Never forget the time an anti-woke Twitter troll got brutally owned by ‘Lake Superior’
In 2022, as the fallout from the US Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade and taking abortion rights back 50 years unfolded, a funny tribute account to Lake Superior posted something a bit more serious than usual.
This lake vehemently stands with women having the right to choose.

The majority of responses were clearly in support of the sentiment.
Lake Superior takes on the Supreme Court. https://t.co/phVWxlwJa1

Thank you, Lake Superior. You really are Superior among the Great Lakes. I don't see Erie and Huron doing jack for us, and who even knows WTF Michigan and Ontario are up to? https://t.co/D2cstm3zHC

Of course, there were bound to be a few negative reactions, like these.
Good thing lakes can't vote. Do you stand with the Constitution? Point out where it says abortion is a right, please. The rest of the rights granted are explicit.

One tweeter, named Ryan, whose Twitter account posted only snarky replies and criticism of ‘Liberals’, had this to say.
Lake Superior wasn’t about to sit back – float back – and let someone tell them to know their place, and the response was a surprisingly effective burn for a body of water.
To begin, water is one of the most politicized resources in the world. I, sir, am water.

Secondly, if you need to unfollow an account because 1 in every 432 tweets from a satirical geographic Twitter account is political instead of fun, you need to work on your fragility.

Thirdly, a large portion of life is not about being fun. A lot of life is about standing up for the rights of others, especially in the face of historical imbalances that have historically favorited CIS white males while leaving others greatly disadvantaged.

Ryan wasn’t happy.
Others were.

It holds 10% of the world’s surface fresh water, but even that isn’t enough to soothe this burn. 🔥 https://t.co/R11GlXeXwa

As a proud Michigander, shout out to @LakeSuperior for standing up for birthing people’s right to choose & for handing this guy his own ass.
