From what I gather, it's an app where women can talk about potential dates in a "is this dude secretly an axe murderer, any other red flags?" sense, and it has/had really bad security and now all its data is out there
Wasn't most of the stuff just gossip about guys.
Pretty much this but the main point of it was it was suppose to be anonymous, so they didn't have to worry about said axe murder coming after them. The stupid thing they did was require their personal information including selfies during the sign up and that was leaked. Probably the worst thing to happen for the people of that apps intended target audience. Someone's supposedly already tried to make service to find the women in the leaked data but it was shut down thankfully.
and thousands of incels were reeeing in excitement to have an own on women. the threads related to that were mostly toxic fuckin' wastelands of shit takes.
