Red Flags (if I don’t blatantly show disgust, I’ll probably ghost you after observing this stuff):
- Littering
- Treating animals like objects
- Treating staff in restaurants and shops etc. like trash
- Being into manosphere shit or treating any podcaster / influencer / asshat with a microphone like they’re a guru
- Interest in conspiracy theories and/or ‘free speech’ aka actions without consequences
- Crying about wokeness or women or queer people
Amber Flags (I’m a bit put off but I don’t want to judge a book by its cover so I’ll get to know you first):
- Subscribing to a religion
- Having no neck, a red face, short / no hair, tribal tattoos and walking like you’ve got an invisible water bottle under each arm
- Being a constant ‘positivity’ person
Edit: I feel like that’s a lot. Maybe I just hate everyone lol. Maybe I’m the red flag.
Conspiracy theories is a good one, it can be a sign of serious MH conditions. Some theories border on clinical paranoia
Yeah and sadly the conspiracy theory scene seems to be completely taken over by bad actors with right wing agendas. That prey on these people who actually need help, rather than to be fed stories about George Soros and the deep state and microchips in vaccines etc.
Yep it’s really scary.
An adult that often doesn’t accept when they’re wrong, glosses over it or shifts the blame. Yes, it’s part of growing up but past a certain age it’s a terrible sign in someone.
You mean the first things to ask a new acquaintance aren’t the names of their childhood best friend, first pet, and maternal grandfather?
If you send me money I will explain why
Mocks others, gets angry at jokes about them.

“Asian women are my fetish” (yes, I’ve had people—plural—use that with me)
Have you recounted this story elsewhere on Lemmy? I feel like I’ve heard it before…

Unnecessary aggression or assholery.
Fatal, depending on point and depth of penetration.
Good one dad@
Kisses their dog on the lips, but does not french the cat.
They don’t listen to music at home.
I don’t specifically have any. I just trust my feelings and am open and honest as possible.
Their bathroom is destroyed. Usually a bad sign.
A green flag is seeing a stuffed animal or two in their bed.
Hard disagree on that green flag. In my experience is not an indicator. Both the worst people and the love of my life have had stuffed animals on the bed.
Does it count if my stuffed animals are in the living room?
