Deranged Grindr Syndrome (DGS)

Deranged Grindr Syndrome (also known as DGS) is a psychiatric condition affecting an unknown number of gay men who use Grindr for sexual purposes. People with DGS may exhibit a wide variety of symptoms including, but not limited to:

- Ghost-facing: Attempting to engage in chat with other users without sharing any pics of themselves
- Hole-bombing: Sending unsolicited images of their gaping holes to complete strangers

- Pic-collecting: Requesting images from other people when they haven’t shared any pics of themselves

- Wounded ego: Impaired ability to cope with rejection, such as demanding an explanation for why a complete stranger is not attracted to them
- Silent treatment: Engaging in extensive chat with another user and indicating an interest in meeting up for sex, and then going silent and never responding again

- Ghost-meeting (different from ghost-facing): making an actual plan with someone from the app to meet in person, exchanging location details and setting a specific time, and then ghosting the person with no warning or explanation while they are sitting there waiting for you

- Stalking: tracking another user’s online presence and bombarding them with messages each time they come online

This is not a complete list of possible symptoms included under the diagnosis of Deranged Grindr Syndrome (DGS). People with DGS may exhibit mild or severe symptoms. If you or someone you love suffers from DGS, help is available. Speak to a mental health professional.
Deranged Grindr Syndrome (DGS) is like when this guy with no pics wrote to me demanding that I share my private photo album with him, and then he bombed me with 15 pics of his gaping hole, and he got mad and called me rude when I didn't respond. Major DGS.

Deranged Grindr Syndrome is like when some rando with no face pic hole-bombs you with 15 photos of their gaping anus and then demands that you unlock your private album.

Everyone's initial romantic interest. Hearing his voice from the other side of the room, he had stars behind his eyes. For although your feelings for him were strong, he never gets too loud. Please just be honest with him after you've fallen for him. Keep that happiness from him being secondhand. Keep this in mind, that he’s everyone’s precious ‘city of angels’
Gerard: “So, how’s going. You and Devand?”
Sabrina: “I told my mom that I’m in love. I sent a pic, dad’s got a crush. Best friends are pumped, throwing high fives, wishing me luck.”
Gerard: “Good for you.”
Sabrina: “He is OUT OF MY LEAGUE, Gerard.”

Deranger

A person with an intense hatred for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex - Prince Harry and Meghan Sussex (Nee' Markle) that manifests itself as an unhealthy obsession. While claiming that they are irrelevant and annoying individuals, they will closely follow and over analyse their activities and ascribe nefarious characteristics to them. Derangers often review bomb any production they put out and engage in trolling the couple and any person, organisation or charity that works with. As well as disproportionately negative critiques on the couple, derangers often share wild conspiracy theories and misinformation about them on social media.

In many cases, if not a public figure a deranger may sometimes adopt a display picture and user name in the likeness of The Duchess and their accounts can be entirely dedicated to denigrating mainly her and The Duke by association.
I read the review she wrote about them and it was so unbalanced and unhinged it must have been written by a deranger.

Suddenly her inner deranger came out when I told her that I actually enjoyed their documentary.
