Is it only me, or does every guy here look the same? Missing diversity…

😂😂 I been saying this... there's a colorism here that isn't being addressed by the creators.. and it's a shame because diversity really makes experiences vibrant, vivid, and! It's addressable... like you can make conscious choices about it.... 🙃

@juvenlee_surrealart I totally agree! And I guess the creators don’t wanna be a part of stereotyping the gay community. Speaking for me, I love diversity in every possible way. Only white, ripped guys with beards and/or moustache in their underwear in bed or at the gym, really doesn’t appeal to me. So, maybe this is a Me-issue idk.

Tbh i think it’s the algorithm & the fact that it’s invite only rn meaning influencers & known creators get access early. These are obviously all more or less the same type of

@bxns Yeah, that’s possible! Makes me sad though if that’s the only kind of influencers and profiles that they invite. Makes me lose hope a bit for our community. But I see that you’re not the stereotyped guy with a beard at least. Danke 🥰

@dlara95 So very true! 😂 And I really don’t fancy guys with facial hair 😇

@solovaktmstare yeah that’s true, I think it’s pushing stereotypes more than they should… makes the app sorta boring after a while with the lack of diversity :/

@bxns Exactly! People gonna lose interest if they only see the same typ of guys, the top-of-the-hierarchy-ones.

I really thought it was because I was just new here and my app needed time to calibrate! Lol I was hoping that I didn’t know how to use this app, but I’m starting to feel like I’m at the wrong party

@nateiscool it'll calibrate.. tbh you'll kinda miss the thirst traps once it does, for me at least 🙄😂 I rarely see thirst on my feed unless it's the people I'm following which... like- good for them, yknow haha

@juvenlee_surrealart If I were into thirst I would be on Grindr. I’m more into serious ltr, but I start to feel that I’m quite alone about that. Thought that this might be an exception, but how wrong was I. It’s gay guys involved so what was I expecting 😳🙄

@solovaktmstare aww haha.. the algorithm will calibrate, but... the diversity ... like for my feed I get a lot of faces, art stuffs, pictures of places, rarely any thirst...... for ltr stuffs; ... the colorism is still very apparent however..... for the selfies coming through.. if that makes sense...) ..stuffs... there's a solid representation of that.. for example we're married monog... there's a few of us on here.. so little thirst on my feed, but yeah.. 'Collective' is strange lol GL!
