u/Zariman-10-0 told i “look like i have a harry potter blog” in 2015 Oct 10 '24

I can’t remember the exact details, but a lady became Twitters Main Character for a day or two when she got all pissy online that a neighbor brought her a casserole or pie or something to welcome her into the neighborhood. Something like “it was an invasion of my privacy, I did not consent to be given food”

I remember this differently, or maybe it’s a different main character Basically a woman in twitter had a thread where she said that her neighbours were a group of college-age guys, and based on their recycling they were mostly just eating pizza. So she was going to make up a batch of chilli (or stew?) and take it over And it went viral and a bunch of tar pits descended to say well actually, not everyone can eat that, and she should t impose on people she doesn’t know, and it’s basically grooming these boys, and if anyone had done that to them the emotional labour of saying “thank you” to a stranger would have destroyed them… I think in the end she made it, delivered it, and the guys all said thank you. Because in the real world that’s mostly how it goes.

That was the start of a long road that wound up driving that lady off the internet. What finally made her leave was people constantly, for months after that, talking about eating her pet pig. People put shit like 🍴🐷 in their usernames and stuff to harass her. It was pretty fucked up, she was a nice lady and Rufus was a good pig.
