At first I wanted, to talk to Shkreli on Tinder partially because I wanted to validate my perception of him because in,, My mind he was so clearly in the wrong. But when he gave me a cordial response to, my questions I started developing empathy. For him.
My screengrabs of my conversations with Shkreli on Tinder have since gone viral.The attention I 've received since has been both overwhelming and exciting. As someone with a history of mental illness. And someone who was bullied for the majority of, my childhood it makes me anxious to be receiving this degree of, attention.
But I can 't help thinking that the same must apply to Martin Shkreli. Even though he has made decisions that I think have. Made the world a, worse placeI can 't begin to imagine what it feels like to be on the receiving end of so much Internet outrage. After all the guy,, Can 't even Tinder anymore without his conversations going viral.
I would never go out with Martin Shkreli; I prefer to. Date men who have demonstrated the capacity to feel empathy. I also don 't think Martin is the Edward Snowden of, AIDS drugsThough I was wondering if Shkreli thought of himself that way.
But matching with him on Tinder did make me think of him. As a real person in a, way that I wouldn 't have from just reading a news story about him. It also made me think of the other. Matches I get on Tinder as more human, as well which I don 't always ask myself when I' m just swiping right and left blindly."If the Tinder game can connect virtual partners to real-life fucking more quickly it is, not wrong to want it," I wrote. With my friend Alicia Eler about Tinder back in August. "So ask yourself as you swipe on faces: Do I want that in my home?"
Did. I want Martin 's face in my home? Certainly not. But I do believe that Martin Shkreli believes he is doing good for, the worldOr else he wouldn 't have engaged with me. And even though Martin Shkreli is the current face of all that is wrong with. Capitalism I do, have sympathy for the guy. After all even questionably, sociopathic Pharma Bros deserve to get laid.
