this is literal nonsense
I wonder how that meeting went at Microsoft.

>not a single pistol in the picture
>Microsoft the contrarian
>I wonder how that meeting went at Microsoft.
I'd like to imagine someone silently put his gun on the table and left it there.
Silence ensued, and the gun emoji stayed.
wtf I love facebook now
Why did the gooks acquiesce?
Obviously they were just following everyone else.

What's up with the 2013-2015 design for Microsoft? Did Billy accidentally an Area 51 gun recovered from Roswell?
tbhy microsofts raygun is far cooler t han any of the censored water pistols
JUST
this water pistol shit is disgusting. Just remember every time you see a despicable "job" or "uni" thread pop up on Jow Forums you're talking to the slime responsible for this digital cuckoldry.
>to reflect our values
this speaks volumes
Someone with twitter account point out that water pistols can be used for acid attacks. And we have epodemic of those.
Oh, Britain...
It really does.
It means that, amongst other things, they are admitting they have a bias and actively engage in enforcing their bias upon their products. We've all known this, but this is them admitting it.
About the same as the bing safe search meeting.
It goes beyond that. They're taking it for granted that communication between people not having anything to do with them must reflect their corporate "values." The idea that two people use their Windows or browser to express ideas beyond that is immoral and must be fought. And liberals cheer for it.
(and that's a good thing)
...
>their corporate "values."
This came off wrong be cause it implies they're their own. Every corporation has the exact same set of professed pseudoreligious Diversity(tm) beliefs.
bill gates is 2 moves ahead
Google should of kept blunderbuss as gun icon
>should of
you should HAVE stayed in school
On the plus side it will render a whole lot of basketball-american posts pretty funny
>microsoft openly telling people it's a political move
Surreal to think of emojis as a political battleground. I mean of course we had all the african american emojis added a few years back, and the big push to remove 'cute' females and replace them with 'powerful' females. But we rarely see companies openly tell people that it's to manipulate them.
>But we rarely see companies openly tell people that it's to manipulate them.
what
Fucking apple, always ignoring the unicode standard to just show whatever the fuck they want rather than what the emoji is actually supposed to show. They did the same with the smiling shit.
they ruined the new moon face,
my fav emoji
this is her now
absolutely pathetic
BRING BACK THE RAY GUN BRING BACK THE RAY GUN
Think of all the school shootings this will prevent!
>facebook and microsoft
Are they, dare I say, based?
Nvm, only facebook is based.
Wut?
>facebook giving ZERO fucks
Sasuga, Zuckerberg
>changing an emoji will prevent shootings
i love this logic it's perfect
>changing emojies will stop shootings
I love this logic it's perfect
I know you're trying to be funny/"ironic" but there actually is a lot of data in favor of this.
give me source i don't believe that in the slightest
>using software that doesn't respect user-specified fonts
shit bait
fake news?
>El Capitan
They seem to have removed it altogether from High Sierra

>A Facebook spokesperson confirmed to Emojipedia that a toy squirt gun will now be replacing the gun emoji design on Facebook platforms.
Looks like a 56% baby
It's all fucked.
Porn when
Revolvers and semi automatics are both considered pistols.

Zuck is not a cuck!
say what you will about facebook but bullshit ethical concerns have never bothered them
ITT: slavic viral marketing interns' concern trolling
Yeah I'd much rather just get straight up shot
>if we pretend guns don't exist, the shootings will stop!
American logic at its finest
>caring about emojis
Can all you fucking normalfags go back to rebbit already?
must be good to simultaneously have a quasi-government-sized monopoly and be in the business of pro-israel and anti-european social engineering
>If I pretend statistics don't exist, then I can just pretend America has a gun problem that needs to be solved by more gov't
Yuropean logic at it's finest
Here I'll spoonfeed you on where to start:

>clearly revolver
Sasuga macOS
Someone said "we have to do something about the gun culture" and nobody was willing to openly disagree, or even say, "stacy, we make software."
So how does that lead them to changing the laser gun to a handgun?
