can I just say that "giggle" is a creepy as fuck name, even without the play on 'google'(a trusted name in privacy and not doing creepy shit!); just at every level, and I would literally never trust that platform with anything. most certainly not a photograph, demographics be damned?
If an app that centred trans women were called Giggle (with a pink interface, too) these terfs would be first in line to call it a misogynistic and stereotypical image of femininity, but since it's in the service of cissexism I guess it's okay!
(I never even made the connection to google though, jfc)
yeah is the google play like... a licensing thing? its really obvious.
It is more than a little cringe. I can't tell if it insults women who present more masc or women who present femme more
considering the number of levels that this is creepy on, i think its fair to say they intentionally targeted both with this master stroke.
