Yeah its like they don't understand the difference between just looking at someone that has a cool haircut and someone creep staring at you to where you feel unsafe.
I don't want people staring at me like I'm a zoo animal. Bur apparently people in the comments here don't understand that.
I mean, cockatiels can be seen in a zoo.
If you look like one, people will stare..
Cool story chief.
Look at your getup, do you want attention or not?
"everything I don't like is attention-seeking"
Who said I didn’t like it? I just think it’s silly to draw attention to yourself then not want that attention.
So if people dress a certain way its okay to stare like a weirdo? The post isn't about just looking at someone. Its old creeps staring at young girls. There is a difference.
Weirdoing begets weirdoing. All sexuality and age stuff aside, she is being weird too, which seemed like the point here.
Though I wonder how much age really has to do with it. These days her classmates probably are running AI off her yearbook photo, if not her instagram. So an old guy looking at her funny in meatspace is probably more innocuous.
"She's asking to be objectified."
No, she's not. And this sexist argument needs to stop.
Sexist to notice someone with bright unnatural hair and heavy near clown makeup, sure. She’s keeping such a low profile, I can’t believe she would be looked at.
I agree it’s attention getting but that’s nowhere near the same as “asking to be objectified.” That’s fucked you think they’re the same
When I was 18, this girl would have been my idea of absolute perfection.
The narcissism on so many levels is such an adorable aspect of this generation
The narcissism on so many levels is such an adorable aspect of ~~this~~ every generation
Same thing happened in : 90s with Goths, 80s with New Wave , 70s with gender fluid androgyny, 60s with hippies, 50s with rock and roll... 20s with flapper girls.
People like to star apparently.
Huh. There's always someone who looks like someone you have almost forgotten.
I'm so confused! All of the comments seem to understand, but I've got NOTHING. Is she doing something? I just see a smile!
She's trying to do ominous wide-eyes, like a manic character from a cartoon or something, the idea being that she would "scare away" the older gentleman with her "unhinged" look.
Of course to anyone who has lived even a week in the real world, instead it just looks like somebody trying to looking intimidating and failing
Intimidation isn't the goal, mocking the creeper is.
I don't really see how this can be mocking, it's just weird, which I am aware is the point
would not work on me
