You can believe that it's bad for people overall, certainly - friends with benefits type things require greater than zero management to avoid running into problems, and as with any type of relationship, not everybody is as good at handling it as one might like.
But I was talking 'toxic' as in the 'toxic masculinity' comment, which is a fairly specific thing and I don't see in evidence here.
Plus, I mean, trying to frame it as an 'evil male' thing (which you didn't but was what I was responding to) seems to me silly given women can enjoy casual sex too - and intending to find somebody suitable for the long term doesn't mean your libido doesn't exist -now- so it's perfectly possible to have short term impulses that are separate from your long term goals without them interfering with each other.
(I -do- think there are people who interpret sex positivity in exceedingly stupid ways that can be actively harmful in application, but I don't think this app is responsible for that since that's a decades old problem and in the end you kinda have to accept that other people are their own person and allowed to make decisions you're sure are a terrible idea ... much though I grumble when it's one of my friends about to blow their own foot off ...)
