the Giggle controversy Anonymous 09/18/2020 (Fri) 15:54:40 No. 2052

for those who don't know giggle is a social media app developed by Sall Grover, It was a a platform meant for women only, the app was sorta revolutionary in that it would do a facial recognition scan to confirm the gender of those who wanted to join it, this angered TRAs and TIMs cause it "invalidated" them but Grover defended her stance and redfems and gender critical feminists rallied behind her but recently there has been some controversy,1) is that Sall Grover is not a radfem and doesn't want politics on her app, she wants it to be drama free, 2) issue is that giggle allows sex work as one of its networking options for women helping women, she seems to in the sex work is work camp and lastly she is kinda of a power tripping mod who bans women for even minor complaints against her

I am numb to the libfemmery of a lot of mainstream "women supporting women" initiatives, so I am not surprised that sex work would be one of the options. I am conflicted because this could be used as undercover/lowkey madame and pimp shit, however it could also be a way for sex workers to post about tips to stay safe and maybe out dangerous clients? I don't know. That would have to be an extremely moderated section for it to be beneficial. I don't support the libfem narrative of sex work, but I understand that right now it exists and will continue to exist so you might as well have methods for sex workers to keep themselves and each other safe. However, wanting to keep politics off of that app? As if the mere existence of this kind of app isn't political. Lmao, good luck.

>>2053 I mean I get it, She just wants a drama free woman only space where women talk shit and relax and be free, a space away from political bullshit

i thought trans women were still allowed on the app? maybe i'm misremembering her tweets.

>>2058 Troons do get on the app thanks to the shoddy Facial recognition, however she refuses to update it and thinks there's nothing wrong with it cause she can't admit she screwed up.......so yeah

>>2059 It's probably because it has to make certain exceptions for mutations or most people wouldn't be able to use it

That app would be perfect if wasn't for the fact it is collecting and selling a shit-ton of your data including your images and sensitive information lol. Plus, a lot of scrotes still manage to get in it. I really want a plataform/space/way to discuss and talk with feminist women online in private, I don't even know if that's feasible though

>>2538 They sell your images? I took the absolute worst selfie of myself to get verified, I was all ill and snotty and uncombed as it was meant to be looked at by actual humans. I don't know what they'd want those selfies for. Mine will just scare them lol
