"I am an innocent beautiful lesbian and I don't deserve this"

I'm seeing a few people asking what is wrong with this post, or why this is TiA material. Here's my perspective.

Girl takes pictures for Snapchat to complain to her friends about something that happened at work.

We're fine, the guy who said that to her is a jerk.

Pictures have a countdown timer in the corner, and may have been screenshotted by someone she sent them to or someone who saw the public "story" or whatever they're called.

We now don't know whether this is Target-Girl who posted this, or one of her Snapchat friends.

Posts the pics on Tumblr

Whoever posted the pics wants an audience that was bigger than the Snapchat friends list. As someone who worked at Target, you get incredibly bored working there and you need to have a good imagination to entertain yourself during your shift.

So if it's Target-Girl posting the pics, this situation may have been exaggerated or made up because she knew she would be posting it on Tumblr later. This may have been a way to entertain herself during her shift.

If someone copied the pics and put them on their own Tumblr to get an audience, anything they say is now unreliable because they're not the person this happened to.

Adds irrelevant information to get those oppression points.

What does lesbianism have to do with anything? She said that she was in a relationship, which is a much better way to turn a creeper down than outing yourself at work. Target nametags don't include your sexual orientation, so the guy would have had no way of knowing.

And again, if it's someone who stole the pics for their own Tumblr, then they're only adding the comment for the extra attention and it may not be true.

We now have a post that says "Pay attention to me! I'm a lesbian! Some gross old MAN thought I was attractive enough to ask out for coffee! And then this icky MAN asked me to cheat when I told him I was in a relationship! Ugh, men are gross, amiright?"

It's TiA material because someone is using their identity to ask for attention, pity, and sympathetic rage.

If /r/thathappened though, I think we can all agree that the guy was a socially inept jerk who should know better by the age of 65 to ask random employees out for coffee and then ask someone to cheat on their partner.
