This guy is a troll. He is not legitimate. All comments postulating that maybe this is legitimate will be removed.

If this was genuine research he would have a study number and an ethics approval number. There would also be a part that tells you the purpose of the study and explains consent etc. and that participating means you have consented. There would also be a contact in the university you could contact to discuss the study more prior to consent. This is absolutely not real research - this is some kid hoping to get some dirt to take back to his shitty subreddit like a triumphant toad. That he doesn't know how real research projects need to set up is glaring
- I work in research and great deal of my research is interviewing people - I need to have this research approved by ethics and my participants need to be fully informed and sign a consent form - our interviews are face to face or zoom etc. Phone sometimes. There would never be an instance where a participant and I would type questions and answers to each other over reddit. I would set up a proper interview that would be recorded, transcribed and analysed. His whole approach is way off and unprofessional.

Yikes. I had something similar about an FDS meet-up. I remember reading on here though that they never condone meet ups because of sketchy men. So I just ignored it.

Men ruin everything though I would love to go to an FDS meet-up 😔

It's bullshit.

Ok let's say he legitimately explore FDS... why doesn't he just, BROWSE the sub? Seriously, it's not like this sub posts are private. Posting comments or posts are a different thing, but he wouldn't need to participate to explore the sub.

Anyone with an actually working brain could just look at all the info we have here, and refer to it according to any "questions" they have. We literally have all the information for all the questions anyone could have in regards to FDS. No sorry "researcher," your questions are not unique.

And all of the above is considering by IGNORING the fact this is not how actual research goes, as KindredMaximus mentioned.

Block and delete, they're just trying to troll you. And in the very small chance they weren't.... #notallmen but #mostmen; we're not here to allow "give him a chance, he's an actually nice guy" gaslighting bullshit anymore.

I know I didn’t censor info, not trying to get banned. Just don’t want to be trolled or have others trolled.

Remember when Facebook started tagging us in photos? So back in ‘05 I went to one of those parties where they sell you things like dildos and vibrators. And of course the host took pictures of us holding them. Right after I got a message exactly like this, from some scrote wanting to talk to me about what sex toys I use! Gross, thanks Facebook for starting this bs.

Nah, my DMs and chat are closed.

I do want to point out he's created his account today and never posted or commented anything on reddit. Block that troll, don't engage.
