Since the advent of social media, there have been main characters - people who everyone seems to be talking about. Ordinary people who suddenly find themselves under a spotlight. People whose lives don't matter beyond the jokes that can be made about them. People who are tossed aside once there is nothing else that can be wrung out of the personal details of their lives.
What's wild for me is, like, I'm not used to being internet famous. I've never gone viral before. I'm just like, you know, holy cr*p, like I just did what I thought was morally right, I did not expect it to blow up or anything like that.
