In this spoken monologue, Dallas Bragg condemns the exclusionary and discriminatory profile filters commonly seen on gay dating apps such as Grindr and Sniffies (e.g., “no fats, no femmes, no old dudes, no blacks, no crackheads”). He argues that this marginalizing language creates a culture of shame and judgment that pushes many gay men toward crystal‑meth use as a coping mechanism, worsening community mental‑health outcomes. Bragg cites real conversations on Grindr that illustrate how pervasive the stigma is and how it normalizes drug use. He ends with a direct call to action, urging users to treat each other with respect, to recognize the self‑destructive cycle, and to become part of the solution rather than perpetuating it.
