![]() And particularly with sex, we felt that it was so crucial that everyone feel sexually represented. My friends and I are not accurately represented in emoji, and it’s frustrating. It looks like you put a lot of thought into including different races, kinks, and sexual orientations. I’m not surprised that you discussed hair in that way because from what I can tell, Flirtmoji seems really sex-positive and diverse. "Hair has actually been really contentious and funny - and also a major design issue." But we do have a few new ones that have hair, and we’re working on it. I think it’s really important, and actually making it come across has been incredibly difficult. Hair has actually been really contentious and funny and also a major design issue, all while being a major conceptual necessity to all of us. I’m really glad you’re bringing that up because I feel like I’m being held accountable for that. Right, so I noticed that the free set of Flirtmoji don’t have hair, and I was wondering about that decision. Well yea that’s a whole other conversation, because how do you make hair in simple line strokes? ![]() Everyone looked at them, everyone talked about them, everyone had their two cents, and then being the only woman in a group of guys discussing body parts, obviously there are moments that are a little hairy, but… The boobs, in particular, were really hashed out. Well, I did draw them! And that’s so beautiful, coming from another woman, that she saw that. She said that men don’t tend to draw breasts like that. I showed some of the Flirtmoji to a friend, and she wasn’t surprised when I told her that you’re a woman. We realized that we needed to do this, to draw up sex as icons, and make it completely comprehensive, funny, and diverse. But the game-changer came because one of the guys in the group was having really elaborate texting engagement back and forth with a long distance girlfriend. All four of us had experience with jokingly and poorly substituting the existing emojis into text conversations to try to communicate sex, and it never worked. ![]()
