The founder was working in hollywood and moved back to au after years of sexual discrimination and harrassment, only to project all those big feelings onto transpeople.
oh and the app determined feeeeemaleness with an ai that basically would only identify whities as women lol
would you believe it
Racism? In my terfs?
Also i'd never thought to check linkedIn for anti trans people, but shockingly terfs are all professional as
I got on her app lmao
did it even stay up? I thought it got taken down after a security breach or one of her cis twitter warrior friends got denied by their AI or something
yeah it got taken down i think but i got on it when it first launched, the posts were awful
Does anyone else find "Giggle" to be a sexist and infantalising name for a woman's only app?
didn't their founder post about us on twitter?
Yes she got upset that we were calling her Eve Fartlow
lol
but seriously i'm still so sad that Sall managed to bite her tongue and didn't follow through on her threats to name us on a National TV morning show interview at the time
for real Hexbear mentioned on aus TV would've been extremely funny
Maybe we should just harass random rich people until one name drops us lmao
musk would be the easiest to crack
you know it, I know it, he knows it
:whats-the-worst-that-could-happen:
Not really a rich person, but it would be funny to do to Drew Pavlou, who's just the most pathetic Australian gremlin on the internet.
we basically already have, i'm sure a number of us have been QT'd and he seethes at Slammer weekly
Cubehead's use to mainstream media has already fizzled out completely, we need to aim higher
What happened to Pete Evans, does he tweet
I am about to commence a protracted people's harassment campaign against Tim Gurner
e: actually nah, 5head will probably stay out of the media limelight after he got eviscerated last year. I'll have to pick another mouthy property developer
Hearing hexbear said with an Australian TV anchor accent would send me
Almost the funniest thing that's happened on this site
"laugh more darling"
It's a pretty fitting name for a social media app
Feel like the issue is giggling being seen as feminine and thus childish and infantalising is the attitude that's sexist rather than the actual connotation of giggling with women being sexist
I don’t see giggling as feminine and thus childish, I see giggling as childish full stop, no connection to femininity, which is why I think it’s weird that they conflate women and giggling
Like I even feel weird reading your comment because it basically reads to me as: Feel like the issue is dinosaur chicken nuggets being seen as feminine and thus childish and infantalising is the attitude that's sexist rather than the actual connotation of dinosaur chicken nuggets with women being sexist.
Like nah the part I’m questioning is definitely the connection of dinosaur chicken nuggets to women.
Why is laughing childish. Maybe I don't fully understand what "giggling" is exactly
pog
also "Tickle sued Giggle" is such a funny phrase
This is one of the choice bits of HB lore it really felt like the old r/cth days of harassment
The Federal Court found that Roxanne Tickle had not been directly discriminated against but had been the victim of indirect discrimination
The "indirect" discrimination:
Justice Robert Bromwich noted that Giggle’s founder, Sall Grover, removed Tickle when she saw her photo and “considered her to be male”. Giggle had argued that the discrimination was permitted because, in its view, Tickle was of the male sex, and that was unchangeable.
Massive win for Roxanne. Reading the unadalteraded 
from the lawyer and unimelb phd is cherry on the cake
I’m sorry Giggle vs Tickle?
