Imagine going to attend a match and having a good time, only to come home and realize that your pictures have been circulating on social media with the creepiest captions, that’s PSL for girls. In am already toxic society, this perverse behaviour is the last thing we need.
Ever since PSL has begun, there have been an array of thirsty tweets popping up with every match, and the netizens are sick of it!
PSL season is a constant reminder of how tharki (and proud!!) pakistani awam really is

People have been sharing absolutely crass tweets about the women in the stadium:

From colour to pigmentation, no one was spared:

It’s 2020 and people still think calling girls ‘bachi’ is acceptable:

But the bar was lowered from bachi to maal immediately in the very next tweet:

Sick of the toxic tweets, the netizens made it a point to call out on everyone who was involved:

Absolutely!
Anyone posting pictures, without permission, of girls and boys watching PSL matches, should be in jail.

People made sure they came back with solid facts!

People were upset that they can’t even enjoy a match in peace:
Ever since PSL has started, there are pictures circulating of girls as well as boys sitting in the audience with thirst/desperate captions on it. How low our people can go? People can’t even watch a match in peace? Is this Islamic republic of pakistan?

Some spoke from their personal experience:
I asked my sister if she wants to go watch PSL and she said she doesn't want her picture with wierd captions on the internet and I felt that. She is a crazy cricket fan and she can't enjoy it in the stadium because of creeps like this https://t.co/J6CGZw8I4d

Many suggested that the PCB management should set some ground rules for the camera men and the spectators:

People were feeling sorry for the women:

Imagine going to a match to watch cricket and someone posts your photo calling you a cute bachi https://t.co/2gwLeRm8Hl

A very low blow:
Please refrain from posting girls pictures from PSL matches. It is really low, grow up. #PSL5

It had many believing that men are trash:

Literally the worst thing to witness:
woman bringing another woman down on social media is the worst thing to witness https://t.co/DBBQRDKCEk

Girls were sharing how they would hate to have their pictures circulated like this:
Stop being a fucking creep. I’d hate my picture being circulated around with weird captions and so would any other girl, including your family. https://t.co/EV2yIuYnQ3

Things people do for attention:
First he shows what a low life he is n then he enjoys the fame. Such is this social media. Exposing others has its cost. https://t.co/lByKEDHtoM

People were ashamed:

Many just wanted to put an end to the toxic meme culture:
Ffs stop posting random girls' pictures (from PSL) with your creepy bullshit.
Ajeeb chutiya qom!!!

And while many tweets are still out there, one of the guys who circulated a girl’s picture earlier took it down and apologized:
