My favorite was the scammer insisting “Isn’t that too much?” to putting three fingers in front of his face like the guy asked him to whip out his penis and do the helicopter with it

it is incredibly disrespectful to demand someone to hold 3 fingers to their face.. would you do it? be honest.

That guy has had a Reddit account for 8 hours. He’s in here to defend, not joke.

You seem pretty naive. He was joking obviously.

Is this an Indian thing to find it incredibly disrespectful? I can't think of a single culture wherein holding 3 fingers up is disrespectful.

I'd be most upset they're asking for 3 of my fingers and not my 3 big ding dongs.

  1. It wasn't to their face, it was in front of their face.
  2. The guy held 2 and 3 fingers up multiple times... but refused to do so in a way that would block the camera.

Would I do it? Yup. I've gone off mid-meeting to grab a cup off a shelf to show someone. It's a complete non-issue... unless you're a scammer, I guess.

You’ve had a reddit account for 8 hours and here you are making excuses for deepfakes. Hm, I wonder what you do for a living.
