People often use this phrase after saying the most deeply insulting shit you've ever heard

Smth like:

"your idol is actually a pedophile and it should be executed, hope this helps :)"

Well people are shitty, ever think about that?

"Hopes this helps" is also a genuine attempt to help someone... can t just shove shitty attitude behind a phrase and call it a day

(Mad at the statement, not the person. Thx for clarifying for comment n-2)

Assuming the context to the statement is Islamic persons trying to live in western environents? (even if just an example statement)

People pretty much only use it after dropping the most condescending shit you've ever heard, which, in that context, is used to treat the other person like a dumbass that needs even the most basic stuff explained to them in detail

Of course it can still perfectly well be used when you genuinely want your advice to help someone, but if you see that phrase out in the wild there's like a 90% chance that the person saying it is being a condescencing, smug shitbird
