Everything they've taking away, especially ethnicity filter yet there asking $39.99 ,A MONTH for unlimited now
RIDICULOUS

Because politics got in the way, now finding your type of men according to ethnicity seems racist to Grindr!

So you need to suffer to find your type so Grindr won't see you racist! AND you have limited number of views and profiles to search... AND you CAN ONLY purchase the full version if we "GRINDR" reflect GRINDR and GAY APP on your credit\bank statement, we just don't care if you are living in a country that is against gays and LGBT in general...

Hey Marc and all.

I fully agree that the Grindr Management do not care about the gay customers.

I have written many complaints to them and only get i whissy-washy repliy from.

I suggested they send out a questback to all customers making a proper survey of the actual need of 1. ethenity filter. 2. gender filter.

instead the Grindr Management only sends us numerous almost daily offers for upgrade..

why you think that ??

the Grindr Management only think about income - they do not care they bought a gay app. they only want more income and fuck the gay community that actually are the reason Grindr was worth purchasing.

i have cancelled my grindr subscription end june and will not upgrade my membership again before the change the filters and supporting the gay world - not the trans world.

i dont mind gay trans men but i hate the socalled “straight men” who hides their gay/bi side by searching trans.

so i come to the fact right now that the Grindr Management and owner should go fuck each other and sell Grindr off to a gay organisation.

Considering Grindr isn't reading these comments, I would suggest that users who feel discriminated against by the deletion of this filter, i.e. the very same users Grindr deleted this filter for, log an incident/write a complaint to Grindr directly, not on here. Once Grindr receives thousands of emails from ethnic minority users then maybe they might do something.

I 100% agree with you Nene. As a minority myself, you've expressed all my thoughts perfectly in your comment. Sometimes I just want to find others that are like myself. Ironically, the lack of an ethnicity filter makes me feel even more alienated, because now I can't even find people to talk to and I am surrounded by people who either aren't interested in me (not complaining by the way, it's totally cool if I'm not their type) or vice versa, I'm not interested in them because they aren't what I'm looking for. So I'm just. Alone, lol.

Yes. Grindr already in it’s self, based on your area can be a space for a lot of non minorities which can make it harder finding a decent and genuine connection with someone as a minority. Most times those non-minorities have an ethnicity preference of themselves… typically their own kind unless they are fetishizing those outside of their race or genuinely open to meeting all kinds of people. Initially Grindr getting rid of the ethnicity filter is more of an advantage for non-minorities as they are able to source one another easily based on the fact they are usually grouped together largely in common areas. Making the whole Grindr explore page solely just consist of them. While those select few minorities within those spaces can’t search for others like themself or others period due to those other pages being too spread out and not appearing on the explore page since the non-minorities filled all the spaces. Generally speaking for instance when people are asked “their” type they are quick to usually come with an answer that somewhat foreshadows race. For instance if someone’s type is blondes > that is a clear indication of attraction or preferences towards white. Or say Someone’s type is “dread heads” that is a clear indication their type is steering towards black. Over all I give that example to say if this is genuinely an example how people address their interest towards people based off phenotype and features that are only and most times naturally present based on race then an ethnicity filter in that case would not be racist since it would validate the fact that a lot of peoples “type” can and subconsciously can go by race. Which I feel as though I as a minority should and cannot deem that as racist because with or without the filter people are going to still like what they like, just with the filter people will access what they like easier and quicker with out having to waste tons of time. I feel as though prior to getting rid of the ethnicity filter i Grindr should have hosted a vote to ask minorities rather or not they found it to be racist and continue to either proceed with us having that filter based on the saying

Congratulations Grindr
You succeeded in making this app 98% white guys
SO WHO'S TGECREAL RACIST ?
GRINDR IS

yeah...

...honestly?

at the end of the day, removing the ethnicity filter truly was a meaningless, non-effectual gesture on grindR's part

because, those who are gonna discriminate (due to their prejudice / bias), are gonna discriminate regardless

not having the filter there to intervene merely adds one more step to that inevitable 𝙀𝙭𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 of theirs

with that said: i'm telling you guys categorically, grindR is 𝐍𝐎𝐓 restoring the filter

it has been over two years now

so..
..the best thing we can do at this point, is collectively stop paying grindR for what is largely shit-tier "service" anyway,
and use a blocker to nuke all the obnoxious adverts those sons of bitches bombard us with, for every little action

the only thing the c-suites of any 𝚕𝚊𝚛𝚐𝚎 𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚏𝚒𝚝 understand is their loss of income, their own (violent, gruesome) deaths, and their own pain — beyond these, those greedy bastards could not care less if the very world around them burned to the ground

Exactly. Thank you

i would like you to watch my livestream when i kill myself because grindr banned my account for no reason.they took away my happiness.

The same request, it would be good to restore the filter. This will help you better orient yourself in studies. It is still worth using support https://www.academicghostwriter.org/hire-essay-ghostwriter/ It will make the learning process a little easier and more useful.

Removing the filter (while noble and i understand the thought process) doesnt actually change much imo. If you were to message someone who isnt “interested” in you regardless, nothings going to happen. Having the filter for me DOES help me find other gay people though — and it used to be my go to to find other asians in my predominantly white neighborhood. The ethnicity filter removal has hindered me more than helped

I literally just want to find other gay asians to talk to. The ethnicity filter used to help me do that.

Sexual racism is racism, developed primarily from visual stimuli during adolescence.

It’s important to educate the gay population about this prejudice even if they wish to hide it under the term ‘preference.’

Please restore ethnic filter. We all have different preferences . We all don't like the same thing.

@e e

You lost all credibility by including gender. You do realize that the vast majority of Grindr's users are GAY MEN, right? I.e., cis men attracted to other cis men. You are seriously trying to tell us that we all need to include women and female-presenting men in our dating/sexual choices, otherwise we are prejudiced? GTFOH with your nonsense and stop trying to police other people's sexual orientation.

Oh eff off. A) Grindr isn’t going to “fix” anything. B) They are NOT reading these, nor do they care C) Not everyone views this as your supposed “problem”. We’re gonna fuck who we want to fuck, where we want to fuck, and when we want to fuck.

Get a fucking life, people!

There are hot people of every ethnicity, gender, body type, etc etc. Filtering out makes you less likely to confront and test your own prejudices which is what socialising should be about.

When your preferences or prejudices excludes other humans, you are a bigot.

When you try to confront your prejudice and identify it’s source, you may be useful to society.

Most gay men are sadly mired in self-hate, racism, sexism, transphobia and are too afraid that they’ll be found out, and the comments here prove this.

It’ll take centuries of successive anti-hate campaigns such as removing filters for this to disappear.

Porn videos and websites have had separate "ethnic" categories for DECADES. Where has all the outrage been over that? That's right, it's all new FAKE outrage so that you hypocrites get the attention and validation that you desperately crave on social media. Nothing more, nothing less. It's getting old and you sound pathetic. Get a hobby or something.
