    It definitely can be all those things, and often is. But it’s almost impossible to discern the overall tone of the initial text without knowing the person and their relationship. I do think it’s entirely within the realm of possibility that this could be a benign request between two healthy adults that would have been respected regardless of whether the individual agreed to unfollow or not.

      They also shared this specific snippet of text online at some point. That’s another hint towards it not being entirely okay with at least one of them.

      Mhm, the submissive followup says a lot. Otherwise I agree. We are speculating. :)
