I have never met as much racism, as in the gay community. Being Asian growing up was tough, but coming out into the gay scene was absolutely horrible. It scarred me for life. I do love that Asian culture, with anime, manga and K-Pop in the lead, is finally starting to get bigger in the western world

So… can we agree on that Collective is as superficial as any other social media app? Maybe more even, if you look at everybody’s photos… Why does everyone look like models or OF people? I had so much hope for this app but… nah.
