If you saw someone asking the same kind of question over and over again, would you automatically write them off as a bad person?

Hahaha! Hahaha!

You know, OP, I was about to post the same question! Because I too have been deluged this week by:

• If you saw someone drinking from a “male tears” mug would you automatically write them off as a bad person?
• If you saw someone wearing a swastika armband, would you automatically write them off as a bad person?
• If you saw someone drinking from a “liberal tears” mug, would you automatically write them off as a bad person?
• If you saw someone flying a “rebel” flag from the tailgate of their truck, would you automatically write them off as a bad person?

My inclination would be, yes, because we get it, already, and they’re also eliciting the same response, and templated questions are annoying after you see the second instance.

And yet! And yet those questions come from the divine, amusing, and highly intelligent Ms Carter Clock herself, Annika Schauer:

• Why has Annika Schauer started asking “would you automatically write them off as a bad person?” questions?

I will not write off Annika qua Annika. So that has been a lesson, to withhold hasty judgement. It’s maybe even the same lesson she was getting at with those questions.

Still don’t like the questions though. 🙂
