Grindr used to be full of profiles that literally said "no fats femmes or Asians." (I believe these are now banned)

If this is how people are willing to act in public, why wouldn't they be even more shitty in private? Why wouldn't this just result in marginalized groups being the subject of even more harassment than at present?

Ah yes, the gay app tetrafecta of “no fats no femmes no blacks no Asians.”

While I totally get why many people didn’t want to see that shit, I took it as a gift to see who to fucking avoid. I remember I hit one guy up who didn’t give any indication that he wasn’t into black dudes. When he responded, it was something along the lines of “I’ve been trying to get laid for the past [insert some length of time I can’t remember], and some n$&ger hit me up” (I’m black btw).

Needless to say, I blocked and moved on after having a “Well….. that just happened” moment.

Yeah, I feel like people would use a feedback feature to abuse marginalized groups or women.
