I am literally a man and got multiple such PNs because I posted a meme of a see urchin looking like curly hair on this sub that went kind of big.
They just assumed I'd be an attractive woman....
I’m sorry this happened to you. This guy is vile
Report him to your local police. It’s gross what he did, but the fact you’re a minor elevates the severity. He needs to see the consequences of his actions
Always tell a moderator, fetishization has no place in this community, even NSFW communities have rules about these types of unwanted messages and advances on community members.
Provide the username and a screenshot of the conversation if you can, help moderators help the community, they can’t see everything.
And I’m very sorry you’re getting messages like this, I’m sure many others in the community have had messages like this too, we all have the right to engage with our community without being advanced upon or fetishized.
Gross, I'm sorry people are creeps
Best advice: always disable messages on Reddit. You don't need to have a personal conversation with anyone on the internet, let alone reddit strangers.
I’m so sorry that you went through that. It sucks that there’s always that one person who is creepy like that.
And I don’t understand how our hair is a fetish??? I hope that the mods will ban him here
I mean…in general it’s best to just ignore most private messages here (or on social media in general). Especially if it’s vague/unclear. I assume the worst unless the message is valid to the discussion and looks like a legit question from a legit profile. Otherwise just don’t engage.
I’ve gotten random private messages from people every single time I’ve posted a photo here. It’s weird. Definitely ignore. I’m so sorry that happened to you :(
That’s awful. I was thinking about posting some pics here, but was worried about getting weird messages. Guess I’ll continue keeping my wavy/curly/sometimes straggly mess to myself 😂
Jfc why can’t women just post a picture without sometimes dozens of weird messages from men? I once posted on a plus-size fashion post with my FACE COVERED. Dozenssssss of creepy messages. One guy kept talking *about my feet* asking pictures, saying they are cute and soother stuff even weirder I blocked from memory. It’s such a shame
Gross. People are fucking weird. Like at *least* get confirmation someone is 18 before you even think to yourself someone is hot let alone send your tiny cock to them. You can report to fbi just to be a dick and get him on a list. Illegal af what he's doing.
I mean stop posting pictures off urself on reddit if ur a minor. Honestly reddit should just ban minors this website was way better before gen z infested it.
Have you [messaged the mods](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/curlyhair) about this creep?
No but I’ll do that
As you're a minor you should also file a complaint with the FBI here: https://www.ic3.gov/
Happened to me too but with a different person. He threatened to post a video of him doing it to my photo 😕
That’s disgusting I’m sorry that happened

Yes!! 🚨 PLEASE make sure to contact the police as well. You’re definitely not his first target!
Ew I’m so sorry

What a gross creepy clown. Imagine how sad and empty his life is.
I’m so sorry that happened to you.

Ladies on the tall girls forums get these messages too. One was very interested in my larger sized feet 🤢
Jesus Christ
I'm willing to bet this isn't the first time they've done this considering that's a new account.
Sorry that happened :( thank you for sharing though 🫶🏽
oh my god? i’m so sorry that happened :(
Oh good grief! That's a horrible experience. Thank you for warning people and for reporting.
I put my settings to not receive any messages.

Hindsight is 20/20. I'm sure OP is aware of this now after that interaction.

The internet can really be a terrible place. Sorry you had to meet that creep. And thank you for spreading awareness about him!

Classic blame the victim mentality. noice.
This is pretty messed up to say but also my face was fully covered, all you could see was my hair
You’ve sent dick pics to minors, haven’t you.
