Lots of men in this thread real upset about this app pointing out how the majority men are shit
Defaming people without giving them a chance to defend themselves, talk about shit people...
But have you considered man bad?
It's not defamation if it's true
And its legally actionable libel/slander if false.
On one hand, yes. On the other, women have, based upon crime statistics, legitimate reasons to avoid putting themselves in a situation where they may be assaulted or murdered for reporting problematic and/or worrisome behavior.
I don't think creating an incel style circlejerk is the best solution.
I agree. Some sort of solution is necessary but this probably isn't it.
Citation of course needed with that one.
The only people who will be listed on the app are people who are either deserving they've been on there or people who don't deserve to be on there but some woman in their lives has decided to inact some vengeance justified or otherwise.
It's an antisocial surveillance system for antisocial people, and creates a(n even more) antagonistic relationship between men and women.
