RED FLAG.

No sane person does things like that.

[–] 667@lemmy.radio 66 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Absolutely insane.

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

Preferably a face tattoo

But with a cross and a white circle within 😘

Yeah. Who would trust to give someone else video evidence that could be used to ruin their entire life? That's crazy.

Yeah, I don't understand what they're getting out of it. Here's my pros/cons list:

Pros:

trust?

Cons:

if you break up, they can screw you
if there's a data breach, you can get screwed
they accidentally leave their phone unlocked
send phone for repair and the tech sees the video
they accidentally send it to someone else, mistaking it for another

That doesn't seem very balanced to me... Instead of mutually assured destruction (assuming this is reciprocated), just be a good BF/GF? Why isn't that enough?

I think it's honestly just a test and the person does actually believe those things but is saying it as a "joke" to see how far they can push it with their new partner. So the biggest pro would be "did I find someone equally as racist and shitty as me and if so, score", I guess?
