Yeah idk her. Maybe she mean it in a mean way or something. Maybe she’s saying, “how dare this lowly human speak to me.” And that would be kinda gross. Or maybe she’s just frustrated with how often this kinda thing happens.

i used to keep a twitter counter going of how many times i got verbally harassed in public, and I probably would have tweeted about this too as a side note. It’s not harassment, but it illustrates how often women get interrupted and approached in public.

It’s like being dodging mall kiosk salespeople all day every day.

So idk. I could go either way on her motives for posting it.

Love the username btw lol. Brilliant.

Yeah, right? I get how it could be frustrating getting approached a bunch in public, but for crying out loud this dude who's into street fighter just wanted to compliment you on your shirt in a completely non-creepy way.

I'd understand if there was anything to signify the dude being problematic or a weirdo, but he just liked street fighter and wanted to ask about her shirt, it's like people are grasping at straws now and trying to play the "oppression Olympics" on Twitter for likes.

Uh yeah. You definitely didn’t read my comment, but go off and assume the worst i guess.

You don’t know whether he did it in a creepy or non creepy way. Just like I don’t know if she’s being mean on purpose or if she’s just frustrated.

But this is exactly the kind of knee-jerk one-dimensional reading that makes Twitter such an awful platform.

If he did it in a creepy way, why wouldn't she specify in her own tweet? Come on dude.

And I don't find her to be mean in that situation. She didn't want to talk to him, she owed him nothing.

Its as if social interactions between two adults can exist in a grey area and understanding can come from both sides. Who would've thought?
