Am I crazy or are pictures of someone performing surgery wildly inappropriate for a dating profile?
TW: Gore discussion
Twice now I've stumbled upon profiles that list their careers as veterinarians and, while the rest of their profiles are completely fine, these people put a picture of them just straight up operating on an animal, open wounds, blood, all of it within full view. One of them even had blood spatter on their outfit... and was looking up at the camera and smiling.
To a degree I can understand the thought process that goes into posting a picture like that. They're trying to share a significant portion of their life and want to filter people who don't have a tolerance for stuff like that. But like... wouldn't you think the thought might cross their mind that a pretty significant portion of the population is NOT cool with involuntarily being subjected to animal gore? Plus, unless their future partner is also a surgeon, there's basically zero chance their partner would be in the surgery room hanging out while they're performing surgery. So what even is the point of trying to filter people by gore tolerance if their partner, in all likelihood, would never be joining them while operating on someone's pet??
Like there's no practical way to know there's a gore jumpscare incoming since Hinge selects which profiles you see and you cannot filter by profession. So I have basically no control over whether or not a gore pic is about to cross my screen (unless I automatically skip people in any medical field). It's just so wildly inappropriate to me to have a gore pic on your profile. Just say you're a veterinarian and ask your matches if they're cool with seeing blood if it means that much to you.
Anyways, sorry for the rant. This is just the second time I've been involuntarily subjected to pics like this and it's genuinely upsetting to me. And for lack of a better term, I think this behavior is completely unhinged.
