Holy crap, I never thought about that. That's a whole different take on an assassin's teapot.

Well legal or not, in the EU there are Facebook groups like this for every city. So it seems to be a need for women to ensure their safety. Don’t understand what’s so controversial about that… it’s like cancel culture: when there are no legal repercussions to misbehaving stuff like this happens.

I'd suggest just buying a small frame pistol. Printing your own and making it work reliably takes a level of know-how and effort.

I'm gonna make up a bunch of stuff from anecdotes and pre conceived opinions

Luckily everyone everywhere in the world has the opportunity to buy guns and munition at their nearest supermarket.

Different boards on the site have different people. Some boards are somewhat maladjusted nerds with poor social skills like /tg/ others are more technical and home to the unhinged users

I don't like this app. I don't like the idea of this app. I think the whole thing was misguided.

But let me tell you of a time when I was younger and more festively slutty, I had a few encounters that might have made me a user. Not all men, no, but after the third time a dude threatens to rape you in a park, you start to wonder if you could be doing more to protect yourself.

Remember, ladies, these days you can print your own handguns and make them look like whatever you want.

I forgot about poison. Everyone should know it's super easy to make poison. Toad venom is so big right now I bet that's easy to get, too.

You understand why doxxing people is wrong.

Yep but I’d rather my loved ones be safe than hold on to moral high ground, if they can share information about dates they had in a private group I don’t see the harm.

Sex offender registry.

Surveillance by default never acceptable, not for "protection" of children, not for "protection" of women.

Lemmy at least has a misogyny problem and is openly hostile to women. I don't know how common that is to the Internet itself these days but it doesn't seem like a good sign, even once you accept that Lemmy specifically recruited Redditors.

I mean poison is cool AF, but turning the teapot into a gun, with a trigger in the handle.

Wait is that an assassins teapot?

BLAM

Yes, why yes it is.

I think it would be great to have an app that warns women about dangerous men. I don't think it's possible for that to exist though, it will ALWAYS be filled up by bitter people making things up so their ex has a harder time dating.

The vast majority of rapists are never even convicted, let alone end up on the registry.

People like you are exactly the reason why someone thought to make this app, if you ever went out of your parents basement.
