VK is so obnoxiously heteronormative when it comes to the relationship status on your profile.

And some languages are more complicated than others 😅

@grishka back in the day I asked their support why when you don't pick your partner it wouldn't just say smthn along the lines of ‘In a relationship’ (В отношениях) rather than ‘Has a girlfriend’ (Есть подруга), and they said it's by design and won't be fixed, and suggested to actually specify my partner

Obviously I wouldn't want to expose my ex or myself, and having him reduced to a ‘girlfriend’ was kind of yikes, so I just left this field empty, not that it matters anyway lmao

@brawaru as you can imagine, only a straight person could say that.

As someone also frustrated by people incorrectly assuming things about me, I'm doing my best to not assume the gender of one's partner unless they've picked one and their gender is known. Facebook also does this btw.
