Courtesy of WaPo:We were alerted that white supremacist Chris Cantwell was on OkCupid. Within 10 minutes we banned him for life.— OkCupid (@okcupid) August 17, 2017
After a Vice documentary about last weekend’s Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville featured white supremacist Chris Cantwell, he was banned from Facebook. And on Thursday, he was kicked off OkCupid as well.
The online dating site announced the decision via Twitter and followed up by tweeting that “there is no room for hate in a place where you’re looking for love.” The site also asked users to report anyone who appears to be involved in a hate group.
Chief executive Elie Seidman gave a statement to Gizmodo saying, “OkCupid has zero tolerance for racism. We make a lot of [decisions] every day that are tough. Banning Christopher Cantwell was not one of them.”
Just in case you are having a little difficulty remembering who this Chris Cantwell douchbag is, it's this douchebag.
I also heard that Pay Pal kicked him off and that he no longer has a source of income.Too good, Christopher Cantwell, one of the #Charlottesville neo-nazis cries his eyes out at threat of arrest https://t.co/XteAzcofSa— Henry Langston (@Henry_Langston) August 16, 2017
I am going to try and shed a tear for him just as soon as I am finished rolling on the floor and laughing.
