    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

      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.

    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.”

      What they have is a serious misogyny problem and a fairly strong lysistratite movement. It’s called 4B and while I have issues with aspects of it I’m generally sympathetic to the organized denial of reproductive labor until conditions improve.

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