Would you use a dating site where everyone is shown as having blue skin?


Any pictures you upload, including your profile pictures, would automatically have skin color changed to the same shade of blue for everyone.

Would you use such a dating site?

The villain from "The Smurfs" is really running out of ideas to catch the Smurfs.

(More seriously, is this an attempt to address racism or something? Won't work; racism is not generally predicated on literal skintone.)


👤 LinuxBender
I would not. I would want something that proves their pictures were recent and not tampered with assuming that was even possible.

Nope - sounds very performative, and I'm not into performative.

Certainly not. It would be better if photos were simply not allowed.
