Edit: For transparency sake, the original image was only the first tweet and none of the follow ups. The negative nancies compelled me to point out their nonsense.

    After 4 years it’s only not creepy if it’s an acquaintance and they wouldn’t message on instagram for something like this.

    It’s funny how these feel “good stories” are what people try to do and it’s always don’t be a creep, in real life it’s weird. This isn’t a fantasy story. Straight up fucking weird in every level after that amount of time.

      Person is chillin’ reading about their favorite sports team. Gets to the bottom of the article and sees the standard Photo/Name/Title signature of the author many sites use. Recognizes the face and name of the lady they had a nice chat with on a dating app. Remembers author mentioning they wanted to be a sports writer. Sends DM saying congrats.

      If you think that’s creepy, the problem might be you.

      Bro, chill. You have no real context into the situation. Hell, her tweet might even be fake. Stop virtue signaling about shit you’re not even involved with.

        For fucking real. This has become a far too common thing for people to get upset for shit on behalf of people who don’t care.

        Yes except for 99% of the time it goes the opposite way, we shouldn’t be glorifying the one in a billion times it doesn’t.
