Those Chinese character tasks is some the dumbest shit I do on MTurk. People who use that for research purposes are idiots. If I'm ignoring the shit before it, be it pictures or words, or Trumps tiny penis, then all the characters are unpleasent and I hate them.
Press "E" or "I" until you go blind.....

It sounds like you should probably avoid doing those types of HITs then. There's no need to be aggressive toward requesters who choose to use those types of tasks.
Well, I'm not really aggressive towards requesters. Words are just words and honestly that was just to make my post more interesting to read but they are dumb and this is why. The instructions for those tasks always specifically and clearly say to ignore the thing before the Chinese characters. Be objective. If you were actually being objective and ignoring those things like the instructions tell you to, they wouldn't be influencing you at all. Personally I usually find all the characters appealing but that isn't what the researchers are looking for, they are actually looking for you to be influenced by the words before the character. Thus it's a contradiction and that is why using that for research is bullshit and many people consider psychology a pseudo-science because of scenarios exactly like that.
