's no problem with symbol mixup. (as with Webdings/Wingdings/whateverdings)

@basspistol Regarding "can't afford a newer computer-phone" <- if your old computer-phone was open enough to flash an arbitrary operating system I'm sure we wouldn't be having this discussion!
Buying new hardware is, as we both know, not a solution. Getting (not necessarily purchasing) open (at least not locked down) hardware in the first place is the real solution!

@basspistol Or just something that won't keep you in an outdated, insecure firmware just because the upstream producer can't be bothered releasing new versions :P
-
@basspistol Btw, my smilies/emojis are colourless too. It's just Applenuts who think Apple _are_ the Unicode consortium who have complained about skin colour. But those complaints led to shading-data embedded into the unicode, which means everyone suffer the stupidness.

@basspistol soon unicode will incorporate emacs
