I spend a lot of time on Twitter. It’s a medium for news, humor, and furries, what’s better than that? Not only do I enjoy browsing all of the shitposting, but I also enjoy contributing to it. One of my favorite things to post on Twitter is beautiful original content that I find on my Facebook feed. Usually, I can comfortably roast some of the phenomenally stupid shit that my Facebook friends post, however, last night I flew too close to the sun.
I would say I tweet a screenshot from Facebook at least on a weekly basis. Last night I ran into an amazing post that I just had to roast on Twitter.
I thought it would be a standard procedure. I took the screenshot of the ridiculous post, I cropped out the name, and I tweeted it with some light humorous commentary. I went to check my notifications about 20 minutes later (because they were popping, let’s be real here), and I had a mention. When I opened it, it was someone else I know tagging the person who was responsible for the Facebook post. I panicked.
I immediately deleted the tweet and embarrassment began to overwhelm my guts. Soon I saw the one person I knew in my mentions with multiple other accounts now tagged. I couldn’t see any of my mentions because everyone else was on private and I didn’t follow any of them. I didn’t know what was being said. I tried to pretend the entire thing never happened and went to bed. The next day was a new day and I was ready to carry on with my bullshit.
I woke up this morning to a few texts from friends who happen to follow all of the private accounts from the previous night, and apparently, they went in on my ass on Twitter. I was getting subtweeted all to hell and they used every emoji in the book. Then, they came after me even harder for ignoring their tweets, except I never even saw them (because they’re on private). Then, they started tagging me in even more tweets so that when the world searched my handle they would see the whole ordeal (except, ya know, they’re on private). If we are being completely honest, I am terrified. What is stopping this person from showing up to my house to beat my ass? I have not even seen everything that I have been tagged in. They could be even angrier than I know. I don’t think I’m safe.
This entire situation has me questioning my street cred. How am I supposed to act tough out here when I cower away from some twitter drama? I believe that anyone in my situation would understand. Sometimes you fly too close to the sun, and you have to run away before you die. It’s that simple.
So where do I go from here? I went ahead and self-imposed a three-day trolling ban, but I don’t know if that’s even enough. Can I ever return to shitposting? Maybe this is the end for me. Maybe my next article will be a retirement from shitposting. All I know is I need to check myself before I wreck myself..

Imagine not knowing people can’t see your tweets because your account is private.
it took me a long time to learn that. lol I figured at least the person I tagged would get to see it
Never delete once the damage has already been seen by enough people. If you’re trolling someone chances are they deserve it. Keep doing you Delph.
This should be more of a lesson to the original Facebook poster. If someone doesn’t want people sharing their stupid shit on Twitter, then they shouldn’t post stupid shit.
Twitter fingers turn to chicken fingers
fuck now I’m hungry
I’m confused as to what was so awful about your original post that garnered this response?
Right? It was a pretty standard joke.
Yeah, I felt like I was missing some dark undertone at first.
I basically said I bet her kid couldn’t wait to grow up and find out that the only reason he existed was peach four loko.
I’m sure most of us were conceived during less than romantic moments. People who can’t take a joke suck.
If that’s true, then it’s hilarious. If it’s not true, it’s still hilarious, and the kid will definitely laugh about it one day. Sounds like she’s pissed because it’s true.
That post isn’t as bad as Gordon Hayward’s gender reveal video
Admittedly that’s hilarious and you should feel 0 shame. It’s social media, keyword “social”
They played themselves.
Oh ok. Yeah, I mean, who doesn’t have a Four Loko story?
Own it, man. No reason to back out now.
Natalie is right. Never backtrack.
Haha jokes on her, the children our generation produce won’t have a future lol
don’t tell my kid that plz
Thank god for the “memories” tab on Facebook. I log on every morning to see what dumb shit I wrote 9 years ago, laugh, then delete away.
A few years ago at college, I saw a girl with a baby in the dining hall and tweeted “wish I could borrow this girl’s baby in the dining hall for the white trash party I’m going to tonight” and I have no idea who showed it to her but my mentions blew up with this girl and her friends calling me a bitch for my tweet. One threatened to show the school so I’d be expelled (which like, I never threatened to harm this girl or her baby, it was a lighthearted comment) also it was a cute baby! Lesson learned, don’t joke about borrowing a baby
You could have had whomever dressed as Ricky Bobby sign that baby too. What a missed opportunity
People need to chill out and lighten up. That tweet was hilarious, I don’t understand why he/she can’t just take a joke.
