Removing that the internet has been a part of how loads of people socialise for decades now so that kind of assessment is getting increasingly passé, am I correct in understanding that what you are saying is that people who hook up with people they meet on the internet, or have one night stands, should expect - or perhaps are asking for - mistreatment from the person they have met?

Is any guy who is only interested in sex on a one-off occasion a douche by default? This is an impossible thing to achieve without such?

--- End quote ---

Its something like 50 million people (and probably higher)  using Tinder so of course its going to be broad.

I'm saying "I'm guessing that the percentage of douche bag guys on Tinder is greater than the percentage not on Tinder" so not all guys are douches but a higher percentage of douches use Tinder

Thrillho:
Meh.

I see no reason why men on Tinder would be worse than men anywhere else.

Oenone:
Honestly, I’ve met more douches in bars/ at sci if conventions than on Tinder. Something about assuming they’re socially superior or morally better than netizens, no doubt.

Thrillho:
I've been the douches in bars at nerdy shit.

Douches are douches wherever you find them, the internet is just faster and cheaper.

Oenone:
This is a really good moment of characterization for Renee and Dan.

For Renee:
Unlike Faye, when you listen to the content of her more acerbic comments, they reflect really fucked up experiences. Like, yeah, this is combative, but it’s also very revealing of some deep wounds she’s probably had to hide from Brun. It makes that scene earlier where the Brun/underwear situation very clearly part of a pattern, and one where she’s had to be the “mom friend” by both protecting Brun from sketchy ppl and deliberately not been angry at Brun for not getting that pants might be appreciated when hook ups are over. It’s also an interesting revisit of that strip where Dora was angry about Faye getting comforted by Marten while in her underwear, which is a nice way of differentiating Renee from Faye.

For Dan:
He’s mentally healthy enough that someone revealing something personal and revelatory of some ugly experiences results in him saying “what the fuck?” And sympathizing, instead of snarking back. He might be a genuinely nice person.
