Emoji Update
AnsweredI don't know why emoji colors or structures had slightly changed, but it changes the usage and connotations of most emojis (for example, the :eyes: emoji) and honestly i think it should go back. Making heart emojis red instead of pink or making the side eyes facing almost perfectly straight ahead is going to change whether or not people use it A significant reason why people use discord is the formatting and emojis and changing them just... :/ Please fix this soon.
I understand updating to include new emojis, but please stop changing existing ones.

Hi there! This suggestion is the same as https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360055103332 so in an effort to keep duplicates out and keep everything neat and tidy, we're going to merge this ticket into that suggestion. This ticket will be deleted automatically after a week. -
Seconded. Give me back my multicolored sparkle.

Yeah I really dont like the new ok sign or the eyes emoji they are such downgrades to emoji I used often. Why the hell is gun a squirt gun, and why did shrug need a gender? Give me back my old good emoji I used for years.

They've ruined several emojis: Unicorn, Sparkles, Eyes, some of the hearts that were pink are now red, etc. I'm very sad about this and don't understand why they would be changed. Also, they are all very large and close to the above and below lines of text/emojis. Overall, it is an immense disappointment and downgrade to our Discord experience.

I despise the changes, especially to the existing ones. I don't like the gendered emojis but I can live with it. I don't like the new eyes or the fact that a lot of the ones just, completely changed image and code. Please change them back.

This isn't how emoji work. Discord uses Twemoji 12.0 which was just recently updated from Twemoji 2.1, an outdated emoji set from 2016. In my opinion, that's a much needed upgrade. Twemoji is the font of emoji that Discord uses, and if you have any problems with their designs then you should contact Twitter about it because Discord has no control over this "issue."

Discord can choose to use specific older versions of some Twemojis if they want. They can also set the size back to what it was so they're not huge. They are not constricted to just using the ones in the 12.0 version.

If they can choose to use the older ones they really should. The new ones are...no. Just no.
