To be clear, my reference to “inequities being addressed” was not about emoji. It was about actual issues where rights are involved. For example, whenever a state enacted marriage equality, there would a very outspoken group of people who would start whining about how gay people are getting “special treatment” when in fact they are getting equal, and equitable, treatment.

We can also be nice and reasonable people without constantly accusing each other of trying to incite a culture war.
