China Disappears Grindr

Grindr Disappears

In a follow up to their crackdown on TV sissy-men, China has banned gay dating app Grindr.

Grindr was removed from Apple’s app store in China on Thursday, according to data from app analytics site Qima. Grindr has also been banned from Android app stores run by Chinese phone makers like Tencent and Huawei, Bloomberg reported.

Apple told The Post that Grindr removed its app from the App Store, not Apple. Grindr confirmed that it removed its app.

The removals came days after China’s Cyberspace Administration announced a new censorship push to create a “civilized, healthy, festive and peaceful atmosphere for online public opinion” ahead of the winter Olympic games, which kick off on Friday.

The crackdown is targeting online pornography, gambling and the promotion of “money worship” among other perceived ills, the internet regulator said.

No wonder so many Conservatives are marching to the neocon drumbeat against China. If the Chinese are already this based, just imagine what will happen when they’re majority Christian.

    The furries better be next.

  2. Erm. The neocons are patsies for rushing to war against China. That much I understand. But I was under the impression that this was because China’s current military would eat ours alive, not because China is saner than we are and military action against them would therefore be a blow against sanity. I can’t quite connect the dots here.

      The problem is that aren’t any “good guys” on the International playing field. These days, the only teams that you can root for are:

      > The Beijing Atheists.
      > The Kabul Pedophiles.
      > The Washington Pedophile-Satanists.
      > The Moscow Drunkards.

      So instead of picking a side and feeling inevitably disappointed, it’s best to just pray for everyone.

      As bad as America’s present military is, you must recall that China is always, always, always projecting more strength than it has. While it’s certainly not a small threat, the Chinese military probably wouldn’t do well against America even now (admittedly this is mostly because their Navy is bad), plus their soldiers have zero combat experience. Remember that as bad as the West is, China has plenty of its own problems – it’s just better at hiding them.

    As an aside, China’s Christians often get overlooked by Westerners (for obvious reasons). WhatifAltHist, a reasonably-decent alternate history Youtuber, did a series predicting the ideological futures of various countries, and completely ignored the possibility of Christianity in China. He either was totally ignorant of it or thought of it as impossible and not even worth mentioning. This was one of my first warnings that the guy was unreasonably biased against Christianity, the final blows being his two most absurd assertions. First was that “modern science disproves Abrahamic religions so nobody can really believe them seriously anymore”, and the second was that “Early Christianity didn’t believe in sin and was just about love and stuff, then Augustine came and made it nasty and judgmental by importing a bunch of ideas from Manicheanism, even though he hated Manicheanism by this point.” Both are ideas he’s stated as simple facts on multiple occasions. At least he recognises the contribution of Christianity to Western civilisation, but still.

      Today I saw it claimed that monotheism did not exist anywhere until the “Roman Church” invented it. Yes, the guy seriously did claim that Israel had been polytheistic for its entire history.

      The level of awareness of history and religion was already laughably bad twenty years ago. But there’s no floor; people will continue to believe more and more absurd things until eventually Christendom returns (whether that happen through a western reform or, as is more likely at this point, missionary work from Asia and Africa.)

        “Archaeological digs show Hebrew temples and shrines to pagan gods in ancient Palestine. This proves the Bible wrong about the Hebrews.”
        Me: “Have you ever read…anything between Exodus and Malachi?”

    • Modernists never could defeat the Church’s intellectual tradition through honest argument. Instead, they figured out they could just take over the media and repeat the bogus claim that they’d debunked the Church until most people uncritically swallowed their nonsense.

      The real flaw with Vatican II was the Church’s assumption that Late Moderns were at all interested in good-faith dialogue.

    I wrote a thread on the difference between amoral China / Singapore and immoral progressivism:

    https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1465498684741746694.html

    The difference lies in the object of worship within the society. I call it a contest between babel (the state as god) and babylon (literal state sponsored satan worship).

    Babelism / the state cult is sinful because it exalts the state to the level of God. That said, a functioning society must be based on true and universal Christian moral values. Therefore, babelism and the state cult will espouse and promote those values to keep a functioning society, but purely for instrumental purposes.

    That makes babelism “less evil” than the satan worshipping progressive cult of the west, but it doesn’t mean that babelism is not sinful and to be celebrated
