“Fast Company reported that the “backlash was swift” and social media users accused Bumble of using language that “invalidated women’s sexual autonomy, the experiences of asexual people, and restrictions on reproductive rights.” “
Oh brother! These people are insufferable.

Conversely: If the Bumble ads had instead castigated, derided, and subjected to ridicule people (e.g., traditional Christians) who shame women focusing on casual hook-ups... if the ads had instead lauded women as "empowered" and "fully actualized" who rack up correspondingly high body-counts... they would have received absolutely no backlash from that quarter!

In fact, they would have garnered copious praise from "progressives," "leftists," and "feminists."

At the same time, traditional Christians would probably have ignored them (as a "lost cause anyway").

A "win-win" situation for Bumble.

But, as John Belushi was wont to say: No-ooo! No!

They had to go and (very slightly) mock their target audience - which is entirely devoid of humor (at least, when it comes to self-deprecation).
