Have dating apps ruined romance?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Have dating apps ruined romance?". Your opponent's style: Sherlock Holmes

Fat phobia is right

You're asserting fat phobia exists, but that's sidestepping the actual debate. The question is whether dating apps ruined romance, not whether discrimination is real. Those are separate issues. Here's the problem with your pivot: even if fat phobia exists everywhere, it doesn't prove dating apps created it or made romance worse. Dating apps actually let you filter for people who want you, bypassing gatekeepers in bars or social circles. You get choice and honesty. Pre-app dating? Rejection happened in person, publicly, with no escape route. So which environment is actually harsher for people facing discrimination?
