    ITT: Everyone taking a shitpost from reddit posted to Funny@sh.itjust.works seriously

    Also: both romantic and a red flag

      Nah, if it was real they’re either fucked in the head about romance or feeling them out with deniability. Just a red flag in superposition between different warnings.

      Plus you’ll note there isn’t anything in there about not believing what she said. Just the nonsense about trust.

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

    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.

    Relationships are no jokes. Neither is racism. Depending on how I feel about her, the video might leak. I would certainly not stay.

    Big red flag to me.

      Damn, remind me not to partner with you in a trust fall.

      Like this has “here is a staged video of me as a proof/test of trust” and not “here is actual proof I’m a racist” because there would have been OTHER proof, racists aren’t that sneaky.

      Your first reaction is “finally I have a chance to ruin this girl I love’s life and go FULL SCORCHED EARTH”

      Fuck man, you’ve got to dial up your chill at least a skosh!

      the video might leak.

      That’s a little much. Such poor taste she deserves a criminal record?

      Leaving works though for sure. Can do the favor of explaining why too.

    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.

    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.

      That being said, it’s a huge red flag and you don’t need a repeat occurrence to end the relationship.

    • Sure, but this is also a weird miscommunication. Why do this crazy trust exercise when you can instead have honest conversations? This sounds like the relationship is going to be based on proving yourself to the other instead of genuinely getting to know them.

      If I received this, I’d show them me deleting it from all my devices and ask them to never do anything like that again, because you never know what could be exposed in a breach. I’d also tell them if any of that was genuine, we would need to end the relationship.

    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…

    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.

    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…

    It’s a twisted romantic gesture. I like it. Being partners in crime strengthens the bond between two people.

      Yeah but why racism? She could say something illegal like “I plan on killing (person’s name”

      I think the comment that says she is fishing for whether he is racist too is on the right track.

    They say never stick your dick in crazy, but from my experience, that’s where the best stuff is, but you gotta know, there’s a shelf life to flirting with insanity, you gotta know when to get out, or else you’re just in for life changing pain. This sounds a bit outside comfort levels for me, and I’d be looking for the out door.

      Still, the one thing worse than sticking your dick in crazy is almost sticking your dick in crazy, so that the negative effect were still there, but you wouldn’t have fun memories at lonely evenings.

      It’s good, but almost never worth it. With some of them, most of them actually, there’s no safe path out.
