Women are anonymously spilling tea about men in their cities on viral app - The surveillance state equivalent of the mean girls burn book

When Cid Walker opens the Tea app, she’s greeted by a barrage of posts about men and their apparent "red" and "green" "flags."

“He’s a cheater,” Walker said, reading some of the comments on one post out loud.

"What clubs does he go to?" another person asked on a different post. "He’s cute."

The app, which appears to have been advertising itself online since at least last fall, allows users to solicit feedback about specific men they’re dating.

Walker, 22, is among the 4 million users on the women-only safety app, which this week became the No. 1 free app in the Apple App Store.

It picked up viral traction in the last month after some people began talking about it online on Reddit and TikTok. The app gained more than 900,000 new signups in the last few days, Tea said on social media. Getting off the waitlist can now take days, an inconvenience many new users complained about in comments on the app's Instagram posts.

Upon opening Tea, users are presented with local men whose photos have been uploaded, along with their first names. For each of the men, other women on the app can report whether they deem him a “red flag” or a “green flag” and leave comments about him, such as those recounting negative date experiences or vouching for him as a friend.

“I’ve seen so many people I know on the app, it’s crazy,” said Walker, a Cleveland-area user who joined the app last week after having seen multiple viral posts about it. “Like, oh my God, I would never think all this stuff about them.”

App users can look up individual names in the search bar or create custom alerts for specific men. The app also offers functions that let users run background checks, search for criminal histories and reverse-search photos to check whether a man is catfishing by using someone else’s photos on his dating profile.

The woman-only app was created by a man, Sean Cook, who said on Tea’s website that he was inspired after he watched his mother’s “terrifying experience with online dating,” including being catfished and unknowingly dating men with criminal records.

Cook’s profile on LinkedIn lists him as the founder of Tea since 2022. The description under his role says, “Tea was self-funded by Sean.”

Cook did not respond to a request for comment. A representative for Tea said the app isn’t offering interviews at this time.

Tea’s mission mirrors similar efforts that have gained popularity in other online forums, such as “Are We Dating The Same Guy?,” a Facebook community with millions of members across the country in localized offshoots.

While the communities have stated that their mission is to keep women safe, they have also faced backlash from men online who say they fear being misrepresented or doxxed on the platforms.

The Facebook groups, which advertise themselves as spaces for women to warn other women about “liars, cheaters, abusers, or anyone who exhibits any type of toxic or dangerous behavior,” have for years been criticized online for devolving into places for gossip or for spreading possible misinformation about people. Last year, judges dismissed two defamation lawsuits filed in Illinois and California by men who were posted in the groups.

With Tea, some men have posted in forums asking for others to report the app in hope of getting it shut down, and others have expressed interest in a men-only equivalent on which they could discuss and mock women.

One app has already tried to offer that. The Teaborn app climbed to No. 3 in the free apps chart Wednesday before it disappeared from the App Store.

Shortly ahead of its removal, the app had rolled out an update with “enhanced content moderation and reporting tools” after its creator condemned users for allegedly sharing revenge porn on the platform.

Teaborn told NBC News in a social media statement: “Apple just removed us yesterday because Tea app doesn’t like competition, but we are working to go back with a new brand!”

Apple didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Despite finding apps like Tea entertaining, users like Walker have expressed discomfort with the idea of allowing so many people to anonymously speak negatively about others online.

Signing up for Tea requires users to take selfies, which the app says are deleted after review, to prove they are women. All users who get accepted are anonymous outside of the usernames they choose. Screenshots are also blocked.

On its website, Tea describes itself as “more than an app; it’s a sisterhood.” The app claims it donates 10% of its profits to the National Domestic Violence Hotline.

A spokesperson for the hotline didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.

“Together, we’re redefining modern dating,” the app says.

Walker said that she has noticed many users focus more on gossip than real safety concerns but that she believes some people have found Tea useful for exposing serious issues like abuse.

“I feel like if people were to use the app how it’s supposed to be used, this could actually save a lot of women from being hurt or harmed,” Walker said. “But at this point, I think it’s like a joke to everybody and just like cyberbullying.”

Are you stupid? You said revenge porn exists because women supplied the photos to men and to stop the revenge porn is on women to never be photographed in a compromising way by anyone.

Who hurt you that you're that stupid? Your mom?

You need psychological help when you're this deep into the gender war.

 

[Manly_Brony]

which is not that unreasonable in the modern day and age, perhaps even a smidge commendable

That was my first thought after hearing about it on Clownfish TV of all places. Women looking for a serious partner should be able to navigate through the cheaters, parasites, wife beaters, sex offenders hiding their statuses and criminals. But the female hivemind took the wheel again.

Defamation retard, falsely accusing someone of a crime is indeed against the law in America.

These are two different things. And @Tutu said nothing about accusing someone of a crime.

 

[Totallyunknown]

You need psychological help when you're this deep into the gender war.

So you make a stupid statement, get called out for how stupid it is, try to tell me ackshually I was talking about both genders and then when I directly quote what you said, I am the one too deep into it.

Gaslight, girlboss!

One of my buddies ... was accused of having STDs because something something hygiene.

Wash your fucking dick. Men are complaining women don't want them when men can't even put in the effort of taking a shower. Oh but you're all just victims, aren't you? Poor little mens, women don't want to get a UTI fucking your filthy unwashed cocks, waaaah, waaaah, poor you.

Alternative take: no one should be a cheater, parasite, spouse beater, or sex offender hiding their status. Yep, people should learn over time to spot disingenuity and to have some self-respect. But when you put a dummy/ inexperienced person against a scammer, scammer will win. And scammers can spot the suckers far more than the other direction.

There's a reason that financial con men get arrested ( ) but their victims don't. They're not the same level of "bad person," because the dummies/naïve ones aren't hurting other people (just themselves, whether should-have-knowns or not), whereas the scamners/ liars/ abusers/ etc., are hurting other people. It's goofy to equate them and view this stuff as deserved comeuppance.

And to be clear, if women went on there and lied about their experiences, obviously, that's despicable as well. Can someone show all the lying, defamatory posts they made?

I don't care about this enough to really look into things too much, I mostly just find this whole event kinda depressingly amusing (the speed at which the concept of practicing basic internet safety being common sense died off..), but we do already have a tiktok of at least one guy who was posted on there solely for 'giving off gay vibes' just cause he apparently didn't want to bang any of his Olive Garden coworkers

Apparently the app was being used to accuse men they didn't like of being gay
View attachment 7693214

So I wouldn't exactly be surprised if there's plenty more instances of, let's say, gossip being posted that'll be found out & spark up random controversy as time goes on

It's essentially how the lifecycle of any app that allows some level of social media-esque chatting functions goes tbf

[Tapeworm Addict]

And to be clear, if women went on there and lied about their experiences, obviously, that's despicable as well. Can someone show all the lying, defamatory posts they made?

Can you show the truthful posts that were made? That's the problem with public callouts and life ruination attempts. There will be truthful callouts of bad behavior and there will be total bullshit callouts. All but the most hardened extremists can agree on these points. The problem lies in the facilitation of baseless claims along with personal identifying information of the alleged bad actor, and a culture that punishes critical inquiry into unproven claims based on the identity of the claimant. This provides a lot of power to hurt someone without evidence and you wouldn't be able to differentiate that from a truthful claim because no evidence is required.

Every single photo I've seen from this leak is a undatable, middle-aged dogs. It's almost impossible for a woman to be an incel because you'll find a man who'll fuck literally anything but they're just as bitter and miserable.

Fat cat moms who think they're entitled to Henry Cavill are yin to the Gamestop manager who thinks he's entitled to a 19yo Erin Moriarty lookalike who's a virgin but somehow will fuck like a porn star and indulge in your gooner fetishes yang.

The gender wars is 100% Jewish agitprop - they want you to be demoralized, miserable and alone.

 

[Local Wordmason]

It's Always Sunny did this premise ten years ago.

It's funny because it's going to play out the same way:
Women use it for power over men in a way that men don't care about because they're fundamentally into dating for different reasons.
The only men that care about it are obsessive and vain to the point where they care about it more than the women.

Wash your fucking dick. Men are complaining women don't want them when men can't even put in the effort of taking a shower. Oh but you're all just victims, aren't you? Poor little mens, women don't want to get a UTI fucking your filthy unwashed cocks, waaaah, waaaah, poor you.

Women are telling on themselves when they post shit like this.

The overwhelming majority of men wash their crotches and aren't covered in sores and riddled with STDs but women choose to sleep with the ones that do and then bitch about it.

Just because Jamalqueevious gives you momentary tingles doesn't mean you have to sleep with him, have some basic self control.

If that's the only thing you took away from that guys post, you're NGMI.
