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 a bad take on Japanese culture, a guy who hates his imaginary wife and a tweet that's disappointed Jonas Brothers fans.


Tuesday

Bruno Maçães

The character: Bruno Maçães, Portuguese, philosopher, Japan visitor, writer, anti-American culture crusader

The plot: Foreign correspondent and multi-hyphenate Maçães had been in Japan these past two weeks when an epiphany came to him. "Been in Japan two weeks, have yet to see a single sign of American cultural influence," he posted on X. "A situation not seen in maybe a century."

A hot take that included Japanese and American culture is sure to expect some chatter, but when it's a blue-check European who makes such a claim, you know the comments are going to get spicy.


The repercussion: Surprisingly, no one bothered to interact directly with Maçães. Instead, everybody, from Japanese posters to Americans, decided to simply clown on his opinion. Some took it seriously and did dive into the connections, while others simply laughed it off.

@therealjayber

The character: @therealjayber, tweeter, wife imaginer

The plot: On the weekend, X user Jay decided to share just one of the reasons he doesn't want to get married and have a family.

"I know there will be endless pressure from my so-called wife to 'get a real job,'" he wrote. "She won't genuinely support my entrepreneurship dreams, because, let's face it, she has her own stupid dreams that she wants me to fund."


The repercussion: The people of X took it upon themselves to remind Jay that the wife he'd written such a lengthy, bitter thread about didn't actually exist.

Tuesday

Nick Jonas

The character: Nick Jonas, Jonas brother, musician, Elon fanboy

The plot: Elon Musk has been in the news non-stop since Donald Trump's election victory. If you thought you'd seen enough of him, things are about to get worse over the next four years — or until their big fall-out.

This past week, Nick Jonas threw in his support for Musk and his grand plans. "Take us to the Year 3000," the youngest Jonas brother wrote, referencing one of the group's songs while quote-tweeting a Musk post that — you guessed it — praised himself.


The repercussion: The Jonas Brothers have been laying low for a while, and haven't been much in the news of late — but this one post brought all the discourse back. Immediately. Everyone took the moment to air out their grievances with Nick; many folks didn't hold back, while a lot of fans were disappointed.

    How you make fun of Nick Jonas fanboying Musk while all you keeping doing is promoting his platform each week? Stop posting X links! Otherwise, you got that same Main Character energy as Jonas.
