    Call me crazy, but I think it was just a joke continuing along the lines of OPs “I’m not picky” joke, on a shitpost community, not a serious request to be OP’s partner.

    Like if I commented “eh if you’re fine being less picky, I, Dave, can be your girlfriend”, would I really be a weirdo sex pest like you’re making out? Or would I just be someone having a joke on the internet?

      That’s fair, but there’s also the context of some very aggressive “I can unstraighten you” peeps on the fediverse. Mostly femboys and trans women. They’re all over blahaj.

        i mean the idea that most people are straight is made up by modern society, why would modern people suddenly be ramrod straight when historically it’s all been rather wishy-washy?

        same goes for the idea that almost everyone fits into a perfect male/female binary, when historically it’s been much more nuanced than that and many many cultures very clearly had more categories than that.

          Aww

          You’re like those poor Nation of Islam bastards who think Jesus and Mohammed were black. Desperately need to think that historically, you were the norm.

          Just embrace being different.

      Definitely possible, but why would someone post a picture of themselves as the punchline? Out of millions of pictures they could have found online?

      And yes, I reverse Google searched it and it was original lmao. I’ve put way too much effort into this

        I mean, why not? If they already have the picture on their phone anyway, or are lying down wearing them, it’s probably more convenient than using somebody else’s

        I definitely don’t think the person was genuinely propositioning OP.

        I find it much more likely that they were messing around, same as everybody else here, and somebody took it seriously and got offended at the joke, as sometimes happens.
