    It’s the same face. The only thing that changes is the hair length and color of shirt. Just use the one most like you or something.

    Guys can have long hair and wear purple. Girls can have short hair and wear blue.

      Perhaps the gender neutral one is the one that looks most like them…?

        Yeah that’s why I use it lol I’m a dude with long hair and that’s what it looked like to me.

        Didn’t even realize it was supposed to be gender neutral

    I don’t get the gender neutral either (using Gboard on an older Android). Which is a bit odd because as far as I can tell gender neutral is the base character, and the male and female versions are customisations that are applied as if they were accented characters.

    I’d rather have them all as no-gender, no-race, generic little yellow peeps but eh…

      But seriously, I think we should have never went down the rabbit hole of giving the yellow people skin colours, because then we had to give them genders, and then suddenly people are marginalised because they aren’t included.

      I still want ginger emoji variants now 🤣
