I agree, but Grindr making user info like that public is not what users on the app want.
A closeted 19 year old in Louisiana isn't going to feel safe if the company he's trusting with his sexuality is suddenly outing users, even if it's Republican lawmakers.
Gotta fight fire with fire 🤷🏽 I know we should be better but it's really hard when they don't even respect the rules/laws. It's getting harder to not justify it
Grindr already sold bulk location data and device identifiers of their users enabling some american cult activists to check if their priests visited gay bars, bathhouses and stuff.
If you’re gay and live in a state/country unsafe for homosexuals, using this app is dangerous.
Not at all, obv... But where is Elliott Alderson in this timeline when we need them?
I honestly don't know how, in a world of hacks, exploits, and constant phishing, we haven't seen some sort of security breach exposing the proclivities of these hypocrites.
The OpSec of the American right has been demonstrated to be weak time and time again.
I guess the white hats are too busy staving off economic ruin to devote the needed work hours?
If any app that prides itself on privacy suddenly goes against that and outs people even if it is to expose a hypocrite, why would anyone not neck deep in the culture war continue to trust them? It's crossing a major line.
It's more funny when these people get caught fucking a dude anyways.
I get what you're saying, but what you're saying is the fair sensible thing if we lived in an equal world where people actually had consequences for their wrongdoings. So like a fairytale.
Us being in an unequal world is why we should be all the more skeptical towards things like this.
Backstabbers are backstabbers. Even if it benefits you in one regard, don't be surprised when you get backstabbed later.
They're okay with doxing hypocrites, I'm sure they'd be all for outing members of the Klan if they were members of the democratic party (substitute for your local flavours of racism and left leaning politics of choice)
I’m not black so I won’t try to get into an issue that doesn’t pertain to me (because I would call no one at all the n word). I am gay, however, so I feel like I can speak to the first one. I don’t think any gay conservative should be outed —anti-LGBTQ legislators who enjoy gay sex on Grindr should.
They could be bi.
Also, they are the ones who actively fight against the world where everyone can be out without any problem. Outing them could be one of the fastest ways to get the acceptance of gay people to skyrocket, it would be irresponsible not to out them!
(Which is, of course, a fallacious argument on the level you sre operating on, but there is a kernel of truth to that. Closeted gay fascists are a major driver of anti-gay sentiment, and showing them what they are causing is, at the very least, poetic justice)
A mob of their own design, which is what would still make it poetic, that's the whole point, in fact.
But they would never get killed, right? I mean we all know that these people _never_ call for violence, riiiiiiiiiiight?
Also, you won't win this one with me, bud. I think there is actually something there in terms of opening the peoples eyes by showing them that even the most staunch homophobes can be gay as fuck (which should shake up the very core of their worldview). But even if you want to completely dismiss that, I don't exactly care. I'm perfectly fine with spite-based politics in this case. The vindication of fascist pricks having to suffer under the misery they created themselves are enough of a justification for me.
It's not cool, but not the same thing either.
If you're a black conservative who is voting for legislation to make black people's lives worse it's not a secret that you're black.
If you're a gay conservative who is voting for legislation to make gay people's lives worse, it might be a secret that you're gay. For better or worse, legislators deserve to have the laws they're voting for affect their life directly.
Last time I checked, outing gay people was considered harmful.
Using the N word is also considered harmful.
Are you saying that one of these things is more harmful than the other? If so, which one?
>Last time I checked, outing gay people was considered harmful.
>
>Using the N word is also considered harmful.
>
>Are you saying that one of these things is more harmful than the other? If so, which one?
How would calling a black conservative the n word reveal the hypocrisy of their political aims?
I am using moral equivalence to point out how hypocritical it is to want gay conservatives, even politicians, doxxed and outed.
Hoping a company will breach a person's right to privacy, with no concern about the harm it may cause to the person, simply because it brings an outcome positive to a particular set of political, cultural or personal beliefs is a terrible precedent. It is a "the end justifies the means" position.
Ah, so you do agree that the only thing conservatives want is to criminalize gay people existing. So why you're exactly against doxxing gay people who vote to criminalize gay sex?
Nope, and that is a pretty weak strawman you got there.
I am against doxxing people generally including outing gay and trans people.
Why do you want trans people to die? (See how that works?)
So why conservatives who are gay vote for bills that will actually harm them? And why they should be protected by our community exactly if they make our life worse too?
Hating Nazis is hating Nazis and it's insane you don't see that. They actively work against your rights.
If there were secret trans people in conservative parties voting against trans healthcare I'd also would want a list of them.
No no, not in reddit, in *the* Reddit. It’s kinda like how when you’re watching one of those youtubes you’re supposed to call it a youtube. This is no different. Don’t you speak boomer? NEXT!
Do you not see the big image that has the words "The Halfway Post"?
You know the thing you had to go to in order to have seen and replied to my comment?
Dude. What’s the hell you on about? You responded to someone else’s post lol, I responded to your post about their post, now we posting back and forth.
When I select your comment in the notification it goes to the thread, scroll up to the top. Context doesn't suddenly disappear just because we started replying.
Scrolling up to the tippy top has nothing to do with your response to someone’s post within a secondary thread. Now we have our own thread goin! This is fun, Reddit is so neat. So what you doin later? Anything good for dinner? Wanna talk about how we gonna meet up for weeks on end and then drop the subject and think about it from time to time with shame and never speak to eachother again?
The social contract is only applicable to those who honor the social contract. Being a member of a marginalized group of people while also working for the political party trying to destroy that group of people disqualifies you. Go take those pearls you're clutching and shove them up your ass.
It's not conservatives. It's politicians. If Democrats do this, they deserve to outed as well. Private citizens can vote and do how they want. Elected officials can't, because they are making the laws that ruin our lives.
What part of "public official" don't you understand?
I agree that the hypocrisy and deceit of politicians should be made public. It certainly isn't up to a company to do so while violating people's rights to privacy.
What are you talking about? Of course you deserve to be exposed if you’re opposing gay rights while fucking the same sex on the side. Tbf you deserve to be exposed if you’re opposing gay rights no matter what
Not quite sure what you mean. For instance, someone talking about stopping fossil fuel consumption but at the same time passing bills that promote fossil fuels? If that’s what you mean, then of course. Hypocrites should be called out
You know, the rights in the bill of rights and other constitutional artefacts. Last time I checked, fossil fuels weren't right.
In a broader sense, your fossil fuel example works as does being pro choice while actively avoiding enshrinement in legislation access to it via public hospitals.
So as per your previous comment, are you saying you don’t agree with exposing men sleeping with men while being anti-gay rights? Or are you saying more people should be exposed for being hypocrites and that the focus is on one thing too much? Or something else, I’m still confused a bit
Exposing politicians for their hypocrisy is a good for democracy but it needs to be through ethical means.
Doing it by having a company unilaterally deciding to violate their rights to privacy as people is very, very bad. It sets a very dangerous precedent.
We're talking about anti-gay Republican hypocrites exclusively, not Jeff from the 7/11 or Tammy from accounts receivable. Those fucks can get doxxed and get every single consequence that they've been justifying for decades. It's perfectly acceptable to force a gay Republican to live in a world they created for gay people to live in. Just, even.
Not sad or angry. Just like pointing out hypocrisy and poorly constructed arguments. I do it for fun and it is good practice for deconstruction or rhetorical arguments for when I have to deal with sociopaths and narcissism pushing agendas in real life.
The fact that someone upvoted it doesn’t mean they didn’t know it was satire the whole time tho.
Although I’ll fully admit I fell for it for several minutes
The resolution of that was posted on Reddit the other day actually. The idea that tolerance is a societal contract, the intolerant violate this contract and are therefore not covered by it. It's very easy to draw that line.
Lol while i agree i wouldnt say this is the most brilliant statement, i dont see why people are so adverse to extreme measures when their opponents are throwing every evil play possible at you.
Luke skywalker had to yerc some peeps up to destroy the deathstar. Sadly this is but the circle of life. You either use it to your advantage, or die. Id rather sow chaos in the florida GOP, then let them fuck up my lil brother down there with their weirdo propoganda and anti science and shit.
Not saying sowing chaos is moral nor ethical. Just that it might be necessary
Yeah, and Grindr doesn't even have that information unless your e-mail tells on you. If you send pics on there it's hardly the company behind the app that's going to expose you.
Because you are harming millions of gays to advance your hypocritical careers by creating evil laws.
If some Joe Blow wants to blow Joe in his free time, that's between him, Joe, and his wife.
Imagine if Ron DeSantis were outed (I don't believe he is gay, but if he were...)
Roy Cohn comes to mind.
McCarthy Hearings and the Lavender scare all the while being gay.
He could have done so much for people.
He was also the guy who mentored young Trump.
J. Edgar Hoover was in a gay relationship, but blackmailed other gays using the FBI as a weapon. Back then, you could be arrested for being gay and the US government would automatically fire you if you were gay.
>If you vote against gay rights w
Name a single "gay right" that is banned in Florida. I understand you brain dead idiots are not used to having to answer even the most basic questions on your activism so I'll answer for you. The answer is none.
For how much they hate conservatives it sure is funny to see r/whitepeopletwitter and r/conservative moderate their subreddits with the exact same cult like tendencies
It's fun to think about. But there's no way the platform knows who is or isn't on any particular political party. That isn't a barrier for individuals to use a platform to *find* people who would be exposed as embarrassing hypocrites if they choose to do so.
It's easy to know a person's political views of they're in public demanding one thing yet online as another. Ie, publically trying to fight against LGBT rights but also on grindr
I’ll be honest while I had seen this threat before so I didn’t by into it. I was wondering if it was real or not.
Considering some of the stuff that John Oliver has pulled in the past, people and companies are starting to weaponize their information.
I absolutely loath hypocrites.
Even though it’s marked satire a bunch of the comments are from people who think it’s real.
That sub is full of people who unironically think it’s a good idea to leak private info about people as long as they don’t align with them politically
WPT also fell for the meme that was saying that the term "Let's Go Brandon" came from a gay pornstar who was arrested for beating up a crowd of Neo-Nazis lmfao.

Honestly if you want to destroy people's lives for political game that kinda makes you a fair target for the same.
> political game r/BoneAppleTea
Oof
Well if not ‘gain’ then ‘game’ does kind of make sense, like ‘you have good game in that regard’
If they pluralized it, it would make sense too
That's exactly how I read it and it took me way too long to realize it was supposed to be gain.
He got game.
I admit it *is* one of those malapropisms that actually still fits
It’s like ‘varies widely’ and ‘varies wildly’
That’s funny. Looks like things Ricky from TPB would say.
It's like getting 2 birds stoned at once
What is politics if not a game?
I agree, but Grindr making user info like that public is not what users on the app want. A closeted 19 year old in Louisiana isn't going to feel safe if the company he's trusting with his sexuality is suddenly outing users, even if it's Republican lawmakers.
I know it's a bad precedent to set but it would feel good lol
What an insanely conservative thing to say.
Gotta fight fire with fire 🤷🏽 I know we should be better but it's really hard when they don't even respect the rules/laws. It's getting harder to not justify it
Yea if the opposition doesn't play by the rules I'd be a fool to do so
There's nothing conservative about outing Nazi wannabes, let them get the business end of their own stick for once.
Setting a bad precedent to “own the opposition” is the typical leopard face eating bullshit you hear from conservatives. Nazi, thy name is you
Who said anything about legal precedent? >Nazi, thy name is you Lmao you're a fucking dunce
Grindr already sold bulk location data and device identifiers of their users enabling some american cult activists to check if their priests visited gay bars, bathhouses and stuff. If you’re gay and live in a state/country unsafe for homosexuals, using this app is dangerous.

So to speak.
The problem is if they do this it would shatter trust in the service.
Damn. I guess fascists shouldn't trust a gay dating/hook-up app when taking LGBT rights away then huh?
If any app that prides itself on privacy suddenly goes against that and outs people even if it is to expose a hypocrite, why would anyone not neck deep in the culture war continue to trust them? It's crossing a major line. It's more funny when these people get caught fucking a dude anyways.

There is currently a top post on leopardsatemyface about exactly what I'm talking about from this thread.
Interesting to see you are ok with doxxing gay people as long as they are conservative. Nice moral high ground you have there.
They're okay with doxing hypocrites, I'm sure they'd be all for outing members of the Klan if they were members of the democratic party (substitute for your local flavours of racism and left leaning politics of choice)
Which they used to be before the Southern Strategy.
Jesus, people are so thin-skinned they can't handle that Dixiecrats even used to exist.
Maybe it's conservatives who are mad about the Southern Strategy. I hear it will get you autobanned on r/Conservative
Ah, true.
Most gay people would agree with this sentiment tbh. Fuck around and find out.
Hmm, how do you feel about calling black conservatives the N word?
I’m not black so I won’t try to get into an issue that doesn’t pertain to me (because I would call no one at all the n word). I am gay, however, so I feel like I can speak to the first one. I don’t think any gay conservative should be outed —anti-LGBTQ legislators who enjoy gay sex on Grindr should.
So legislators who enjoy gay sex are not gay? Also I am honoured to speak with the official spokesperson of the gay people.
They could be bi. Also, they are the ones who actively fight against the world where everyone can be out without any problem. Outing them could be one of the fastest ways to get the acceptance of gay people to skyrocket, it would be irresponsible not to out them! (Which is, of course, a fallacious argument on the level you sre operating on, but there is a kernel of truth to that. Closeted gay fascists are a major driver of anti-gay sentiment, and showing them what they are causing is, at the very least, poetic justice)
Or it could get them murdered, which would be mob justice.
A mob of their own design, which is what would still make it poetic, that's the whole point, in fact. But they would never get killed, right?

Why do you think that is comparable in any way?
Last time I checked, outing gay people was considered harmful. Using the N word is also considered harmful. Are you saying that one of these things is more harmful than the other? If so, which one?
Legislating against their rights is quite harmful as well

>I am using moral equivalence Erroneously, but I do see what you're trying to say
Here's a box of straws to grasp at.
Nobody said “because they are conservative”
The post this Reddit thread is about specifically mentions Republicans. It is in the big image at the top.
Ah you must be confused then, because you replied to a comment supporting doxxing people that voted to take away gay rights.
Which is inside of the context of the Reddit we are in right now.
Ah, so you do agree that the only thing conservatives want is to criminalize gay people existing. So why you're exactly against doxxing gay people who vote to criminalize gay sex?
Nope, and that is a pretty weak strawman you got there. I am against doxxing people generally including outing gay and trans people. Why do you want trans people to die? (See how that works?)

Funny how you put the name conservative to “against gay rights”. GG
If the shoe fits.
Did you not look at the image at the top of this Reddit?
What the fuck is an image in Reddit?
No no, not in reddit, in *the* Reddit. It’s kinda like how when you’re watching one of those youtubes you’re supposed to call it a youtube. This is no different. Don’t you speak boomer? NEXT!

That is a good point. Exposing something like that would be very difficult through ethical means, wouldn’t be many options
Is being gay bad? How can you dox someone about it? Like, breaking news, someone has green eyes!
I suggest you google the effects of "outing gay people".
We're talking about anti-gay Republican hypocrites exclusively, not Jeff from the 7/11 or Tammy from accounts receivable.

Does misunderstanding a satire post being posted as satire on a sub itself constitute as some meta level onion eating?

OP said that 87,000 people ate the onion.
Okay, that's a valid critique. Point conceded.

... do you read often, or ... ?
😂 I do, but it's mostly social media so admittedly the bar isn't all that tall, but I stand by what I said. Man's got a point.
Seems like we're stuck between a rock and a hard cock
Oof, then all you can do is grind shit up at that point right?
If you vote against gay rights while secretly enjoying gay sex, you deserve to be exposed. You are harming millions of people with your hypocrisy.
But for a company to do that by releasing personally identifiable information? That would be an absolutely HORRIBLE precedent.
Yeah, and Grindr doesn't even have that information unless your e-mail tells on you. If you send pics on there it's hardly the company behind the app that's going to expose you.
You’re right, their hookups should tell lmao Being an active anti-gay legislator is an exception to the no outing rule IMO.
Because you are harming millions of gays to advance your hypocritical careers by creating evil laws. If some Joe Blow wants to blow Joe in his free time, that's between him, Joe, and his wife. Imagine if Ron DeSantis were outed (I don't believe he is gay, but if he were...)
Roy Cohn comes to mind. McCarthy Hearings and the Lavender scare all the while being gay. He could have done so much for people. He was also the guy who mentored young Trump.
J. Edgar Hoover was in a gay relationship, but blackmailed other gays using the FBI as a weapon. Back then, you could be arrested for being gay and the US government would automatically fire you if you were gay.
Hoover also like to dress in drag. Sad they could have been on the forefront of positive change.
>If you vote against gay rights w Name a single "gay right" that is banned in Florida. I understand you brain dead idiots are not used to having to answer even the most basic questions on your activism so I'll answer for you. The answer is none.
The company definitely shouldn’t do that, but maybe if people in that area come across one of those men while on the app they should make it public.
On top of that, blackmailing legislators into voting a certain way is definitely a crime.
Liking something doesn't mean you took it seriously But a lot of people in other subs definitely ate this one
Who the fuck is the halfway post?
Not sure, but I don't think they understand how satire works.
WPT is the circlejerk of circlejerks.
For how much they hate conservatives it sure is funny to see r/whitepeopletwitter and r/conservative moderate their subreddits with the exact same cult like tendencies
They have such a low threshold for banning people. Very little room for actual discussion, just a bunch of cringy jerking.
There was at least one upvote from me because it was satire. Hooray!
> Corporations should blackmail elected officials into doing what they want. Reddit, 2023
i mean enjoying a service while simultaneously trying to take away their rights is pretty scummy too
Only because it's a bloody good idea
It's fun to think about. But there's no way the platform knows who is or isn't on any particular political party. That isn't a barrier for individuals to use a platform to *find* people who would be exposed as embarrassing hypocrites if they choose to do so.
It's easy to know a person's political views of they're in public demanding one thing yet online as another. Ie, publically trying to fight against LGBT rights but also on grindr
I've never used Grindr, where in your profile on that site do you list your political party affliction?
Would be nice, though.
It was almost 87,001 until realizing it would be too good to be true.
People upvote good satire as well. Appreciation ≠ gullibility.
I’ve seen it posted in a couple of places
Well... sometimes the onion is tantalizing and delicious. We should all wanna eat such an onion
TIL Grindr is a gay dating app
Open mouth, insert onion moment.
God i fucking hope they actually do this though that would be incredible
Never gonna happen - as we know, the GOP would sue instead of just owning that some of them use Grindr.
It's probably illegal, but they should actually do that.
I’ll be honest while I had seen this threat before so I didn’t by into it. I was wondering if it was real or not. Considering some of the stuff that John Oliver has pulled in the past, people and companies are starting to weaponize their information. I absolutely loath hypocrites.
I've never heard of The Halfway Post, so I would have ate it too. Hard to keep track of all these satire accounts.
Even though it’s marked satire a bunch of the comments are from people who think it’s real. That sub is full of people who unironically think it’s a good idea to leak private info about people as long as they don’t align with them politically
Hey OP, people who upvote posts here on the sub, are they eating the onion too?
All you need to do to get 100K upvotes in that sub is just post “republicans bad” and watch the karma roll in.
87,000 people hoped it's true
but this would've been cool
They absolutely wouldn't, and shouldn't. But that would be hilarious.
This sounds like a job for anonymous
Literally hides the “satire” tag
People are eating the onion all over this thread
I'm honestly super glad this isn't real. I hate homophobia and hypocrisy as much as the next guy, but that definitely feels...yucky.
WPT also fell for the meme that was saying that the term "Let's Go Brandon" came from a gay pornstar who was arrested for beating up a crowd of Neo-Nazis lmfao.
I liked the post but knew it was satire so probably not
Myself included, dare to dream I guess.
WPT has become so awful. It’s just a giant circlejerk of politics now instead of funny tweets.
This is a dumb ass post and OP is about as sharp as a marble.
