So are you saying that Tinder doesn't charge more for these cohorts?
- jevoten 5y agoYou keep repeating that, but did anyone say that?
- literalsunbear 5y agoI guess I'm just curious as to what would compel someone to be so pedantic about something like this, unless they're just that willing to go to bat for a company who is obviously discriminating against these groups.
- jevoten 5y agoI don't consider explaining motivations as "going to bat" for someone.
- literalsunbear 5y agoPerhaps it's not useful to point out the obvious that discriminatory practices can be tightly coupled with economic practices. Explaining it away as "well they're just catering to a certain demographic" doesn't negate the fact that it's literal discrimination, especially when it's obfuscated to the extent that actual journalism has to bring it to light.
- kryogen1c 5y agoim saying that if they are, there are reasonable explanations besides bigotry.
