MAGA broke Grindr... Again...
MAGA broke Grindr... Again...
Interesting how this seems to happen every single time there's a large gathering of Republicans.

This is part of the reason they are going after transgender people so much. Most Republicans are in the closet and they don't want their past lovers to let the public know what they are doing behind closed doors.
It's also why they choose so many white, blonde women to be their face on the news and in the Whitehouse.
They try so hard to make their voter base think they are " MEN!!" and do "MANLY THINGS!!!" When actually most of them are crybabies and closet bisexuals.
-
IIRC transgender porn is by far the most popular in the deep US south.
-
in utah, at least for PH statistics.

To be fair, they all cry on tv about how their feelings are hurt.
-
Also why they are convinced sexuality is a choice and they hate the ones who have made the choice they wanted to make but felt they couldn't/can't due to social and religious pressures.
-
some of them are into transgender people too, trans people are an easy target, because there is so few of them, and they dont have as much representation as the rest of the queer folks.

Alex Jones got caught with a tab open on his phone didnt he?

The hypocrisy is what bothers me. These people scream about hating gays.
-
Plenty of closet gay or bi conservative men who hate themselves and other gay men for social/religious/political reasons but plenty of conservative hetero flexible men who find the thrill that comes with doing something "naughty" or the risk of getting caught appealing. If they were in more understanding situations, they probably wouldn't bang other guys cause the thrill would be gone.
-
Maybe they are trying something at the one occasion in their lives when they are away from home?

Wouldn't that be an interesting list of names, if it unfortunately ever leaked?
-
Leaking it wouldn't really accomplish much because they'd just get replaced by more Republicans. But if they were blackmailed, that could potentially influence policy, or make the thief rich.

This generates so many questions it could be a study. I do not have any gay friends, or know of people around me who use Grindr so I guess if someone who does could tell me.
Do these people seek "locals" (nonMAGA) of towns/cities they live, or do they seek other MAGA hidden on the platform? If they're looking for a non-MAGA partner, do they hide their leanings? Is it just not something discussed during dms before hooking up? Do they often become toxic and try to bully the partner or do they keep quiet and try to blend in with John Everyman? If they look for each other, do they have like...a tell on their profile to help signal to each other to help get swipes? Are they often top/bottom or is the demographic still case-by-case? Do they attend Grindr and mark "looking for friends" or "looking for hookups"? (Women used to use bumble a lot but like 90% of them were always marked as "just looking for friends" rather than hookups on their profiles)
This is the second time I've seen this phenomena of grindr spiking in a city where lots of MAGA congregates, but I dont think I've ever heard of assaults on homosexuals from maga people specifically after a hookup on grindr, in local/national news
-
It's gay (or bi) MAGA men in the closet seeking hookups with people in other towns so they don't bump into them later at the grocery store with their wife.
These are the same people that will say shit like "faggots make me sick" and some probably even go gay bashing.
Their religion and culture have damaged their brains into rejecting who they are and what they want in life and will violently lash out at others who embrace who they are.
I'd feel pity for them if they weren't such horrible humans.

My pet theory is that these bisexual conservatives are the origin of the “it’s a choice” thing. Because they do wake up every morning and choose to act straight in everyday life. And since they do it, they assume every gay person can do it. They’re just bisexual, and constantly deny that they find the same sex attractive.
Their hatred for gay people runs so deep because whenever they see an openly gay person, they see the part of themselves that they constantly deny; The part that they’re only able to deny by constantly telling themselves that it is disgusting. Because if they stop telling themselves that, they’re afraid that they’ll give into it. So whenever they see an openly gay person, the internalized “this part of you is disgusting and you should feel ashamed of it” part of them bubbles up to the surface and manifests as “just choose to be straight” homophobia.
-
No I understand the rationale and why this occurs in the way it does, but not the process theyre going about it.
My thought was "surely if there was a larger trend AFTER these hookup patterns there'd be talk of it" but I am not the type of person/near the people who would be affected so I hear nothing and find that...unusual, given how much tea would be spilled back and forth on social media of "paul" recognizing "george" on grindr

(Women used to use bumble a lot but like 90% of them were always marked as “just looking for friends” rather than hookups on their profiles)
I'd just like to say, as a woman who used dating apps a lot in my young 20s, I didn't put "looking for hookups" even when that's what I wanted. If a woman puts on her profile that she's looking for hookups, some guys become scarily entitled. For some reason some people think "wanting a hookup" means "I will fuck anyone who asks." Which is... quite the bizarre leap. Add in, such profiles get inundated with messages - some guys will react poorly if ignored, while others will react poorly if responded to but then rejected. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation, with some unhinged folk who have your picture, name, and know what town you live in.
I quickly realized it was a bad idea and never chose that option on a dating profile again.
-
I figured, but also now theres just straight up separate pools I think. When you create an account one of the settings is specifically "looking for friends". Part of "the game" I'm glad I dont have to race around trying to play anymore tbh. (But yeah no I get totally sucks on the women's end too for the opposite reason it sucks for men)
-
dating sites, apps, "pickup games" draws out the creeps around women, aka "nice guys". i happened to overhears a family member who binges on pickup material, and i noticed alot of the "artists" or people become from mildly offended to passive aggressive when they get rejected. its probably the passive aggressive that women should look out for.

"This is the second time I've seen this phenomena of grindr spiking in a city where lots of MAGA congregates"
This is easily the 6-7th time I've seen this exact thing. It's hilarious every single time.
-
i would think some people would be embarrassed to tell people they are using grindr to tell friends or family. grindr probably more simple like looking for something more superficial, instead of deep down like political affiliation, like 6-pack, dick size, white or black. in gay porn its mostly these 4 categories, and some categories, includ gay nazis, skinheads,,,etc.(this is also some of the tindr profiles for superficial people to)
of course if one is in a relationship with a white supremecist it can be a huge problem or in just a occasional hookup
-
-
this is one of those things that when we're old and trying to tell our grandkids about what it was like to live in this era, nobody is going to believe. "Grandpa said Republican conventions and events used to bring gay hookup sites offline, as if hookup web sites were city-specific domains, each with their own separate database and each running on a potato, as late as 2025"

To be fair, this is not actually a graph of outages - it's a graph of the number of users reporting outages. What's more likely happening is that the service itself is working fine, but there is an outsized number of people having problems reaching the service, due to any number of unrelated factors (network congestion, individual device issues, temporary ISP outages or other internet hiccups)
This could happen to any service if the number of people trying to access it multiplies. If 1% of the time someone tries to access a service, there is an issue (even temporary), and the number of people trying to access that service goes from 1000 people (10 issues) to 10,000 people (100 issues) then it looks like there is a huge jump in problems accessing a service, when really the service is working just as well as it was before.

"Sitting whilst black was what first drew our suspicion. Then after we were called and we determined it best for him to leave the train, he simply refused to leave, AND asked questions! Judge, as you see, we had no option available other than to arrest and detain. If it wasn't for my colleague being so liberal, we'd have thrown him to the floor too, just like in our training "
-
The gay Nazis are gonna be hella mad when they find out xstian nazis have been sizing them up for the ovens the whole time.
-
there is a major overlap between them
-
And they'll gladly throw each other into the ovens to save themselves. Feels like beating a dead horse to bring up the "jews for Hitler" movement but here we are.

Long tradition of two fisted gay men on the Right.
-
We all pretend that we like to work. Republicans can't stand the double standard and also pretend the rest of their lives.
-
you see, it's actually just a conspiracy by the gays, they all agreed to use the app nonstop at these times and ensure they submit issue reports, all to frame republicans
clearly the more likely scenario
-
Some people unironically in this thread suggesting exactly that! Occam's razor, folks!
-
-
Imagine the utopia we could have if these cowards just came out as themselves instead of becoming psychotic self-hating fascists.
-
I know a guy who became viciously anti-trans. Like, you can't have ANY political conversation without him getting upset and demanding "define a woman!". And you can see the dude coming a mile a way, he's huge but has the most feminine walk I've ever seen. More feminine than most women. LIke, transition and be happy bud.

It's a kink they want to make it edgy again..
-
Make anuses gape again!
-
Ok, but does this also happen at other large congregations in that location? Otherwise this is just a population density anomaly map.
-
Why is this being downvoted?? This is a valid question.
We know that it surges at Republican conventions.
The post implies but does not actually show us that this is disproportionate to other congregations.
-
It's a pain only gay sex can numb 😔

But these are the people trying to take away the right to be gay. You don't get to hide in the closet, have your secret gay hookups, and then turn around and say gay people don't deserve the right to marry and trans people don't deserve basic human decency and respect. No one is forcing them to be a Republican but themselves. Hell, you still be a Republican and be gay, the log cabin Republicans are a thing. But they alone are not the ones causing this spike in Grindr usage.
The idea that we should just let this kind of shit slide where it's only ok if you do it in secret is beyond idiotic. It's only bad if you are open about your homosexuality apparently.
-
L take.
-
Some gay people are welcome, but some gay people are more welcome than others.
I would imagine it would be the ideal situation to talk about differences between US tribals.
But virtue signaling behind a device is much more easy.
To use an metaphore for the tribals who need it:
"Nazi Germany wouldn't have fallen if it were also not because of the many defectors, collaboraters and spies from inside Nazi Germany"
-
Whoooosh.
-
I'm just curious -- where did the heatmap come from? Just some random twitter user?
-
Looks like the graphs/heatmaps that are shown on Down Detector. Here's one for Google as an example.
