    Yeah that’s fucked. If you are going to let people say “No Christians” or “No Muslims” then “No Zionists” ought to be allowed.

        My autistic ass is going to be nitpicky as well. Zionism deals directly with people who identify with a religion and where they ought to live. I mean it also vaguely alludes to aspects of jewish ethnicity’s since zionism likely also is concerned with athiest but ethnically jewish people unless I am mistaken. There is a lot wrapped up in it.

        Also religions have specific outcomes they desire as well.

        Regardless, my point people should be allowed to be anti-zionist on Grindr if they can be anti-other-vaguely-equivalent-things.

        Every single religion has extremists. Make a religion, you just made reliigious extremists. Support a religion, you support the same religion as religious extremists are supporting.

        Religions support politics, and politicians, . They have to do that to achieve theocracy.

        Every single religion tries to pull this bullshit. christians? Yep. muslims? Yep. jewish? Yep. hindu? Yep. It never ends. Keep religion very far away from everything, always. It ruins everything it touches.

    You guys are all conspiracy theorists.

    What actually happened: someone who knew someone at Grindr said “man, anti-zionism is really gaining ground on Grindr, huh?” The Grindr employee said “Huh?” “Oh yeah, its like on every other profile.” “Huh…”

    Then a few employees chat about it, until someone mentions it to their ad exec, who says “HWAT???” The ad exec knows that the Israeli government is committing war crimes - but they also know that as soon as the right wing media picks up on this, Grindr will become the “the secret deviant app for jew-hating gay nazis”, and they DO NOT want to spend their weekend handling that shit storm.

    Hence the rule.

    You can still say “Pro Palestine” in your bio.
