Ok well then we are missing a metric shit ton of emojis related to me, and now I am HYPER offended that they're not included. For one, I'm tall. I see now emoji which emphasizes my tallness. I lie awake each night in excruciating agony at being under represented. I also have a large amount of cowlicks that make my hair unlike any haircut currently available in emojis, as I need to cut my hair a weird way. I find this egregious that no one has ever thought to include it and now I feel grossly under represented. I would go so far as to call it inhumane. Furthermore, they have no 5-oclock shadow emoji. As a programmer, other 5-oclock shadow humans will understand my SEARING discomfort that this group has not been properly represented. Thankfully I can grow a beard, but I suspect people who can only grow half-beards are also EXTREMELY offended at this fact that there are no "patchy beard" emojis. Apple better get to work...

> and now I am HYPER offended that they're not included Are you actually offended? Or are you just claiming to be offended in order to get your way, while simultaneously complaining that other people claim to be offended to get their way?

  he is making point that such request are silly, like other thing such as beard lady. maybe some chick is wearing a lot of make up, but we are not needing to make "make up" emoji for to represent.

    Why does it affect you? Literally this has zero negative impact on you other than you being incensed over it.

  If you can't detect that this is sarcasm you might need to get your radar defragmented

    Of course it’s sarcasm. Why do you think that’s an excuse?

There actually are people who actually are underrepresented in things. They aren't lying awake in excruciating agony, they're just being unfairly treated as inferiors. Even mocking this as if it's about "being EXTREMELY OFFENDED" is in poor (clueless) taste. People don't deserve equal treatment because they are offended, people deserve equal treatment because of a fundamental presumption that people are created equal. In the context, "Apple added emojis that benefit other people and not me, so now I'm ranting on the internet about it" is meta-poor-taste, the idea that someone else doing something that benefits someone who isn't you is bad.
