Skin tone emoji are just too far. Return to monochrome.

  I agree. It’s frustrating when I want to send a thumbs up but when I type :thumbs it shows me thumbs down in 5 colours. I’m not sure what the point was when the yellow ones already covered everyone. Although I have to say, the gender neutral emoji are the most puzzling and seem to enforce weird stereotypes. According to the Unicode spec. Men are people with short hair and blue shirts, woman are people with long hair and red shirts. And gender neutral people are people who have medium hair and grey shirts.

    Dealing with color variations seems more of a user-interface problem than an emoji problem.

    You just made me think... I'd like the option to, not set a default color, but to automatically select a random color (and gender) every time an emoji is used.

  This is something I like about GNU unifont. The emojis all just use the text color.
