the oppa homeless style investigation (so far)

• this is as far as we know the only existing image of the mythical ‘oppa homeless style’ post
• it was posted to imgur on the 1st of march, 2014, and appeared on /r/thatHappened/ on a thread titled ‘Fedora’d villain shames woman for giving to the homeless’
• the top comment says: “This is so bad I’m starting to wonder if this was made up just for this sub.”
• @waltzingbears​, who also believes the post might be fake, notes: “the screenshot shows it being reblogged by another user but the tags on the post look more like tags you’d add on an original post, not a reblog”
• in response to @waltzingbears​ observation, an anon sent me a message, suggesting that the weird tags could be explained by a “popular plugin called Missing E” which “automatically added the tags of the person you were reblogging from (in this case, perhaps the original post) to your own reblog.”
• to further our investigation, @swordcats contacted the reddit user who posted the thread. the user responded, saying they believe they “found it on 4chan”, adding that it was “probably fake”

if anyone has more information that could help the investigation, please let me know
