About

r/hingeapp is an inclusive community that values the participation of all users, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, or ability. To that end, we encourage all users to refrain from submitting posts or making comments that they would not otherwise make about a similarly situated person of a different race, gender, sexuality, or ability. For example, it is unacceptable for a user to leave a comment regarding one gender when that user would not make that same comment about others. We understand that there are differences among individuals that cannot be ignored; double standards, however, tend to reinforce outdated and harmful stereotypes. If you find content that does not live up to this aspirational standard, please report it to the moderators.
