Looks like Grindr are setting up a trans version... but the name...

This is what turns me off the feminism boards. I’m not ‘being silly’. I’m staying an opinion.

In fact, the very worst thing about the name is that it will leave them open to accusations that its a front for paedophilia, when it is not. Such a poorly thought out choice of name which will engender suspicion when there need be none.......

Also you can't associate the word 'kind' with sex.

People must not be asked to have sex out of kindness.

Especially when they are routinely called bigots for their sexual orientation.

I mean, I honestly don't have enough durs here.

Don't be silly. I'm delighted they're setting up a dating app.

But you can't, in all conscience, calll it Kindr.

You just can't.

But how does it discredit mumsnet users even if it is a wind-up?

Nobody has posted anything controversial on this thread.

Just a general bewilderment. How does that discredit mumsnet?

Put it this way, if it is true they will be crucified.

I have been very gender critical but I can’t understand why you don’t leave trans people alone to set up their own dating app. They are being open and upfront. I have no problem with this and don’t doubt for a second that they mean kinder in the ‘ more pleasant’ sense. Why pour scorn?

It can't be true. You might as well call it toddler.

This must be fake news in a bid to discredit mumsnet readers. There is no way anyone would consider calling a hook up service kindr

Yeah I’m somewhat sceptical of this - hold fire until this is confirmed. I mean frankly not that anything would shock me any more but this seems like a wind up. Surely?

I've seen the tweet & watched the 10/15 second clip of a shoulder sparkling with glitter. It's real. Prick news also have a feature on it too, but I'm not linking (won't give them the clicks).

Someone is desperately trying over on twitter

If you don't believe me google lantia or inter-racial porn. The most racist material available on the internet - happy as your like because you can do anything you want if it's a kink...

I hear more of the wheedling teen boys "go ooonnn pleeeease you might like it? How do you know if you won't try it" etc etc

"Come on, pleeeese. I'll be quick"

(Men Behaving Badly).

My guess matches yours datun. Whoever it is, they're really not the sharpest tool, are they?

This must be fake news in a bid to discredit mumsnet readers.
There is no way anyone would consider calling a hook up service kindr - it is so wrong!

Re dating prefences / sex orientation being "unkind" -

I hear more of the wheedling teen boys "go ooonnn pleeeease you might like it? How do you know if you won't try it" etc etc

Sorry emoji fail my auto correct is in over drive

Does seem a bit...... ill considered. Although based on that snippet up thread also potentially sinister [envy

Dating preferences are not bigoted. Having sex with other races doesn't mean anything - look at all the mixed race babies born during slavery. Look at modern day sex trafficking.

If you don't find someone attractive don't have sex with them. Easy.

Is it Monroe Bergdorf?

OP that screen grab you posted is so so sickening. But how will it ever be accepted? There could never be consent!

This has to be a wind up surely?

I thought it was satire but no it's what? Really bad market research or really good market research

So who do we reckon is the 'face' of this new campaign, from the little snippet at the start of the thread? Who would think this was a great campaign to get behind, a kind of SJW for the masses & stunning/brave, ready to take on anyone they felt needed to be called out on transgressions?

Any guesses?
