If Apple spent 1% of the time and resources that they spend on these miserable emojis and dedicated it to squashing bugs in OS X and it's associated apps (FTFF, Preview etc.) the world would be a very much better place...
Gay = men who have sex with men
Deaf = person without hearing
This is from German wiki and not a joke.
I'm not a conservative and yet I am wondering as well when this madness will end.
At some point, the amount of emojis to chose from will become unmanageable.

What is the one that looks like a testical on fire supposed to be?
It's "supposed to be" (read: is) a Hindu temple lamp, part of religious services no less important than the candles people light in any Catholic church. What an ignorant comment.
Yep. The original colour face emojis were perfectly fine. Like you said no one has that skin tone so it was neutral and non biased. In any event there is far too many emojis as it is. Do we really need one for literally everything?
Yes, please teach us about people who overreact and act ridiculous.
This politically correct hypocrisy has to stop.Apparently the word “triggered” is insensitive, I found out the other day. I mean come on
I’m in a mixed race marriage and have never even considered that I was being discriminated against until today. I’m now outraged this hasn’t happened before!!!
Really? Please explain how Apple taking a team of professional artists and having them fix bugs instead would make the world a better place. I'm genuinely curious.
Why the hell is an article about emojis in PRSI?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with these emojis and everyone needs to be represented. Move on.
However a side not of everyones eye rolling is because the past 5 years has been such down your throat push from media, cities, communities, politicians that soon as i saw the article this giggle came above me. Because it seems that no other Brand advertises their desperation to show they are inclusive other than apple.

No, emoji threads tend to be mostly about:
- people apparently believing that the humongous team* at Apple working on emoji somehow precludes Apple working on other features or quality
- people complaining about the existence of a particular emoji (such as because they're not gay; therefore, gay emoji don't matter)
You know. The usual.
Every single emoji thread then explains that, while Apple has significant input in the consortium, Emoji are a standard as part of Unicode, and for Apple not to implement that as completely as possible, even if they wanted to (which they do not, as emoji are a hugely popular feature), isn't feasible. The last thing Apple wants is for WhatsApp on Android to support an emoji iOS doesn't yet, for people to love and use that emoji, for people to realize it doesn't work when recipients are on an iPhone, and then for people to conclude that the iPhone is uncool and yesteryear's news.
*) Probably a handful of people, if that.

You… do realize this article refers to something the Unicode consortium is working on, not a PR statement from Apple?

Alas, I think the replies speak for themselves.
I feel my specific type of poop is not represented here... Depending on what I eat, the look can vary.
Because this website has gradually become an insufferable alt-right ********.
I've been following it since the start, I've been a member for 15 years, and the last few years have been terrible. There's always been whiners, but it's turned to severe political whining recently.
Expecting this comment to be deleted, and to get a 7 day ban for this. (Or maybe much, much longer, for being this blunt.)
I don’t agree with a some conservative views, they must be alt right. Classic 2018

I used to work for a client where using such words was considered insensitive. “Bullet” points should be dot points. We were given a whole list of words and with practice it became second nature.
