Red flag. Bad opsec. I wouldn't trust someone who trusts me.

My spouse and I have been married 15 years and I still don't share my GPG passphrase. Whoever says "you can't have secrets" is weird and controlling.

She probably just has a blackmail fetish.

I think a bot is Karma farming by asking stupid questions. "Should I hit myself in the nuts with a mallet? Is sulphuric acid safe to drink? Should < horrible red flag behavior in a partner > be a cause for concern?"

JK. You're probably right. But chin up, it will only get worse 😁

Sounds like a scene from Get Out lol.

Why is this posted in the funny community?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

A tradition alive since time began on Reddit. Nothing funny can be posted on the funny community.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

The poster says it’s funny

[–] donuts 1 points 6 days ago

I feel like communities revolving around funny things, memes, shitposts are just there because the post/image wouldn't go anywhere else.

[–] Resonosity 7 points 6 days ago

Absolutely red flag.

Have confidence in the credibility of what she is expressing in those videos.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

"Let me take a video of you saying you're going to kill the president."

How interesting. I had a similar red flag with my asshole brother the day he said that he yelled the N-word in his car when he was alone because it was "transgressive" to do that. By the way, he said this to his family and hundreds of friends in public on Facebook.

Going to take my mom down to see him in Atlanta next week. It will be the first time I will see him in 10 years and probably the last until my mom's funeral, if he bothers to show up. Thank god I don't have to stay at his house.

AI is fishing for real human responses to further train on.

Sounds like a red flag with a white circle and a black symbol within. But also romantic. They're not mutually exclusive.

As some say, romance is death...

She's probably great in bed. The crazy ones always are.

[–] teft 53 points 1 week ago (7 children)

To all you younglings out there reading this, crazy chicks are fun but they will ruin your life.

Never stick your dick in crazy.

[–] AnUnusualRelic 2 points 6 days ago

Absolutely. Remember this: crazy chicks are fun.

[–] Fosheze 0 points 6 days ago

Never stick your dick in crazy more than once.

FTFY

RED FLAG.

No sane person does things like that.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Absolutely insane.

Just get a tattoo of their name like the rest of us.

Obligatory "this some young people shit".

Young people do and say stupid shit to come off as edgy and the vast majority of them don't actually mean it and regret it later in life.

As to your question, that's why you date people, to see if they're good, for you and otherwise. You don't go "red flag!" -> napalm!!!, you evaluate contexts and repeat occurrences of perceived wrongs.

A red flag.

Sharing dangerous ideas with somebody to show that you think they are safe is an honest signal of trust, but only if the dangerous ideas are genuine.

Someone who attempts to buy trust disingenuously is not to be trusted.

Someone who thinks in terms of kompromat and manipulation is dangerous to be around.

[–] [email protected] 72 points 1 week ago (4 children)

This is kinda unhinged in my opinion.
But then again, I grew up before social media, maybe this is the ultimate proof of love now? I don't know.

Anyway, putting herself completely at your mercy is not a good start into a healthy, mutually respectful relationship.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 week ago

Either unhinged or brain rotted from a steady diet of Tiktok videos. Or both.

First, 100% a red flag. Even if they wanted to give some sort of "I trust you with my life" sort of video, there's a bunch of better ways to do it. Going for a racist rant makes me think that they're a racist.

Secondly, this is deeply submissive - they're giving you the power to ruin their life. If you want to do that sort of stuff as a couple you should really talk about it first and be on board with receiving that sort of power and responsibility. Entirely possible+reasonable for the receiver to find this shitty because they don't want to make a choice like this, especially if these are truly held beliefs.

The healthy response to this is to send them to a therapist. And definitely dump them if they're actually racist.

I have a fleeting suspicion that this girl now thinks, because of her own action, she can do this to you now as well. OP, be careful what you share with her because ruining someones life is an option in her book...

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 week ago

She is treating the relationship and trust as transactional. No bueno.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago

The question that leaps to my mind is why would that idea have occurred to her in the first place?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago

Sounds like she is making a "joke" in poor taste while also fishing for your take on the things she is joking about.

or perhaps it's something sexual. Power imbalance Idk.
