Its interesting to see the parallels between this and the subreddit r/blackpeopletwitter, which began requiring users to verify with mods that they pass the "paper bag test" in order to participate on the forum. Even the rationality for doing so sounds exactly like this quote from the article regarding Giggle, simply replacing "black people" with "women":

> "We wanted a place where women could go to help each other," she said in an email. "A female space, in the palm of their hand. Where women could find support, connection and a refuge amongst other women no matter where they were or what they were doing."

And yet the reaction to the two seems to be divergent. We've clearly stopped caring for eliminating discrimination and now are hellbent on fostering discrimination, so long as its discriminating against the "right" groups. Hard to keep up with what groups are "right" to discriminate against on any particular day, though. Seems like a race to the bottom to me.
