Who thinks DU needs some female emojis?

[nolabear]

Seriously, all these amazing women all over the world and if I want to shout out via emoji I have to post little bald guys.

See, this could be a kickass woman.

Yeah yeah yeah, universal yaddayadda. I want me some GIRLS! (Girlhands)

[JDC]

1. I agree. All of the emojis could use a makeover

To be honest.

[bettyellen]

2. Kick!

[procon]

3. Yeah, I'd like that too.

They look mostly androgynous, although the ones that identify as male do seem to outnumber the fem emojis. They did give us this one, the "silly" woman

There are better sets of animated emojis, but maybe TPTB think it's too expensive to upgrade them.

[nolabear]

10. I'd kick in!

What could it cost?

[Takket]

4. can we also get those clapping hands scaled down 10 times to represent Trump?

[TrekLuver]

5. Maybe it is a woman...

6. and I want an upside flag emoji as well. eom

7. how can you tell they are not "women"? do women never have bald heads too? nt

[nolabear]

11. Sure. But do you automatically think of them as women?

[melman]

8. "See, this could be a kickass woman. "

Who's to say it isn't?

[nolabear]

12. That's why I picked that one.

9. I do not see a gender in any of the emojis.

Not even the head banger. I've had that haircut.

[nolabear]

13. But you're the exception. I don't have anything against the ones here but they don't look

like what people typically think of as girl. I love mohawk girls, but I'd like to see ones that look like me too.

[alphafemale]

15. My Mohawk experimentation was short lived.

But, even that brief period is why I do not see that headbanger as being male.

The only one I see as possibly specifically male is the one with the top hat.

I have always seen smiley faces as asexual by default.

Thy are really old-school emojis and I love them. I wouldn't mind others but they would have to fit with the classic feel I think.

14. Does this one seem rapey to anyone?

Sure, the blue one is smiling... but what about the others?

And what's happening here? Torture?

Masochism?

Suicide?


KIDDING!! I like the emojis here!

Edit: I wouldn't mind more of them... whatever people like.

[nolabear]

18. Made me laugh right out loud!

I know we can project whatever, but

16. How, in the small space available, would you make it clear a smily is female, not male

when they're mostly circles representing a face? Or a weird sphere with hands only when needed?

[annabanana]

17. here:

(got a couple "Nun" ones)

[nolabear]

19. *snort!* Thanks!

Nice tatas.

[muriel_volestrangler]

20. Well, I'm glad you told me the last one is a nun

since my mind doesn't spring to nuns when looking at smilies. But the thing is, when would you use those, and how, without looking like you're using a stereotype? I suppose the 'curtsy' one could be applicable as a general "you're welcome".
