"We need to be discreet because of our jobs, can share faces after match"

I don’t understand any of this. Someone help me.

It's a twist on the usual "I asked her out, now I asked her to marry me" posts about couples but the twist is that she said no instead of yes.

Thank you

It's a play on a format of post that goes:

I asked my crush out on a date x years ago.
Last night I just asked them to marry me.
They said yes both times and I'm so glad I had the courage to speak up.

As you read the story, you generally assume that they were dating and eventually got engaged. The picture shows a couple that you assume is them before you finish reading. Then you get to the line about how they said no both times and realize it's not the typical boring engagement post, but a joke about being a creep.

Thanks, I thought it was a famous couple or something and I was missing some backstory content.

"Ha ha funny harassment amirite?"

Friend I don't think it really happened

That's beside the point. If you understand why it's not okay to make racist or otherwise-bigoted jokes, you should understand why this sort of humor perpetuating the normalization of harassment isn't a great idea either.

Then why is it okay to harass people with stupid "You just have to be brave enough to ask her?" style posts, those probably hurt anyone who tried that and got rejected.
