Grindr won’t allow users to add “no Zionists” to their profiles, but allows any number of other phrases that state political, religious, and ethnic preferences, according to 404 Media’s tests of the platform and user reports.
Several users received an error message that says “The following are not allowed: no zionist, no zionists,” when they tried to add the phrases to their bios on Thursday. I tested this myself on a new Grindr account, and received the same error message. I was able to add “Zionist” to my profile (without “no”), however, and could also add any phrase I could think of: “no Arabs,” “no Blacks,” “no Palestinians,” “no Muslims,” “no Christians,” “no Jews,” “no trans,” “no Republicans,” “no Democrats,” and so on. “No Zionist[s]” was the only phrase that was blocked in my testing.
I had a colleague who said, he do only use it to find people to have one-night-stands with. He does not care about their political opinions as long as they can “fuck just right”.
Your colleague is a Republican.
Either that or a libertarian.
Either way, they vote Republican.
We are not Americans but honestly, I don’t think he do vote right-wing. He’s very much ‘‘let everyone live the way they want’’. Curious though what makes you think he’d vote right?
Generally, and I do emphasize that, those who believe that “everyone should just do what they want” really just don’t want their lives to be impacted by change. Which makes sense, since everyone doing what they want only reinforces the power structures that already exist in society.
Gay men, for example, usually have zero problems blending in as long as they don’t get outed and don’t “look too gay” (straight passing). There’s a good reason why the RNC regularly crashes Grindr servers whenever it’s hosted. And as long they can rail/get railed, then they don’t want to upset the delicate balance of power in which they rail.
within the united states: it’s akin to self-awareness-lacking statements that make their prejudices clear, like: “i don’t have a problem with gay people, just don’t do it in front of my face” or “i can’t be racist because i have black friends”
