I thought "main character" was a literary term? As in the "main character" of a book or story. Does it mean something different on twitter?
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoOn Twitter, I think it means "someone who thinks they're the main character of the story"; that is, someone self-important or narcissistic. But I'm not a Twitter person (a Twit?), so I'm going by what I hear from others.

- kalensh 4y agoOn Twitter I'd say the "main character" designation is less about how a person acts, and more about how everyone else is talking about them. They are the main character of the moment because suddenly half of your timeline is other Twitter users either directly or indirectly referring to them. Usually because they are wrong in a way that drives a ton of engagement.
