Tinder's Height Filter Sparks Outrage: Short Users Feel Discriminated Against
Tinder's new height filter sparks debate: Is it fair or discriminatory? Dating app Tinder is currently trialing a new feature that allows users to filter potential matches based on height. This has generated significant controversy, with many users criticizing the filter as discriminatory against shorter individuals. "The feature is still in the trial phase and will reportedly be behind a paywall," reports a news presenter from Australia's Sunrise program. This means that only paying subscribers will have access to this height filtering option. The backlash has been swift and widespread, with many users taking to social media to express their outrage. One user commented, "It's over for short men. What are they going to do now?" This highlights the emotional impact of the filter on those who feel excluded. While Tinder has not yet commented officially on the controversy, the introduction of a height filter raises important questions about inclusivity and fairness in online dating. The decision to place it behind a paywall further exacerbates concerns about equity of access. The ongoing trial and user feedback will be crucial in determining the future of this divisive feature.
