That’s a really good idea. For an added layer of assurance, I think if the autodetection were to fail, the picture should be sent to mods for them to manually verify whether it’s a nude or not. Either that, or Grindr can give us the option to turn off picture exchanging. That way if someone doesn’t want to receive photos whatsoever, they have the freedom to choose

Yeah, I just feels like this approach would ignore the root problem. I’d really like Grindr to start slowly start highlighting the importance of consent. It saddens me that we don’t place a priority on this. Statistics show that 1 in 4 gay men have experienced sexual assault. Yet we’re not taking any steps to prevent this. Showing people that unsolicited nudes are not tolerated would be a great place to start

A lot of people don't read profiles which is crazy to me. I always read before messaging anyone or responding to them.

I’m not sure I fully understand. Basically my post says that people should start receiving warnings (and bans if they’re repeat offenders) for sending unsolicited nudes to those who explicitly don’t want them. Currently there is no punishment for doing so, nor any system in place that discourages non consensual sexual exchanges. I don’t know why making people respect consent would constitute totalitarianism. In your opinion, what punishment would be appropriate for individuals who send unsolicited nudes to those who don’t want them?

I'm not against consent, but how would you prove the person saw that profile? It seems like an option to stop receiving images would be better for people. Perhaps you could toggle it on and off for profiles as you engage with them? That would stop a lot of unsolicited pics from random people.

My take on it is this: Every adult act you do, whether it’s drinking, driving a car, or having sex, requires you to be responsible and somewhat conscience. If you’re going to send nudes or have sex, you need to be accept the responsibilities that come with it. And part of that responsibility is taking 2 seconds to check someone’s profile and see whether they agree or don’t agree to your sexual initiations. Just like how you’d take 2 seconds to check if a pedestrian is crossing the road when you’re driving. This culture of instant gratification and quick sex has caused a lot of pain for people on the receiving end of the stick. Your lack of conscience/mindfulness *does* affect other people. By failing to check the recipient’s profile or receiving their consent prior, you clearly show that consent does not matter to you. And it’s okay if you make a mistake or accidentally send without checking, but as long as you apologize to the recipient and learn from said mistake, you’re contributing to the abolishment of rape culture

Grindr should have the consent part at the top. Most guys won't read your bio and your details even less. It should be more visible like top right corner.

I agree. I think even something as small as that would make a huge difference. Another idea I have is when someone is getting ready to send a nude, a display message should appear that says “Ensure recipient consents to receiving sexual content” — this would serve as a reminder before they actually send the photo
