Comment on Am I ugly?
cabbage@piefed.social 1 week ago...but when you click those links in google reverse image search, they show completely different people. Except the one posted an hour ago. I have no idea what is going on here, just seems weird to me.

Over on Reddit, people posting pictures of some good looking person and asking "am I ugly" is a pretty common way of farming karma.
Reverse image search is a way to find where pictures have been posted before on Google. Here's the search for your image. It appears Google and Reddit has gotten bad to the point where they say your picture was posted 7 years ago, even though this would appear to be false.
Combine the two, and there's a perfect storm where people assume you're some 50 year old guy with a weird kink. Sorry about that.

No worries! And don't let the negativity in this thread get to you - it's nothing personal, people are just convinced you're not real. If anything, I guess that's a weird compliment of sorts. The best one could hope for coming from the Internet, perhaps.
