An Alleged Mormon Propagandist, And More Of This Week's 'One Main Character'
Somehow, taking several hours to make a PB&J sandwich isn't the worst part of the story.

Every day, somebody says or does something that earns them the scorn of the internet. Here at Digg, as part of our mission to curate what the internet is talking about right now, we rounded up the main characters on Twitter from this past week and held them accountable for their actions.



This week, we've got a bad Taylor Swift take, casual crush-shaming and some questionable trad-wife content.



Tuesday

@xjulyunendingx

The character: Char, judgy X user, adult crush shamer

The plot: As far as viral posts on X go, this certainly isn't anywhere near the worst, but it did rattle quite a few people. Making folks feel bad for being single in their 20s, even if it's ultimately "just a joke," isn't the vibe we want in 2024.


The repercussion: Well over 20 million users saw that post, so the insufferable number of mentions from people outraged at the single-shaming is a punishment we don't envy. This is a bad take, for sure, but we're miles away from needing anything approaching a proper "canceling." We'll just revel in the sincerity of the replies.

@emilykmay

The character: Emily, X poster, music listener, Swiftie

The plot: X user Emily posed a question to the world last week, asking if all men had someone who spoke to them in the same way Taylor Swift spoke to all women.



The repercussion: People replied in their droves to this patronizing and ridiculous question — which was either meant in jest to farm responses to a blue check mark-verified account, or meant seriously, naively suggesting that every woman on planet earth considers Taylor Swift the spokesperson their entire gender. As always, the mocking quotes and responses made up for the headache the original post induced upon being read.

Sunday

Nara Smith

The character: Nara Smith, model, trad-wife, alleged Mormon propagandist

The plot: In recent weeks, videos from model Nara Smith's TikTok account have been shared on X by users expressing envy at her luxurious lifestyle. The posts show her doing things like shopping for expensive items with her husband, or, as seen in the below post, leisurely crafting a PB&J sandwich for her child from scratch (yes, including the bread).


The repercussion: Responses ranged from joking about her kid having to wait several hours for a sandwich they'd asked for in the morning, to accusing Smith of being in a cult and sharing videos of her "dreamy" trad-wife activities as propaganda (it seems relevant to point out here that her husband, fellow model Lucky Blue Smith, is a member of the Mormon Church).

Read the previous edition of our One Main Character column, which featured a Trump and pizza fan, a perennial right-wing grifter and an NBA team who should've thought twice before posting a graphic on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

    This is all of the exposure to social media that I need to know that I am not missing anything by avoiding it like the plague.
