AITA for thinking the Tea App was a great idea to keep people safe but has been terribly executed?

You’re not the asshole for thinking that, but I disagree with the assessment. If you look at the actual page for the app on the App Store, none of the examples are even about safety, a lot of people got on it for that and it was sold that way by word of mouth but it’s not what its main purpose was I think an app specifically built around safety with that stuff would be good, but this wasn’t that, and I think idk I’d feel a bit dehumanized if there was an app that big of men reviewing us

But I definitely would agree that the idea was much better than the execution, so many women put in danger…

How did our generation get so bad that a safety tool became a way to call people short or slow behind their backs? Are we kindergarteners or adults? I honestly do not know anymore.

I mean I don’t even think it was intended to be a safety tool really, the app is called tea and the page doesn’t really talk about safety aside from telling if the guy is married Like, the name “Tea” implies it’s about gossip, I think a lot of the word of mouth marketed as a safety tool but it doesn’t seem like it was built with that as its primary focus imo

I thought exactly what you are thinking. These apps are dehumanizing. I want NewsBreak to have a better sex offender map, but that is up to law enforcement to get better.

As for the stuff with our generation, honestly I think the reality is that now that women have more financial independence than we used to and are no longer dating for financial position, we are dating for more similar things to how men are and have started behaving more like them (to a lesser extent than them still, but more than we used to)
