How are there almost double the amount of genders vs orientations? That seems backwards.

with the right policies OK Cupid could double those gender and orientation counts over the next quarter. I believe in them!

av club is so loving bad, even by the standards of other "creating bad opinion content for clicks" sites

AV Club is explicitly about media and pop-culture though, so them publishing a dumb comparison of politics to a videogame/movie/book/album doesn't strike me as nearly as bad as a general purpose news/commentary site publishing a similar piece. If anyone is going to be publishing articles equating Donald Trump to Voldemort it ought to be them (or someone like them).

Pffft. 26 genders? Never gonna find someone to gently caress with that kind of specificity. Believe me, I know a thing or two about not loving. :smug:

i guess so, but i just hate the fact that they're doing it at all, especially since they did a good job of not shoehorning in political grandstanding until the middle of last year

The La Li Lu Le Lo is a codename for the Patriots. It represents the idea of controlling information by removing means to express ideas. La Li Lu Le and Lo being letters that don't exist in the Japanese alphabet.

yep, and after that they fired most of the regular contributors and replaced them with freelancers. that's also why they don't do nearly as many TV reviews

It was extremely woke for a while for companies like Facebook to basically allow anything to be put in as gender / orientation.

A lot of queer people use terms as a personal self-description rather than a clinical labelling, nothing wrong with that really.

Yeah but then why not just make the gender and orientation box blank and just let people type w/e they want in.

What if somebody put their gender as something like non-binary femme, and their orientation a gay? Does that mean the system will only match them with other people who listed their gender as non-binary femme?

Or what if you put down your orientation as "sapiosexual", how does the algorithm deal with that?

Officially there are 196 countries on earth, which means that they are recognizing all kinds of separatist de facto independent states. This could mean that Turkey and OkCupid are the only two entities in the world that recognize the independent sovereignty of Turkish Cyrus.
