imnotyourbabe10 6,093 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Why does Grindr have a YouTube channel? Call me old fashioned but gay culture has really taken a nosedive lately (I’m not saying the past was any better but I’m certainly not “happy in this modern world”) But the video is charming. The elderly are too marginalized in the US and deserve recognition. But even the video title is offensive “old gays”. Bruh! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorcerer92 837 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 This was such a fun clip. The "older" gays (I hate using that term cause it has such negative connotations) have so much to teach us. I love when I was out at the bar and they'd strike up a conversation with me; the stories they can share are so inspiring. I wish the community respected them more.

It’s mostly very harmless LGBT content that they post, it’s not a p*rn channel lmao. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

imnotyourbabe10 6,093 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Just responding to those that asked questions about my post. In my understanding, Grindr has been problematic, especially with racism: https://www.out.com/news/2019/9/16/racism-grindr-bad-your-brain In addition (and I'm only speaking from personal experiences with myself and friends), I've heard nothing but horror stories about racism, internalized homophobia, body shaming, obsession with the binaries of top/bottom or masc/fem. It looks like Grindr has removed their ethnicity filter, though? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52886167 So maybe they are making progress. I just really hate how the gay male community is hyper-sexualized. Look, I'm no prude and I even think sex work should be legal and regulated, but our community over-sexualizes itself. Grindr was not a need but instead a commodification of a community for big-tech and capitalism. So these are some of the reasons I think the gay dating apps are a bit problematic. They play into a lot of base instincts, harmful steroetypes and are a breeding ground (no pun intended, lol) for the issues above. I guess I don't understand why they are moving into YouTube -- or why it exists at all. Instead of calling them "old gays," maybe "elderly men" "older gay men," "gay seniors". Maybe it's just my own connotation but "old gays" just sounds kind of harsh. Hope that answers some questions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
