This sounds irresistible for angry misogynists. The only thing that surprises me about this is that it didn’t happen earlier.
I'm way out of the dating game at this point, and also a man, so it's very likely that I'm just out of the loop
But I hadn't heard anything about this app until a couple weeks ago when I saw an article or two about it
Then about a week later this happened
So I kind of feel like maybe most of the assholes who did this were similarly unaware of it until it got some exposure and then it was on their radar.
I would certainly imagine that most women using this app probably weren't telling the angry misogynists in their lives about this app.
Warning I'm going off memory and I'm too lazy to check this.
One of the articles on the first data leek mentioned it became big on the google play store shortly before the leek. It probably just wasn't around long enough for you to notice it.
Ostensibly, a noble goal. Practice is a bit more fuzzy.
Also: nothing is ever new
