Does anyone else think the term “red flag” is disgustingly overused?

This terminology should only be used if you’re in potential danger. It shouldn’t be used for something you perceive as undesirable. Everyone has things that are undesirable to someone.

Yes

No

a lot of words are overused by the political left

"red flag" is definitely one of them. funny how people say they can accept flaws in a partner when in reality they really just want perfection in a partner

other words include "autonomy", "insecure", "hate speech" etc. when double standards are constantly applied

e. g. a woman who aborts her baby is empowering but a man refusing to pay child support is an irresponsible scumbag

e. g. a woman with boundaries is a woman with standards and needs to be respected but a man with boundaries is "insecure" and needs to be shamed

e. g. debunking the gender wage gap is "hate speech" despite there being actual statistics to support the debunk but it's perfectly fine to shame men for preferring younger virgin women and it ain't "hate speech" to point the finger at them for all the problems in the world

Lmao, "doesn't think red flags should exist" is a new red flag for me.
