An error message appears saying "The following are not allowed: no zionist, no zionists" when users try to add the phrase to their bios, but any number of other phrases about political and religious preferences are allowed.

    I was able to add “Zionist” to my profile (without “no”), however, and could also add any phrase I could think of: “no Arabs,” “no Blacks,” “no Palestinians,” “no Muslims,” “no Christians,” “no Jews,” “no trans,” “no Republicans,” “no Democrats,” and so on. “No Zionist[s]” was the only phrase that was blocked in my testing.

    damn, that’s pretty explicit. I guess the logic is that if the zionazis feel unblowable, it might undermine the entire project.

          Adolf Hitler rises from the dead

          Commits a second holocaust, targeting antizionist Jews

          The second holocaust is deemed not to have happened because the Jews in question were antizionist

          Risen Adolf Hitler is deemed not an antisemite

          SHORT OF RISING FROM DEATH, TELL ME THIS SOUNDS IMPOSSIBLE!

    edit: the article is wrong about who owns Grindr. sold to Beijing Tech group in from 2016-2018, but the USA forced them to sell it back to the USA in 2020. it’s now owned by a US investment group.

        We need good old American men getting railed by good old American dick through good old American ingenuity.

      Or even substitute in identically-shaped Cyrillic letters. Ziоnist looks like Zionist but probably won’t trigger the censor because Cyrillic о is not the same character as the Latin o.

      Check it out, try to ctrl f any of these letters: АВСЕНКМОРТХУ асеорху

          I was able to get the word ‘dick’[1] past the censor on OKCupid recently, so I can report it still works on at least one dating/hookup site.


          1. not in a sexual way, it was “don’t be a dick” ↩︎

          It’s funny, I’ve gotten accusations of bigotry in my grindr profile for saying “No-one DL”. I intended it solely as a way to avoid men who cheat on their spouses, I don’t want any part of that. But I’ve been accused of being bigoted towards people in cultures where being openly queer is uncommon or even dangerous.

            yeah I’ve seen that argument but it’s dumb because it boils down to “not sleeping with me means you hate me”

            No dude I just don’t want to be involved in your secret gay bullshit. Not only am I almost certainly being complicit in cheating (most of these guys are married with children too) but you’re guaranteed emotional unavailability with higher chances of domestic violence.

            I will always fight to improve cultural outlook and I do empathize and feel bad for those guys who feel like they need to live a double life; that sounds exhausting. It doesn’t mean I need to entertain their “forbidden” lust.
