Twitter may well be a grim wasteland full of Nazis, toxic bullying, bad faith political takes, and corporations putting on the nauseatingly cuddly ‘relatable’ act via the poorly treated social media interns that have to run their social media accounts—but it can also a window into ways of thinking and parts of the world you may otherwise have never encountered.
For example—and not to dunk on the user behind this tweet—the idea that this is what the ideal ‘man’s room’ is supposed to look like:

I was pretty confused when I saw this tweet. Being a man, and having a room that looks exactly nothing like this, I thought maybe I was failing my gender. I didn’t know a gender had an ideal room type in the first place. Luckily, Twitter came to the rescue, as a number of other users popped up to reassure me and my fragile masculinity (and sense of interior decoration) that not only was this not an ideal ‘man’s room’, it was not much of a room for anyone:
This room has some of the worst vibes I’ve ever witnessed https://t.co/RHmTOHcSWP

That's a good shout too, personally I was getting cut-price Patrick Bateman vibes from the thing.

Why is the bedside table so high?? If I’m reaching for a glass of water in the middle of the night, I don’t want to accidentally brush god’s cheek with my fingertips before I find it

This IS the room. I designed when I was 13. But I had a zebra striped rug on the floor.

Perhaps fashion and interior design and all politics has gone full circle…
