Tap for context

Some woman on the internet said she would feel safer spending a night in the woods with a random bear rather than with a random man

    The bear discourse is the true measure of whether a given man is a red or green flag.

        You’ll often hear smart-alec martial arts masters say that the best self-defence technique is the 400m sprint, but they couldn’t be more wrong. In truth it’s the 1km parcour.

      A colored flag means a sign giving a clue on something. It doesn’t define a person, and can only be used to describe some abstract fact. You can say “getting angry when talking about the bear discourse” is a redflag, but saying “a man is a red flag” is not correct

        Yes, that’s my point. The response to the bear discourse reveals red or green flags.

            Syntactically they should have used ‘displays’ not ‘is’ a green or red flag, but everyone divined the meaning of the damned sentence and the internet is garbage so who gives a rats

      i’m aro/ace and have an intense aversion from interacting with people. I’m pretty sure that’s a green flag?
