Tinder was advertised by that idol involved with the Burning Sun incident. I wouldn't want to be on that app either.

"Where should I fine my partner. I know! The app that was supported by the guy whose club was pretty much just a r*pe den. I'm sure I'll find the man of my dreams."

The "gay" option is probably removed from Korean Tinder from what I know about their government

Korea doesn't support gay people?

Same-sex relationships aren't criminalized, but that's a far cry from being supported

Dating in South Korea is rough in general, more than other Asian countries. Apparently it's devolved into a violent culture war. On one hand, it's no wonder women are unwilling to date. On the other hand, that's going to further fuel desperation and therefore extremist sentiment in men and further the downward spiral of the culture war.

I'm not saying that the male position is right here, but I genuinely do not see a possibility that the culture war stops spiraling

And as a woman I can’t see any reason to stop being so firm. It’s very reminiscent of actual strikes

I mean i agree that this culture war is not gonna stop anytime soon, but please dont blame the victims, its not their fault that this is spiraling out of control, nobody own incels a date. Its not the current protest that are adding fuel to the fire, its the incapability of theses men to accept no for an answer.

I've heard about the recent movement, but have no idea what the backstory is. Why are women so upset in south Korea?

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Women lose the ability to have a career as soon as there's a hint of a boyfriend. Employers check. They're expected to become mothers, and dedicate their life to taking care of their children, husband and household, while not really having any say in it.

It's even worse than that. There's a lot of sexual harassment and a plague of men taking upskirt photos.

Is this prevalent in Korea too? I had always heard it was more of a Japanese cultural issue, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was present in other countries in the region/world.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

It's even more of an issue in Korea these days.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

That's horrible , this mentality is horrible for everyone, hope that end soon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I wonder what protections they have. Japan has been fighting a similar thing and upping protections and their enforcement, but it's still not where it needs to be.

Moon Channel has videos explaining the historic and cultural context that has led to this:

Ranked competitive dating

It feels like that where I am in the US when you take into account all the bots.

There's sexy single bots in your area that want to chat

They're binary

Like a Korean slut disneyworld!

Does Korea have a huge gender imbalance in general?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago

No, but they do treat women like crap. I wouldn't be wanting to meet with random men if I were them, either.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Not as far as I know, but they make America's political division between the sexes look relatively sane by comparison

[–] Lemminary 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wonder if they use Tinder to make friends like they do in Japan. Afaik, Tinder isn't necessarily for dating over there.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

A lot of profiles will say things like "only looking for friends" and such, but that's more about image than reality in case someone else sees it (though, yes, everyone knows what is actually going on). There are people who do use it for friends, but it is (or at least was until I got married a few years ago) still used for its, er, intended purpose.

Might as well play lottery.
