One person's "creepy" is another's "possibly wholesome"


Someone posted this picture and commented "Creepy".

I don't find it creepy at all. I find it helpful and compassionate. An example of someone being part of the solution rather than contributing to the problem.

Plus, judging by the patch, she may be a Browncoat.

One of those big, influential Republican "libertarian" accounts said this is "a drug dealer who will touch you". Others said it's probably a guy (and that this proves ill-intent), who needs shampoo, is a pedo, and will rape you.

On the whole, most people were aligned against this person. I think, without knowing more, making the assumptions they made about this person is just sad.

It shows me what others think of me any time I reach out to help a stranger. The assumptions they will make about my motivations and character. If I cared more about what people think, it might make me change my behavior.
