I’ve seen multiple posts online posted by guys showing screenshots. The screenshots would show texts sent to those guys by girls saying that they’ve seen the guys on Tea and that they won’t have any more dates because of what they’ve seen. It all stinks to high heaven.
I think the screenshots are fake because I’ve been using the internet for very long and I know how publicity campaigns work.
For starters, men with hundreds of thousands of followers have no reason to post a screenshot that shows that women have used an app to report them as creeps. That the kind of thing that belongs in a police report, not in a public social network where you’re trying to build your brand.
1. The people being blamed actually did something wrong and thus want to hide it
2. Everyone is optimizing for likes and branding all the time
3. Someone being blamed for being a creep automatically knows the right thing to do in that situation
Seems reasonable to me that someone could post a legitimate screenshot. (Note this doesn’t imply anything about whether they did something wrong or whether the app is ethical, just that the screenshot could likely be real)
>men with hundreds of thousands of followers have no reason to post a screenshot that shows that women have used an app to report them as creeps.
lol have you paid attention the conservative man-o-sphere? Victimhood is a major component. That is, quite literally, the brand of most conservative men trying to build an online presence/brand.
Is it really so unbelievable that such a thing could have happened? Or that men are unhappy about a giant, unaccountable, anonymous libel machine pointed directly at them?
