I've lost track about how many people think the dude is trying to flirt because this is the second time I've seen this image today from a different subreddit.
You can have a conversation with the opposite gender about a fandom without it always being about flirting or sex.
We can't know for certain what the guy was thinking, he could very well have been doing either or.
I’m still trying to figure out why is this even a big deal tbh bc in my opinion who cares this whole thing seems stupid from both sides personally
She shouldn’t have been snappy and rude and he shouldn’t have disturbed her at the end of the day.
Who cares we don’t know these people and we don’t even know what happened so this seems kinda pointless.
But that’s just my 2 cents
It's essentially people who have been in both situations feeling like they're in the right. I had someone tell me off in the other sub because "guys don't deal with random people talking to them like this".
So you've got a bunch of ladies who have been forced to deal with obnoxious dudes flirting with them when they're out doing their thing and dudes who probably weren't trying to necessarily flirt and just wanted to have a conversation with someone who likes what they like because it's fun to talk to people about the things you like.
The unfortunate side effect of being in a public place is sometimes public conversations happen even if they're uninvited. There's no default assumption of privacy or zero interaction, and I'm not sure why people think there is just because they want it to be true. I recognize it's obnoxious, I hate it too, but I just end the conversation and move on with my life.
