We know Twitter as the playground of mayhem and buffoonery, but today many users watched a chain of brave, passionate tweets flit across their timelines as one user professed his love for another, tagged user handles and all.
Each post declaring his feelings got retweeted more than 150 times in a matter of hours, with spectators waiting for the recepient, a self-identified “Bloodthirsty Feminist”, to respond.
Something I gotta get off my chest.

I could have called, I would have babbled. I deleted WhatsApp. The only sense worthy sentence would be I love you @mbongomuffin

It's ridiculous how I feel about you. Doesn't make sense but it's real @mbongomuffin I've only met you once but you got this effect on me.

I love your selfies. I even giggle at your not so funny gif's @mbongomuffin it's really crazy how your aura uplifts my spirit.
— The Joker | Bukowski | Horikazu Shodai | Beast (@SDxT_) May 27, 2015
I don't expect you to love me back or even feel the slightest towards me (would be dope if you do) @mbongomuffin just it's been eating me
— The Joker | Bukowski | Horikazu Shodai | Beast (@SDxT_) May 27, 2015
Look… @mbongomuffin I love you. I feel you at least had to know. That's it.
