Add to that their recent announcements that we will no longer be able to filter by race. I have nothing against specific races, but I almost never feel an attraction to some, and forcing them to be visible to me won't make me more interested in them, just annoyed that I have to scroll through 50 people I don't want to bother with to see one I might when a filter USED to exist to skip that hassle.

That feature sounds annoying to me. How does it factor in mixed people? Many people these days don't fit neatly into racial categories, so I think it is better to judge looks created by race on the looks themselves, rather than race.

No seriously, tell me "asexual" person; when were you ever scared that your family and friends would disown you?

TBH, many gay people these days don't experience that either, or at least don't very strongly… or at least that's my experience being gay in Southern California, born in 2001 and coming out around age 14 or 15. Other places, like Saudi Arabia, are much worse though. It all depends on time and place, I think.
