Apparently the platform operated as some sort of gossipping/reporting system where unaware men and guys could be posted, so they could basicallly do the same thing that happened to them, all on one if the most unsafe system possible.
Honestly I see this as a consequence of their own actions mostly the database was unprotected. Their purpose was to document men behind their back. Turns out it backfired.
"According to predators on 4chan the platform operated as what the users thought was a secure way to discuss potentially dangerous men on dating platforms with women in similar situations, this is naturally completely equivalent to exposing the women who were attempting to be safer and putting any and all private info of theirs online for predators to access. The level of risk in going on first dates with people you met on the internet is completely equivalent for straight men and straight women and it serves them right for trying to help eachother stay safe by comparing notes"
Did I get that right?
You have the level of understanding of a redditor.
