In domestic violence news:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/06/tinder-domestic-violence_n_7224076.html?utm_hp_ref=women&ir=Women

TLDR: Abusers going to abuse! I don't know I didn't read but I felt it !

A new series of public service announcements on Tinder hopes to remind women that even a seemingly perfect man can turn violent at the drop of a hat.

Relationship abuse is alarmingly common in the United States. Every minute, 20 people experience intimate partner violence, and three women are murdered every day by a current or former male partner.

Women in Distress, a domestic violence center based in Florida, collaborated with the ad agency Bravo/Y&R for the Tinder Beaters campaign, which aims to raise awareness about relationship abuse.

The agency staff created three fake Tinder personas, AdWeek reports. When women look at one of the fake profiles, they see pictures of a man looking normal at first, then appearing more and more angry in subsequent photos, and finally throwing a punch at the camera. The last image reads "Don't Let It Get Ugly."

The agency told AdWeek that the campaign encourages women to "look for help at the first sign of things turning ugly." Bravo/Y&R did not respond to a Huffington Post request for comment. Women in Distress also could not be reached for comment.

Katie Ray-Jones, the CEO of the National Domestic Violence Hotline, said she has seen increased interest in graphic images of domestic violence since a video showing former Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice hitting his then-fiancée was released last year.

“People are looking for really provocative imagery to engage people on the topic,” she told HuffPost.

However, Ray-Jones said the slogan “Don’t Let It Get Ugly” incorrectly implies that domestic violence survivors have control over an abusive situation.

“I think it’s really important to have messaging that really gives victims and survivors education that they are not to blame for the abuse,” she said.

“It’s interesting that they are all white men [in the Tinder video],” Ray-Jones said, noting that abusers can come from any background and that diversity has become a top priority in other domestic violence PSAs. It’s possible the advertisers made all their abusers white to reflect the demographics of Tinder in their area, she speculated.

Ray-Jones also questioned the absence of a trigger warning before violent imagery. “We know that post-traumatic stress is common in victims,” she said, adding that anything that reminds survivors of abuse can be very upsetting.

It's not possible to screen out everything reminiscent of abuse, she said, "but as service providers we can prepare the public before we release imagery that can be triggering."

Tinder is growing in popularity as a way for companies and other organizations to spread their messages. We've already seen it used to raise awareness about sex trafficking and promote a movie about a sexy robot.

Just what the world needs. More online dating profiles that turn out to be ads.

At least in this case it's not a Nigerian looking for money.

I probably shouldn't admit it publicly but the idea of a woman abusing me turns me on !

Why is it that you are so willing to advocate for the "war on men" but if it comes up that someone claims there is a war on women or war on blacks or war on [insert anything you disagree with here] you completely dismiss it?

As long as the "War on Rich White Males" continues, who really cares?

Besides, who was it that coined the phrase "War on <insert miniority>" again?

/rollseyes

I guess the mere fact that I commented on it must mean that completely discredit and dismiss any and all plights that aren't associated with the specific article he posted.

Like, come on dude, strawman, strawman, strawman.

It's neat how Nausi considers each posts he makes an instance unto itself, and his posting history and things he's said in the past must certainly be something no one would ever factor into a statement, or something through the lens of which we would view additional things he says.

I guess to you, nobody makes sarcastic remarks. Or nobody is allowed to make one if they have a differing opinion from yours most of the time.

*protip: I made one in my response to Flavin about "War on Rich White Male" comment.

To be fair, people here have a habit of arguing against people based on the stereotype of their area of the political spectrum rather than things they've actually said.

Problem is, we are all guilty of it every now and then. Some more than others.

Never mind what a person actually said, it's what the other person projects their view of the other party is what matters.

Then you have fone.

Nausi has made his feelings on women, the poor, and minorities quite well known. None of them has a single thing held against them, it's all fake and made up. But men, on the other hand -- especially "successful" white ones -- are constantly under assault.

Still waiting to hear about how Abbott being disabled had anything to do with that earlier conversation KN.

When you allege that I'm dodging it's because you have nothing better to say than hey look at deflection 437! I even take the time to explain it to you like you ask me to and then all you can tell me is that it too is a dodge or deflection or whatever is running through that head of yours at the time lol... you've avoided so many questions today it's a wonder why you even point out that you think others do it as well... Thing is you're never really worried about dodging, deflecting or being hypocritical but rather just about throwing BS into the mix because you have nothing left...
