People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

nothing wrong with being an unnamed background character.

The novel Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu is a neat story about a self-described "generic Asian man" who is stuck in the "background Oriental male" role while aspiring to be the "kung fu guy"

I always liked at the end of Starship Troopers it was Zim who ended up capturing the brain bug after taking a demotion to fight on the front lines.
