A Disrespectful Husband, And More Of This Week's 'One Main Character'
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.
Each day on twitter there is one main character. The goal is to never be it

This week, we've got a husband who thinks it's okay to trick his vegetarian wife into eating meat, a fashion TikToker with a bad take and someone who did not deserve a trip to Kyoto.
Wednesday
Kristina Avakyan
The character: @SubwaySessions, hypebeast, TikToker, annoying Downtowner
The plot: The first rule of the internet is that if you’re putting yourself out there for the world to see, there better not be dumb stuff you’ve done in the past that you haven’t already apologized for. Once you’re in the clear there, all you have to do is continue to stay out of trouble by not saying stupid sh—t.

Kristina Avakyan, a TikToker, went viral on Twitter after users discovered her Subway fit check videos, which one can safely say are quite left-field, even for Downtown Manhattan. Avakyan was naturally interviewed by NY Mag, and in the chat she berated both Queens and Harlem (yikes), saying that they just don’t get her vision, and that she’s grateful to be living in the Lower East Side, where they do.

Taking shots at Queens and Harlem in the same breath, just to defend your TikTok gimmick? Welcome to NY, prepare to get chewed out.
The repercussion: Has there ever been a quicker milkshake duck? Can't say for sure, because this one was self-inflicted.
need some haters to clock in at delancey-essex tomorrow

Tuesday
@p8stie
The character: @p8stie, Twitter user, entitled traveller
The plot: On Tuesday, @p8stie shared a video on Twitter captioned, "My final consensus on Kyoto, Japan," which consisted solely of her complaining about the city.
"In general, I am super disappointed in Kyoto — I thought this would be a traveller's dream," she says. "In reality, all I see in Japan so far is a scene that looks like something in north Alabama."
My final consensus on Kyoto, Japan.. pic.twitter.com/sjTuE9h5Nv
— Mariè (@p8stie) July 29, 2023
The repercussion: There's a possibility this is a bit, given some of the other, bizarre tweets on @p8stie's page — but either way, people on Twitter weren't happy.

Holy fuck… as dumb as the rocks you’re sitting on 🥱🤣 Go back to Bama then & stay there.

Translation: “this place didn’t meet the false expectations that I built for myself and it’s all the fault of the Japanese.”

Fascinating phenomenon of western tourists going to other countries to “experience other cultures” and then immediately despair when they experience other cultures instead of the vague, stereotypical image they had of these places https://t.co/qekmP5ImYt

Kyoto is beautiful as is much of that part of Japan, the mountains, temples, castles, world famous Kyoto ceramics. Talk about entitled

If there’s a place in Japan I’d like to visit, it would be a place like Kyoto, for exactly all the reasons you hate it.

@spacepanty
The character: @spacepanty, person in STEM, well adjusted IRL but not online
The plot: The crossover from Twitter being a magnetic, good place to see wacky takes into a playground for faceless, LinkedIn cosplayers to try and rile people up has been completed. Name- and face-less account @spacepanty recently tweeted how all their STEM bro friends, past the age of 30, are better than the "humanities" majors they've known.
by the time they hit 30, every stem bro in my personal life is wider read, more knowledgeable, more adventurous, better adjusted and more helpful to their communities than practically all the “humanities” majors I’ve known
— m o n d a y (@spacepanty) July 29, 2023
Taking wanton shots at humanities majors is very 2000-and-late, @spacepanty. That's all I can say.
Moral of the story: keep the LinkedIn-type stuff for LinkedIn, or in your drafts, otherwise people will come at you — because the "humanities vs STEM" debate, or whatever you want to call it, will never die.
Nice anecdotal evidence . Very Stem

Both are in fact very annoying, and on average neither group is terribly useful to anyone, so this is a bit like bragging about who is better at fitting a doorknob up their asshole https://t.co/f5etfYHsIS

In my experience as a 30 year old everyone I know who studied STEM is a transgender communist, while everyone I know who studied humanities is a transgender communist. Hope this clarifies things https://t.co/YXI3Ho0YSG

The Meat Teacher
The character: The Meat Teacher, guy who cooks meat, bad husband
The plot: A guy who cooks meat on TikTok under the name The Meat Teacher shared a video of him tricking his vegetarian wife into eating French fries cooked in beef tallow. In the clip, he tells her they’re cooked in almond oil, and has their kids go along with the prank.
I'd actually never speak to them again if someone did this to me. Imagine trusting someone enough to eat their food, only for them to completely violate your boundaries. Gross pic.twitter.com/wqVOmXbalg
— z (fka khalil) is a girl's initial (@thesocialhijabi) July 29, 2023
The repercussion: Most of the people that responded to the above tweet were shocked to see a husband violate his wife’s boundaries and show such little regard for her beliefs, all the while relishing in doing so. Others were more disturbed to see him encouraging the children to lie to and disrespect their mom. Gross.
Ngl that is messed up. Violation of boundaries & total disrespect towards her own personal dietary preferences.

Stuff like that breeds distrust & resentment.
Wonder why there’s such an overlap between meat consumption fetishization and misogyny! Weird! https://t.co/uVxP6n4sBD

It’s such a weird thing to do as well, you’ve proven nothing. She gave up meat or meat byproducts for some reason that doesn’t mean that those things can’t taste good she just has her reasons 🤷🏻♀️
