Guy Gets Accused Of ‘Catfishing’ And Banned From Tinder After This Girl Reported His Profile Pic
Our beloved Baby Yoda from The Mandalorian is a real heartbreaker and Tinder account wrecker. So if you want a happy love life, stay away from Baby Yoda! That’s the lesson that 21-year-old Chicago comedian Carter Hambley learned after a very weird encounter on the dating app.
Carter got reported for catfishing and was banned from Tinder just because he photoshopped Baby Yoda into his profile pic. Somebody couldn’t take a joke and blamed the comedian for something that he obviously didn’t want to do.
In case you didn’t know, catfishing is when somebody creates a fake online persona in order to lure you into a relationship or take advantage of you in some other way. In this case, Carter wasn’t catfishing because you can see him and his honest to God love of Star Wars in his photo.

Meet Carter. He had a ridiculous encounter on Tinder that ended up with him getting banned for a hilarious reason

Catfishing is all about lying about who you are, what you do, what you like, and what you look like, all for the sake of some unethical goal. Some scammers do this in order to lure money out of people’s pockets. While others like to build online relationships and create the illusion that they’re romantically involved with someone, even though they’ve never met in real life.
If you want to know if you’re being catfished on dating sites or on social media, the golden rule is this: if you think it’s too good to be true, it probably is. But if you want to make darn sure, then you can try verifying the mysterious stranger’s identity.
Suggest video chatting or calling them. And if you’re feeling particularly brave, offer to meet them in person (just remember to stick to crowded places and to let your friends know where and when you’re going out).
Chances are, a catfish will use every excuse in the book to wriggle their way out of any contact where their ‘perfect’ online persona could shatter. Meanwhile, Carter was completely upfront about what he looks like and that he likes Baby Yoda. He’s the opposite of a catfish—he’s a dogwhale if you will (and if that’s not a thing, it totally should be!).
Here’s how people reacted to Carter’s story. Some of them even had similar tales to tell

So the people on Tinder didn't do a double check? They just banned a profile because someone falsely reported it?
What do you think their customer "service" exists off? They get loads of these and just randomly block people. Glad to be ok enough to not have to had use it.... The good old days of ICQ and using it with someone you know from work ;)
ICQ was great!
Yeah no kidding. I could never meet or date a person I met online. Nope. I like face to face relationships.
It's very likely an automated process. A person doesn't even see the complaint, the bot just sees the complaint and locks the account and that's it. You don't have to pay employees to do a decent job a bot can do terribly.
It could be a bot. Easy to check if the photo is altered.
So terms say "do not photoshop". And this guy photoshopped baby yoda into the picture. The only thing that is mildly surprising is the lack of possibility of an appeal.
Same with YouTube and other social media, Call of Duty and other games. I've known several people who supposedly violated the terms of service but they'll never tell you anything more than, "Read the terms of service."
Welcome to censorship. Liking it much?

female reported it, so guy is guilty by default ;) welcome to real world.
What level of ignorance can report a man for catfishing with baby Yoda???
Michał Jastrzębski, c'mon, you're usually more intelligent than this. Maybe humour is not your forte? Good lord, I can picture your daughter/daughter-in-law telling your grandkids "Yes, Gramps is very annoying, but he's 97 years old, his jokes are not going to get better with age."
Humour wasn't Carter''s forte either. As Roz didn't get the joke?

It is not ignorance, I think. Just confusion combined with with a too easy reporting feature that lacks the chance for appeal. Haven't you had your jokes fall flat sometimes?
None. No "level of ignorance" could do that. It's only a "measurement". Measurements can't type and send reports. Only a humans can.
It was really good photoshop I guess lol

Not really fair of you to judge all of us based on the behaviour of this artichoke. Having 2 X chromosomes doesn't make us all as moronic as her.
This does not surprise me at all. Most apps use bots to do the banning and complaints are never reviewed by a human. I got banned from Twitter when I was reported for making terrorist threats. During an exchange with a good friend on Twitter, he threatened to slightly loosen all of the caps on my markers so they would dry out (I am a graphic designer and I am obsessed with my markers and no one is allowed to touch them or use them or borrow them or even look at them) and retaliated by saying that one day he was going to come home and find his dog wearing a Christmas sweater (dogs in clothes annoy him). Someone reported my comment about putting a sweater on his dog as a terrorist threat and I am now banned from Twitter for the rest of my life. I even appealed the ruling by Twitter and was told that the comment was enough to make someone feel threatened enough to report it so I can never come back to Twitter.
GirlFriday, 1) love your wit, 2) that is the most insane reason to be banned from twitter! :o And to think the amount of insanity being tweeted on a regular basis without repercussion...... This world, is nuts.
WHAT?! That is a funny comeback and completely not terrorist related. Even if both the dog and owner are't into seasonal dog wear, it's just an insult to fashion, not a threat. UGH.
Woooowwww...... that's horrible. I got banned from the next door app for a few weeks because some porch pirate stole a christmas box that came from my husband's 83 year old GRANDFATHER. In it was a check for the kids (like 150 bucks) some clothes for our youngest and my fave coffee in the whole world for me. I was beyond pissed. I wasn't even mad about the clothes or the money that can be replaced but this sweet a*s man went and bought my fave coffee and sent it to me. I posted her pic and told everyone in the neighborhood that if she was that hard off I would've given her the clothes, hell even the money, but the coffee? Too far, bring that back or the coffees weight in her flesh. (I was joking of course even put a smiley face) I did tell "her" that she will be sitting in jail over 150 bucks because the idiot cashed the check and I found her fb profile and we reported her so not worth it on her part. And I got banned. lol. I hate humanity at this point.
This doesn't surprise me. Facebook disabled my group as spam when I shared a link to a Library of Congress Photography collection. And again the appeals process is a joke and there is no customer service.
This is even more ridiculous considering people are sending actual death threats to others on Twitter.
How come Trump doesn't get banned, with all the rubbish he spouts?
I can't upvote you enough.
I got banned from Twitter about two days after joining, without ever making a post of any kind. I only signed up to be able to read other people's posts. Yet there it was, a message telling me that I'd violated their terms of service. ???
Tinder runs on auto pilot, pouring money into the owners bank account to finance his lavish lifesyle snorting cocaine and f*****g whores.
