Are you sure making an article is a good idea? Yeah, there was a lot of commentary in the press on the incident (WP:109PAPERS), but I don't think the product went anywhere after that. I could be wrong though, but I'm not particularly inclined to research the topic any further. JMP EAX (talk) 21:37, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

I can probably find half-a-dozen incidents in South by Southwest that had similar coverage... JMP EAX (talk) 21:47, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

It is notable as a technology controversy, not as an application. However, per WP:COMMONNAME calling the article Titstare is probably more appropraite than calling it the Titstare controversy. I doubt you will find many controversies arising from tech events that get this much coverage internationally in major mainstream non-tech publications, and had lingering notability for being cited a long while after.[1] If there are, those are notable too and could have their own articles if anyone cared to write them. Only a small fraction of notable encyclopedic subjects actually have articles about them, so it's a matter of priorities. I think I can expand this into an article that is useful for the reader as a window into the Internet culture of its time and place. - Wikidemon (talk) 21:52, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
Well, if you're into that, you could also add something to Python Conference about the 2013 incident, which generated a lot of press [2] (google: PyCon and SendGrid). And probably write a full article of "he said, she said" too... Not my cup of tea though (writing a full article about something like this). JMP EAX (talk) 21:58, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
I can see a list or category in Wikipedia's future, list of minor controversies over incidents of perceived sexism in the app startup community. We jus teed a catchy name for it, like TitStareGate. - Wikidemon (talk) 19:46, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Men liking women's breasts is not sexism or misogyny. In fact, it's the complete opposite of misogyny. It's a normal part of human biology and sexual attraction. Sexism means discrimination based on a person's sex (usually against women). This clearly isn't sexism. Have liberals forgotten what discrimination actually is? Probably, since they now accuse everybody of "racism," "sexism," white supremacy," etc. even when people clearly aren't doing any of those things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.74.246.18 (talk) 15:08, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
