Women on the Tea App Are Red-Flagging Men for Liking Pokémon

I don't care. Why would you want to be with a woman who isn't accepting of pop culture?
Even grandmas play Pokemon Go GTFO of here.
It's more about their hobby of defamation and libel.
You're dumb
So is smoking but as long as they don't blow the smoke it my face it doesn't bother me.
The data these women are spilling on men is outrageous, they’re putting up full names, birthdays, photos that often identify addresses and making claims that are straight up defamatory.
It needs to be shut down as the users have no right to be sharing others information in this way.
Before anyone throws around accusations I’m married and I’m not featured on this disgusting app.
If men did the same thing to women, people would have a much different reaction.
And I get that sexism makes it completely reasonable for women to act differently and/or defend themselves but that's not what this is.
They require video or id confirmation. It's creepy as hell. Either a "video selfie" or give photo id
Rage bait. Yes, the app is creepy, but the first actual quote the article gives is in this paragraph:
And then there’s the phrase. Post after post across the app uses some version of the same line: “he collects women like Pokémon cards.”
None of the quotes truly support the headline, imo.
Also, that app is creepy af and should probably be illegal on privacy grounds.
Yeah, that part really shows the entire methodology of the article is bullshit.
And then there’s the phrase. Post after post across the app uses some version of the same line: “he collects women like Pokémon cards.” That’s not a joke somebody made once. That’s the app’s house insult, used so often it might as well ship with the keyboard. The man on the receiving end doesn’t even have to play. You could have never touched a card in your life and still catch this one.
They're proving that this instance of a negative mention of Pokemon doesn't even have to do with someone being interested in the hobby which is the entire premise of the article. But they never mention filtering for this, and then just go on to say that liking Pokemon is the worst hobby stats wise. Not that I'm expecting perfect methodology for something like this, but this is a pretty fucking glaring issue they even openly admit but somehow don't see the problem with it.
Saying someone collects women like Pokemon cards is just an insult about someone being a player, it doesn't have anything to do with someone's hobbies. It could easily be said as collecting women like any other commonly collected item.

Is there a dating app just for geeks and nerds? Easy as hell to find like-minded men; I haven't talked to any like-minded women since high school. I don't really like hanging out with super serious people. They never laugh at my jokes.
It has an fdroid application and their whole thing is about being open source and ad free, so I assume the people using it are one of us

*edit
the app is a waste of time, fails to create an account but you can on the website. then fails to log in.
stick to the website and create a webapp for it
conventions and pen and paper rpg groups are the best bet.
The app is women-only. If you’re a man, you can’t download it, can’t search it, and can’t respond to anything on it.
So ... what's stopping men from setting up a burner device, pretending to be a woman, and using the app?
Hell, for that matter, it would probably be very beneficial to set up some sock-puppet accounts to post glowing 'green flag' reviews of yourself.
I guess, if you're that into the waspish drama-queens that gossip more than breathe, sure. Got a thing for Karens, Jessicas, et al?
It would be really nice if this could exist without being petty. I dated a guy who lied to me about having been in jail for nearly two decades for beating his mother to death, and I would love to be able to warn others about him. I have a google alert set up for his name and got a ping a few years ago that he was arrested for violating a restraining order taken out by the woman he dated after me and felt awful that I wasn’t able to warn her.
It’s both predictable and annoying that people are using it to be petty, but the concept is still useful, even if some use it in a way I find shallow. I don’t think it’s wild to imagine that some women would see this report and take it as a green flag. I met up with my husband for the first time after we matched on a dating app to play magic the gathering with him, so I know that some women look for nerds when dating. I previously went on a date with a different guy to play magic (I like seeing how someone plays, wins, and loses, plus it’s a low pressure first date activity that helps ease conversation), and he showed me his Khorne tattoo. He said he just really identified with the character when I asked why he had chosen Khorne, and I absolutely took that as a red flag, not because it’s nerdy, but because I don’t want to date someone who identifies with Khorne.
I would 100% support a twin app for men about women, to be clear, and I don’t know what the solution would be for non cishetero dating, but I wouldn’t be against any of them.
Don't take the actions of random bitches on a social media site any more seriously than their existence on any other site
Show me a reality where it doesn't devolve into a platform for stalking.
I can see that, and if this were the only way for people to look up a member of the public without them having created a public profile, I wouldn’t support it. It would be much easier to stalk someone through the websites where you can input a phone number and get all the associated addresses and additional contact information, though. In jurisdictions where those are allowed, I think the information shared on this type of platform is much less useful for stalking and more useful for legitimate purposes.
Although I would be curious about how a platform like this would work legally in a jurisdiction with solid privacy laws.
I’m not sure how to do it in a way that can’t be abused, sadly. My instinct is that maybe domestic violence (DV) crimes should be public knowledge - i.e. offenders, offences and sentences (but not victim information) should be on a publicly searchable database - but I’m not sure what unintended consequences there might be to this. My gut tells me that women reporting DV might experience more backlash from violent partners because reporting the DV puts the offender on a ‘list’, and that maybe it could encourage some abusers to vexatiously make false accusations to try to get someone on the list, but I don’t know how likely either of those would be. There’s not a simple solution, but we need to keep searching for the difficult solution because the status quo leads to way too many women dying at the hands of current or former partners.
In my country, an influencer set up such a website. Posts are manually reviewed and will link to the conviction decision. You can post domestic violence and sexual abuse perpetrators who have been committed. The court decisions are actually public data anyway, just a bit annoying to search.
likely only way is using your ID/facial recognition.
Chuds already did that, furious at the idea that women were talking to each other about men and even doing things they don't approve of.
Edit: awww the Lemmycels are mad ;)

I'm old so maybe not relevant, but I think all those dating apps are stupid.
One, the dating app provider doesn't want you to find a match because you'd stop using the app, they want endless engagent.
Two, I hear my younger coworkers and youth say they couldn't find a match, because none of them were good looking enough. So all the suggestions they ignored based on a picture. This really isn't how you find a good life partner, this skips interaction and personality connections that you get in live encounters.
this skips interaction and personality connections that you get in live encounters.
See, the problem is that those people aren't going out enough to interact with strangers. Men are increasingly unlikely to make a move because there's both the fear of rejection and the fear of an overreaction.
It's not a dating app, its for like exposing men and talking about it, only woman can join and its id verified, but all the woman ik discuss all that amongst themselves and don't need an app, they already have community. I guess it is for ppl who sleep with strangers using those apps? idk, will never be my problem lol.
I don’t know any single guys that collect Pokémon cards. I know two guys that collect Pokémon cards, are married and have children. Maybe women don’t want autistic children because likelihood of that is admittedly increased in this small sample. They’re missing out but you can’t force people to like something they don’t.
I’m sure if two people are dating and one says they like pokemon, it’s cool haha whatever. But if the dating profile is all the other person has to go off of, then they can make assumptions like, well he could be too childish or too nerdy, etc. lol
I'm not sure what you're being down votes for.
I assume people read your post as "people who collect pokemon cards are autistic " but i assumed it was the two people you know who collect cards and are married are both autistic hence mentioning your small sample size

Wasn't that the app that leaked a massive database of women's IDs?
Just checked, it happened twice. https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Tea_Dating_Advice
