A Guy Celebrating His Girlfriend's IUD, And More Of This Week's 'One Main Character'
The suggestion that dogs should be allowed wherever babies are has sparked debate online.

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 X from this past week and held them accountable for their actions.



This week, we've got someone asking about life at 25, x and a controversial tweet about birth control.


Wednesday

Susan Alexandra

The character: Susan Alexandra, business owner, dog owner, bad samaritan

The plot: Jewelry designer Alexandra recently appeared on the popular social media series "Subway Takes", where she explained why she thinks dogs should be allowed in whichever public spaces babies are.

To his credit, show host Kareem Raha did reject the take, but you can imagine what kind of responses this birthed once it was shared to X.

The repercussion: The tried and tested formula of "public transit + the right hot take" always generates tons of discourse — and the idea of putting dogs next to babies on the social scale, allowing them in theaters, grocery stores and beyond, was hot enough for even some dog owners to chime in.

@redpandafan001

The character: @redpandafan001, 24-year-old person, inquisitive mind

The plot: This person asked a fairly simple question about whether or not turning one year older will improve their life, and ended up on the business end of X virality. Considering how abhorrent the behavior usually has to be to make it to Main Character status, this post is confusingly mild.


The repercussion: Unfortunately, the answer to the question is "No, things don't meaningfully improve at age 25" — but that wasn't enough to stop a deluge of replies. RIP your notifications, @redpandafan001, and happy (eventual) birthday.

Friday

Adam Kessel

The character: X user, guy whose roommate's girlfriend just got an IUD

The plot: Last week, someone called Adam Kessel tweeted "Roommate's girl got an IUD, safe to say he's pretty excited," along with a photo of (presumably) said roommate doing a celebratory jump in the air.


The repercussion: The many responses to this post were mixed. Some were uncomfortable or even angry at the sight of a man celebrating his girlfriend going on one of the more invasive, often uncomfortable, forms of birth control — while others argued that a woman having the freedom to take charge of her reproductive health is only a good thing.
