So looks like Trump is finally going to make a move to regulate social media platforms as public utilities / public square after the coordinated Alex Jones shutdown... he should ban tinder while he's at it.
Gimlet said:It's a viral marketing stunt, brought to you by the same guy who did “10 hours of walking in NYC as a woman” a few years ago.
Of course the men who showed up don't know that.
Mass Tinder date was actually a marketing stunt
The Tinder user who duped hundreds of men into showing up at Union Square for a phony date Sunday was actually a stunt for a “viral marketing agency” — the same one that famously recorded hidden-camera footage of a woman being catcalled as she walked around New York City.
“We will be releasing a video Thursday that explains the entire project and story,” marketer Rob Bliss of Rob Bliss Creative told The Post.
Bliss, whose company “specializes in making viral video campaigns,” created the widely-shared “10 hours of walking in NYC as a woman” clip for an anti-harassment non-profit in 2014.
In his latest production, a model and actress named Natasha Aponte invited unwitting men she met on Tinder to the public square on Sunday for what they thought was a hot date.
Instead, the guys were gobsmacked when Aponte appeared on stage and revealed they were all there to date her — and she began dismissing those who didn’t meet her criteria and asking the others to battle it out in contests to win the actual date.
“Half of you people here are in relationships, so those people should leave now,” Aponte is shown telling the crowd in a video taken by a DJ at the event.
“Statistically, people who are on dating apps, half of them are in relationships. So those people should leave.”
“The first elimination is if you think you can support Trump and date a Puerto Rican, now’s the time to leave. If anyone’s a tourist or doesn’t live in this country, you should leave too. Also anyone named Jimmy. I don’t enjoy the name Jimmy,” she continued,.
Men with beer bellies, long beards, khakis and Toms shoes were also dismissed — before those still hoping for that date willingly competed in a running race.
Bliss wouldn’t reveal much more about the project, but said “no product or service of any kind” was involved, and that Aponte is a real single woman who is “passionate about this issue and has been harassed.”

The viral part is one thing, but the reality of the female-favored dating market are amazing.
And that is even a low-tier version of it. She could have gotten 1000 men if she promised a non-filmed gang-bang record. There would be a line waiting around several blocks.
Laugh it up harpies as long as you can - late stage Rome does not last forever.
Also - there were some attractive guys among them as well - many of the tall muscular good-looking blokes left almost instantly. Maybe some stayed for the distant chance of hate-fucking that bitch.

Captainstabbin said:The "Walking Around" video was supposed to show how women are sexually assaulted all day just walking around the city. What's the point of this one? That the vast majority of men on Tinder are just looking for a hookup. That thirsty dudes will allow themselves to be humiliated for a chance to talk to a 5. Like any of that is news.
Here's what I think. They're going to try to show that, after "winning" the competition, men expect things from women. Whether it's a date or sex, men feel entitled to a woman's time or body. It's another part of rape culture.
If it is twisted into something like that, imagine how disingenuous the original Walking Around video was.

Actually.... Nope.
I ALWAYS used to make them talk to me on video first. There's a lot of things you can hide over photo/text that come out very quickly over video.
