This thread identifying all the different ‘reply guys’ is very funny and oh so relatable

DISGUSTING REPLY GUY: Sometimes Reply Guys want to show the world they are edgy, out-there fellas not afraid to push the boundaries of comedy. So they will write something disgusting about shitting or cumming. I don’t know why they think this will work.

“NO SEXISM PLS” REPLY GUY: It’s important that women aren’t sexist and luckily Reply Guys are around! “Like women’s fashions back then were better” they’ll chastise with a photo of bad 2003 women’s fashions.

PERSONALLY ATTACKED REPLY GUY: If you’re a Reply Guy with 26 followers it makes sense you’d see my tweet and know that I am PERSONALLY attacking you, personally. So the righteous and entirely reasonable thing to do is: tell me I made him personally feel bad about what he wore.

Personally Attacked Reply Guy is very very keen to tell me “ACTUALLY I WILL BE WEARING A MASK ACTUALLY”.
Great?

RIGHTEOUS REPLY GUY: He isn’t OFFENDED but he wants to stand up for what’s RIGHT unlike me, the writer of a humorous tweet. “Let people wear whatever they want!” he’ll battle-cry. Or he’ll find a reason why some people can’t wear masks and therefore I’m just being discriminatory.

ASKS YOU ON A DATE REPLY GUY: Fucking DMs you and asks you on a date. Genuinely. This happens. A LOT.

Thank you for enjoying my thread about Reply Guys. If you recognised any of the Reply Guy behaviour as your own don’t worry, just accept you are a Reply Guy, squirt! If someone calls out your Reply Guy behaviour you are probably their 1734632th Reply Guy that week.

Oh yeah, just to add:
MOTIVATIONAL LIFE COACH REPLY GUY: My style of tweeting is sometimes “lol I’m a hot mess haha” and the idea is people laugh. But MLC Reply Guy sees that as an opportunity to remove all humour and patronise with “believe in yourself x”.

Fabulously done. And just a few of our favourite things people said about it.
My least favourite reply guy is the NEVER IMPRESSED REPLY GUY: "oh, you rode a dragon into battle and defeated the invading army? Big deal. I rode a horse once." https://t.co/r8kRAOAWE9

Waits for the reply guys to reply to The Taxonomy of Reply Guys because no reply guy thinks they’re a reply guy and thus securing the perpetuity of reply guys.

Don’t forget “didn’t happen” guy. Mostly in relation to something that happens ALL THE TIME
