    Hey your take seems reasonablish if you consider the website in question to be equivalent to the ones you listed. But are they? The hate seems pretty woven into the fabric of this website.

      It probably comes down to being the majority race/ethnicity/whatever. I’d guess a Japanese-only site in Japan would fill with raging bigots pretty quickly, too. Like, there’s no innocent reason to go on WhiteDate when every dating app is the white dating app. (And FWIW JDate allows gentiles)

      Journalists using data obtained by other people’s illegal acts is nothing new, and has saved democracy’s bacon in some cases. Nor is whatever news program doxxing wrongdoers.

        I think it’s worse than it just being the dominant culture. The platform talks about europid vision, allows people to select “fascist” and “national socialist” as their political leanings. And it basically presents great replacement theory as the reason it’s needed.

      I’ve honestly no clue, personally, as I’ve only used fairly main stream options. I don’t know, for example, if the racist stuff on that white site is more or less extreme than the racist stuff on the other sites.

      But I mean, jdate is in that list. And Jews aren’t exactly a tolerant people these days, what with Israel’s genociding and racial superiority narratives being so tied to that ‘race’ etc. And there are lots of Asians who’re openly racist towards non-Asian (or even other asians!) people too. And I mean, FN are often openly hostile towards white people, “colonials”. By percentage, given the white site had like 500 people on it, which is like less than 0.001e-5% of Canada’s population, I really wouldn’t want to make a wager as to which of these racially segregated dating sites is more racist to those outside their target demo.

        I don’t think you should be making generalisations about Jews based on the actions of Israel.

        Your comments about racism in other communities are a deflection. Because we aren’t talking about what race is least racist, we’re talking about hatred baked into dating platforms. This is a platform that talks about europid vision, presents great replacement theory as a justification for its existence, and allows people to select fascist and national socialist as their political alignment. It’s a Nazi safe space, but Nazis don’t deserve to feel safe.
