On the dating app Bumble, Ms. Bairachna liked the looks of a hipster. But when she scrolled through his photographs, she noticed his amputated leg.

“I looked at his profile for 15 minutes and felt so sorry for him,” Ms. Bairachna, 35, a marketing director for a clothing brand in Kyiv, said in an interview. She wondered if she could handle a relationship with a maimed war veteran.

Then she swiped left, removing him from potential matches. “I feel I’m not ready for that."

They could've done a story on the trials of dating as a maimed war veteran, but instead those chose this whore.

Trying to paint her as a sympathetic victim while mentioning a maimed war veteran who's also on the apps is hilarious and maddening all at once.

“I feel I’m not ready for that."

If she'd just said "fuck hipsters" a lot of people might even agree, like 'that's true, fuck hipsters.' But she had to make it about the unrecoverable injury.
