    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?
