iOS 10 Beta 4 Includes Dozens of New Emoji Promoting Gender Equality

No, I'm equating inclusion with inclusion. In reality, it'd be easier to argue that these extra men/woman emoji were omitted, while the gun (which was already there), was excluded. One is potentially omission, the other is definitely commission. Worst part is, because emoji is a standard and everyone else in the world interprets "gun" as a real gun, when you send your new friendly water gun to someone outside iOS, it'll look like a real gun to them. This is not good for the standard or communication in general.
It is not that. It is the fact that they are over complicating things. We do not need to have emojis of every gender or of every race. We can make then neutral. That yellow color was perfect.

I don't really "get" emoji. I can rarely see what they are, and finding the right one seems so tedious. Apple had an answer for both of those issues with iOS 10. But I still don't get the popularity. The smiley face was an organic thing and it makes sense. To use linguistic terms, the smiley face was a natural language and these new emoji are an artificial language. Artificial languages, save maybe Klingon, don't normally catch on. But this seems to be (I guess? )which is interesting.
The Human Being just gets creepier and creepier...Isn't it more sexist to assume the person with the long hair is a woman and the short hair is a man? Or that pink is for women and blue is for men? Apple should just give up and make every emojii look like this.
I just came here to see big tough unshakable people "triggered" by equality.
Thank goodness you quoted me so my comment can live on in posterity. The moderators became a little too triggered and so were forced to remove it, poor little things.
Still discriminating against guys with beards. Why can't there be an emoji with a beard other than Santa Clause? Even creepy mustache guy gets his own emoji. #BeardEmojiMatter
Oh, this makes so happy............. Just can't wait to do absolutely nothing with this bs
Waiting for a bunch of green-skinned emojis as to not offend those who identify as Orions.

Sad to see where the world is coming to: people sending each other the same meaningless crap all day long, yet they are still convinced they are actually communicating. Totally brain dead.
I want an air conditioner unit emoji just to irritate John Kerry. The more ac emojis are used, the warmer the planet gets.
Where's my genderfluid, oxy-cat, atheist who vapes, starbuck drinking, cat loving, apple geek emoji?

Or else at least a PB&JYeah women should be making pies for their men, right?
Great, so we have male and female emojis now. But what about the 66 (and counting) other genders? Tim Cook needs to check his privilege, and make iOS inclusive NOW!
It's really not that complicated. Just use the one's that you want. Pretty straight forward IMHO
I'm done with Apple's emojis. Way too much time to pick out what's appropriate. I'll have to depend on writing skills to get my point across.
I'm simply appalled that they aren't releasing the trans-emojis in Beta 4!
