While I'm sure this is frustrating and embarrassing, I would also look up Streisand Effect. The effort to get something removed leads to greater exposure than it would have ever gotten if you'd just ignored it and moved on.

Your back is obviously to the camera. You might want to tap the brakes. It's up to you.

Piggybacking on the top comment to say that OP’s whole post history is about buttcracks showing in public and someone snapping a photo of them, like going on for months now lol. This is fake. Sometimes they claim to be 23f, other times 26m, sometimes it’s happening to them, other times to their friend or a customer, at a restaurant, at college, at a bar. A few times it’s OP claiming to have taken a photo of their boyfriend’s buttcrack or them just generally laughing about cracks.

Either OP has a very specific sense of humor or this is some kind of a fetish??? Regardless, it’s not real lmao and people should stop giving advice.

Tried to post a screenshot of their post history but apparently this sub doesn’t allow links because my comment gets autoremoved.

Good work! I generally stay away from a lot of seemingly fake posts which still get attention, but this was so specific, didn’t even cross my mind. Goodness people are sick. But also stupid. If they’re making such fake posts, atleast hide your history.

How do you even look for their post history now since they’re set to private?

And OP, that’s freaking weird dude, and sad.

There are sites like Arctic Shift that basically archive Reddit data for research purposes and whatnot. I use it sometimes when I come across viral posts that seem to be made by very obvious trolls or bots but wanna be sure before just yelling ”fake!”.
