Cosmopolitan tries to police emoji usage

5. Brown Heart This heart emoji should be reserved for Black and brown people. While a non- BIPOC might think sending this heart is a message of solidarity, it's akin to using digital brownface or darker skin tone emojis when you're actually a skin tone 1 person. Good for: Any use by Black and brown people. Bad for: Use by a white person to show solidarity with their Black and brown friends. Just do a classic red heart to show support.

Chuchel redesigned to avoid blackface association

Chuchel redesigned to avoid blackface association Alice O'Connor News Editor 21st December 2018 11:51AM Amanita Design have redesigned Chuchel, the eponymous star of their delightful 2018 adventure game, to avoid associations with blackface. Chuchel is a dust mote but with his black face, curly black hair, thick orange lips, and scampish ways, yeah, I can see the comparison. The Czech studio say they didn't consider this at all when making the game, and they don't want to be "even remotely associated with racism". so they've given him a new look. Chuchel's black body is now orange, and his orange hat is now black - a look that will be patched into the game's various editions across "the upcoming days and weeks." The change is "in reaction to a number of requests we've seen coming from the players throughout the year." Amanita said in their announcement on Facebook "We acknowledge that due to significant differences in culture and history between Central Europe and other regions, we did not consider the possibility of Chuchel, a living dust bunny. being associated with 'blackface, a theatrical racial stereotype which emerged in the United States in the 19th century." Here's his original style
