Except I don't buy that there's any shenanigans here at all on this point. Such is an entirely natural thing to do if this was built in a matter of hours. If you want to prove something works, leave the finer points for later. You make it sound like it was some sort of conspiracy to design the app that way. That theory goes to garbage once you consider the fact that they apparently don't have any opposition to same-sex pairings on their app: If this statement isn't directly implying that they intend to make BWF gay-friendly then consider me bamboozled. Any attempt to portray them as some tyrannical cis-hetero dudes falls apart there. So they made heterosexuality the default in v0.9. Big deal, it kinda is the default if we're being frank. Can you blame them for initially conceptualizing the app around their own demographic? And I want to reiterate, there's no reason to believe that these guys are against that despite what the editorializing in the article suggests.It could be a toggle, but instead it was a wall put into the code.
We built the most basic version we could to keep it simple and get to the result of getting people bangin buddies! We are working on expanding it to help everyone.
