Even companies that cater to the LGBTQ+ community, which is all about equality, treat their workers like garbage. There seems to be no incentive for any corporation to actually be decent to their employees, no matter how liberal their social views might be or appear to be according to corporate image or culture. I guess there aren’t enough protections for workers and nobody cares, just as long as they can scroll through somebody’s workout pics and try to hook up with them. (Oh yeah, I’m brutally sarcastic sometimes)
Don’take the mistake of thinking Grindr cares about the community. They’re a company that saw an unexploited market demographic and capitalized on it. That’s all they are.
Yes, I realize that. However, they don’t even care about their image. Why don’t they care about their image and how the people who use their app see them? Perhaps the people who continue to use their app are either A) indifferent or B) uninformed. I went out last night and talked about this situation (you know, at the LGBTQ bar where all we LGBTQ people go) and I got a lot of indifferent attitudes about it. I got an equal number of attitudes that expressed concern, but some of them expressed concern as they were checking their Grindr notifications on their phones. I think it’s time for us - the ones who care - to band together and burn it down.
