I am a disgrace to all universes.

I mean, same, but you don’t see me melting down over it, ya clanker.

Capitalism will innovate!

Capitalism:

I miss the 70s flair. Can we have Slop-O-Matic 3000 at least?

Because they got fuck-you money.

What a throwback. I was on there but then it stopped suddenly.

Can’t confirm, I can’t tell.

You’re answering the how, but I’m asking for the why. 😅

The fuck is happening over there? Was there lead in the water?

So we can’t guess who’s responsible? Not even the most prominent ones?

I guess it’s all just propaganda, huh. We’re just a bunch of gullible buffoons.

I think polls could be useful.

The fuck?

It does take me several seconds to realize which one is which, so I sometimes go by their arrangement on my home screen. Avant-garde design, I guess.

When you need insurance to protect you from your other insurance:

Pretty much! I was half expecting it, so all good.

My government issued a report a few years back that estimated male vs female domestic abuse rates to differ in about one order of magnitude.

Also, for every one tragic story about one man’s abuse I have about ten more from women.

It’s lopsided in both quantity and severity, don’t even.

I’ve played VIM Adventures. It was so much fun but ran out of the free stuff really fast. Still good, though.

I see, thanks for elaborating. And yeah, I’m not talking about the app itself because it’s a little iffy given how people are drawn to gossip and revenge, but about the people in the comments giving their personal stories that sound traumatic but, like, not “make an app to avoid your potential killer” levels of traumatic.

Spoken by someone who has also been emotionally abused by men, mind you. These women and I have a common subject, and the last one almost turned violent for me.

I could also go on about emotional manipulation by men if you’d like, but that’d be on top of all the violence.

and the first thing that comes to mind is “women have it worse”?

Yes, because I’ve seen it and I had to intervene way more than I ever wanted to. We’ve had our fair share of violent domestic disputes in the family perpetrated by the men, I’ve seen it out on the streets, and lately, I’m watching all these videos of stories of women online who feared for their safety.

I’ve seen women mistreated in public, some being threatened with their lives, I’ve had family members impregnated against their will, my neighbor was literally choked on the street outside my window, a woman being held at gunpoint by their partner (I was there), and I’ve found out through gossip that the little girl I used to live with when I was a kid was found dead in a fucking ditch because of an ex. So yeah, I have no pony in this race as a man dating men, and yet I have plenty of reasons to think straight women have it way worse.

sounds like you’re invalidating their experiences

No, I’m comparing the grievances, which are perfectly valid and understandable on their own, but they’re completely different in how they weigh on the motivation for creating such an app. Those grievances sound a little weak as an argument for this “flip the genders” crowd.

Like, it really sucks that a woman led you on but ultimately turned you down for someone else and you’ve spent the last decade mulling over it, but it isn’t quite the same as getting a brick thrown through a window a few times as part of a campaign of terror orchestrated by a salty coke-head ex who won’t leave you alone and the police seem too eager to keep letting it happen. Which is what happened to my little sister for years. So yeah, kinda different when you factor in the readiness to go violent.
