    Damn. I know this is a shitpost (and a funny one) but this is actually a neat strategy as a rough filter for bad people, like on dating sites or such.
    I think I’ll start using this. Thank you OP! <3

      Put the anti douchebag statement at the top:

      “Trans rights are human rights. Free Palestine. Systemic racism exists. Feminism benefit everyone. No war but class war.”

      Saves a lot of time.

        I saw one where they asked the other person to say Taiwan is an independent nation and to say (type) the words Winnie the Pooh, and they wouldn’t. That’ll do it.

          OTOH, if I was traveling to China every so often, I would likely be also cautious with writing such things. For a similar reason I likely shouldn’t enter the US any time soon.

      It’s a racist shitpost. Doing this to people you think are Chinese is totally not an acceptable thing to do at all. This is like a blatantly racist meme, regardless of your position on tankies, like they even made them type with broken English. The Chinese scammer that says “fuk you.”

      It also insinuates that Asian people are aligned politically with the country of their origin, which is like classic anti-Asian racism.

        Considering this was a scam text and the person what trying to steel money I think this is fair game. If the authorities are listening then they could block the number and it may interfere with other scams.

        Alright then. Fuck me, I guess.
        Just so you know, I have zero tolerance for racism online or offline. I’ve ended relationships because of stupid, racist jokes which are unfortunately really common in my country. I insult people to the extreme irl when making those jokes.
        But…I guess I was racist all along. I’m sorry.

          But also, I might recommend you to maybe not insult people to the extreme when defending someone from a racist remark. White people making a scene to prove that they’re not racist can be really embarrassing to everyone involved.

          The difference is between genuine protectiveness and trying to prove that you’re not racist, you shouldn’t be doing the latter.
