In a vicious, no-holds-barred onslaught of seriously successive tweets, Ruvimbo Gudyanga, who goes by the handle @BadBadRue_, opined in her thread that adulthood is a scam bruh and that growing up is certainly a diabolical phenomenon of a wretched existence. The Reporters confirmed the location of the tweets’ origins; “... from Avondale, Harare” as well as “Twitter for iPhone”.
“Adulting is a scam bruh.” She
tweeted at 22.27. At 22.32 she went on, “If this is what growing up really
looks like, then this life is diabolical.”
At 22.36 she continued, “Being an
adult, worse still a woman in this patriarchal shit-show is the pits. As if
we’re begging for simply existing. We can’t be independent and men think they’re
entitled to our bodies. I can’t deal.”
At around 22.50, The Reporters
could not firmly establish with rock-solid certainty that @BadBadRue_’s rants
were part of a nascent philosophical and intellectual feminist empowering
discourse. Or just a massive weight of sheer angst.
But what was interesting to note
was how even the equally popular and hated Red Pill accounts considered
toxic and vile (such as @ShadreckRobNight) concurred with
the assertion that adulthood is a scam bruh.
At 23.01 @ShadreckRobNight
(27) gave a non-controversial response, “Everything we were taught as kids is
all wrong. It may be worse for you. But for men, too, much worse. It’s a whole
scam.” To which Gudyanga replied at 23.05, “Indeed. We ought to do something.
Can’t be suicidal futi. Why they ignore mental health nhai 😰😭😩”.
At 00.05 it was clear @BadBadRue_
had gone to sleep, presumably, as she had indicated how Netflix was
tiring her that day. At press time, the first tweet in the thread, “Adulting is
a scam bruh”, had a total of around 137 retweets and 334 likes, with 90 replies
and 78 quoted retweets.
don't grow up its a trap!
