If it does, something I think would be horrible, and she still clicked accept - she's just a moron. But does have a place to be upset because the preview is lewd.
No place to be upset. She had to advertise that she was receptive to anonymous pictures from strangers in public first. Zero excuses. This is her fault and her fault alone.
She might as well have walked up to drunk, homeless men and said "I'm not asking to see anything, but if you offer to show me, I'll guarantee that I'll at least look at the preview."

AirDropping penis pics is the latest horrifying subway trend

Given the way this process works I'm thinking all the people jumping on the "Why ever would you hit the accept button, these people are so stupid." bandwagon are likely on the wrong track. Since you see the picture regardless of choice due to the preview I can only imagine that victims are hitting accept to preserve some evidence of what is happening.
They probably should be more careful about their settings but it doesn't make the perpetrators any less garbage.

@ndc Do you get a preview of a note?
“iPhone 1 would like to share a note with you,” read the note sent at 6:51 p.m. She hit “Accept” and was horrified by what she saw. “It was just a huge close-up picture of a disgusting penis,” said Carlson, of Bushwick, Brooklyn. The message was titled “Straw” and was sent by an anonymous stranger.

The appropriate action there is to screenshot the request. There is no paper trail after the fact to know how you acquired the picture that is now in your camera roll.

@aaronstuder
Perhaps not, was basing on screenshots posted by @JaredBusch . Which I suppose is possibly showing a different process than was discussed in article.
