setting your default skintone for emoji has some very funny outcomes. like, for hand signs and gestures i would be implicitly making it makes a lot of sense, obviously, but then someone in slack responded to something with the baby emoji and so when i concurred it was like "in addition to the cartoonish yellow one, michael gives you this white baby"

You Can't Distinguish Yourself From the Default Like That, White Baby
it's really funniest in a diverse workplace because you get like a 90s cartoon worth of babies on every post
everyone at work has the default yellow skin tone except one person who changed it to white. coincidentally, they also use the term “snowflake” in the right-wing sense.
