Users follow prompts, so "people choose a race when presented with a racialized emoji picker" doesn't mean "people want their emojis racialized". It means, people understand what they are being asked to do, and want to get back to their business.
You would need to have a theory of benefit, and then design a survey which tests users to understand if that benefit was achieved. You, frankly, are confused about causation -- we put a dialog in front of people and they made a selection, therefore people wanted this dialog?
- andrewzah 5y ago"we put a dialog in front of people and they made a selection, therefore people wanted this dialog" You're suggesting that it's impossible for people to have wanted a feature, because UXs have a popup showing people that it's possible to use that feature now. I disagree. You're projecting your personal opinion as everyone's personal opinion. And that emoji picker still allows you to pick the default yellow color. So if people -really- didn't want to use them, they wouldn't.
- jessedhillon 5y agoI'm not suggesting it's impossible. I'm saying you don't know what you claim to know, and to my knowledge nobody has tried to know it. People, such as yourself, assume that because this feature is used, it's desired. This is not at all warranted, given what we know about how people use computers.
- klyrs 5y agoNo, it's more like, we put up this dialog, and people didn't overwhelmingly pick jaundice. And therefore the available variety is preferred over less variety.
