As an app originally intended and still almost exclusively used for and by men interested in other men, to now have scores of female profiles and transgender individuals who clearly don’t fit the crowd and stick out like ingrown toe nails, is both extremely obnoxious & moderately offensive, and also indicates that Grindr’s current owners aren’t taking their true base of customers seriously anymore, if they ever did. That they now allow people who aren’t gay or bi MEN to sign up at all is more proof of this. Furthermore, when the majority of profiles are faceless and stay that way, and refuse to share their face pics even in private chat, it makes one wonder why there’s suddenly so much fewer authentic, openly gay MEN on an app made for the same! Grindr didn’t used to be like this until it came under new ownership, and I for one don’t like how it’s become. Requiring face pictures also eliminates the issue of Gestapo pieces of garbage coming onto the app so they can collect pictures and information about specific individuals, and maybe even gay men generally, in some cases. Grindr’s ownership needs a wake up call, unless they plan to rebrand their business to target women, trannies, and fucking dirty cops (including dirtbag federal agents).
