Yep. All press is good press. The app is only going to gain users from generating attention, bad or otherwise.
Although, I think basing the core community off of transphobes is a great way to guarantee her platform has a ceiling. Her potential userbase is feminist women, who tend not to transphobia and are usually socially aware enough to see through the "we need to hate trans people to protect women!" bullshit. If terfs dominate it from the beginning, new users will come in, see lots of terf shit, then delete the app. Given the way the app is designed and promoted, I'd say she's guaranteeing it's mostly terfs. Ironically, their method to eliminate toxicity is going to generate a more toxic community than it would have otherwise...all the non-terfs will probably end up still preferring Tumblr.
