This article proposes reflections and provocations about the Grindr relationship application, to think about it as a territory enabler of the most diverse configurations assumed by dissident identities to the cisheteronorm, allowing a deepening of the discussions about the reflexes caused by the processes of subjectivation that start from a dichotomous and cisheterocentric perspective. Thus, we start from a theoretical framework that converges with the object of analysis and, later, its development is guided by content analysis, in which data from 25 profiles that can be analyzed were collected. In the end, note that the application presents itself as a pornotopic territory, given the juxtaposition of different spaces – identities, norms – that are incompatible. Such incompatibility culminates in the emergence of three main categories: pornotopia and maintenance of cisheteronorm; pornotopia and the invisibility of violence; pornotopia and secrecy.
