Touch some grass dude, humans flirting with each other in public has been happening literally forever. “Oh let’s give control one of the most basic core human activities over entirely to a handful of dating app corporations” my man, go outside

    istg if this baitslinging normie dunce got flirted with irl by someone he finds attractive then all of this virtue signalling is going out the window

    in reality, for these normies, public flirting is fine if the one who commences it is conventionally attractive/NT but it isnt fine when the one who commences is less conventionally attractive/NT than the person they are talking to

    What no intersectionality does to a mother fucker. Hitting on people in public comes with a whole host of issues. Pointing that out doesn't meant that we're advocating for corporate control over the dating scene.

    It's the classic white cishet leftist guy calling shit "ahistorical" or "immaterial" when it criticizes something he likes. The criticisms in this thread are pretending to be leftist. You can simultaneously not like apps like Tindr or the corporations behind them while also talking about how hitting on strangers is generally not great

    This comment just reeks of reactionary / 4chan brain. Like the way it's written is exactly how reddit or the farms or 4chan talk about social justice movements.

    Also too the idea that this is a virtue signaled take and can't be an earnestly held belief. The immediate assumption that this is a lie first and foremost as opposed to something someone could genuinely act on in public.

    "Oh you wouldn't care if they were hot" I'm telling you for a fact: even if a really attractive man started flirting with me in public I'd be just as uncomfortable and anxious.

    But that's a perspective that can't be considered because the immediate assumption is that this is "a soyboy beta cuck" trying to attract the woke women by virtue signaling. Huge chan shit.
