If I walk into a woman’s apartment, and one of the first things I see is something like “can’t handle me at worst”, and I <3 Dylan, posters I am probably going to end the pursuit of this relationship. I would do this because I have seen this common thread with people who do this. That common thread is that they have personality disorders, or are otherwise unstable. Pattern recognition is a survival instinct. Pattern recognition can be wrong, but this isn’t seeing faces in wood grain. This is seeing aspects of people’s personalities that they, themselves, value to the point where they spent money to display it on their wall.

Beyond this specific situation, you know how many times I have seen “it’s just memes” turn into “I am now in favor of an ethno state”? The average person to white supremacist/whatever pipeline created by the social influence of fora for “it’s just memes/jokes” is real, I have watched it happen. Feel disaffected from society? Well I am here to ease you into the idea that it isn’t your fault, it is the fault of women, and brown people, starting with some casual jokes, and memes.

The posters are red flags for “nice guys” and other very problematic people
