We found the worst Twitter user of 2021... already. (Bean Dad)

So, what are we about to do right now?,I'm going to look at how Bean Dad wound up being Twitter's worst story of the year, even,though the year just started.,And how he got exposed so hard he wound up deleting his entire Twitter to try to cover,everything up.,I find like most stories about, "I don't like this person, so I'm going to find their old,Tweets," are pretty dumb because they all go the same way.,But I'm inclined to say Bean Dad might be Twitter's worst person of 2021 so far.,Before I do that, shout out Mandy Mateer for this comment, "Alternate title: Watch D'Angelo,Wallace lose the will to live in real time," because it just so eloquently summed up, not,just that specific video, but also this is who I am at this point.,Enough of the fun stuff.,So who is Bean Dad?,We're actually talking about John Roderick.,All you need to know, he was the lead singer in a band, and he also runs a podcast with,this other dude named Ken Jennings who's going to make a surprise appearance.,Another thing about him is that he's a verified Twitter user, but surprise of all surprises,,his Twitter account is now gone permanently.,The dude nuked it.,It all started a long time ago.,Just kidding.,So yesterday my daughter, who is nine years old, was hungry and I was doing a jigsaw puzzle.,So I said over my shoulder, "Make some baked beans.",She said, "How?",like all kids do when they want you to do it.,So I said, "Open the can and put it in a pot.",She brought me the can and said, "Open it how?",I'm not quite sure that kid's saying, "How do you do this?" is an indicator that they,want you to do it for them.,So anyways, she was like, "How do I open the can, Dad?",And he says, "With a can opener, I said, incredulous.,She brought me the can opener and we both started it.,I realized I'd never taught her to use it.,What kind of apocalypse father doesn't teach his kid how to use a manual can opener?,So I said, how do you think this works?,She struggled for a while, and with a big dramatic sigh, she said, "Will you please,just open the can?",A teaching moment just dropped in my lap.",Instead of showing her how to use the can opener, he says, "I went back to my jigsaw,puzzle.,She was next to me, grunting and groaning, trying to get the thing.,Eventually she collapsed in a frustrated heap.,I said, "Explain the parts.",Basically, she's like, "I don't know how to use this, which is literally why I asked.",And he said, "The tool is made to be pleasing, but it doesn't have any superfluous qualities,,everything that moves does so for a reason.",Do you think you're impressing a nine year old because you know the definition of the,word superfluous?,So here's where we're back into me not getting it.,Because if you just acknowledge that your nine-year-old has successfully pointed out,to you that she has made an attempt to understand how this works, then why the heck are you,not just telling her the last part?,All this bean talk is making me feel a certain way.,I know this is parenting theater in some ways and like all parents throughout history, I'm,trying to correct my own mistakes in the way I educate my child.,She sees through this.,Fun fact, she's nine.,She doesn't.,All she knows is that she was hungry and you made her wait for six hours.,After posting this thread, it blew up.,I have collected some of my favorite tweets about it.,This genepark1, he quotes the can opener monologue and turns it into an Evangelion meme, which,,while funny, really does make me feel bad for the girl.,This person tweeted out, "The Bean Dad thread brought up a lot of emotions and realizations,lol.",And here you can see it says, "Trust issues, anger management issues, ...,Wait.,It's all Daddy issues?,Always has been.",This story hits all of these on the head.,Especially things like feeling shame when asking for help/never asking for help.,This person said, "You know, I was reading this thinking about my own father who was,very much like this.,As a child, he would always force me to figure out things that I didn't know and it was a,teaching lesson.,I stopped asking him for help and never asked anyone.",I don't know, Bean Dad.,I could take his word for it.,That he thought he was being 100% helpful.,But this is how people internalize it.,It's like impact versus intent.,Some people thought it was a teaching moment.,"I am thinking the daughter might think of this moment when she's choosing a nursing,home for him.",Why did Mary snap though?,She snapped.,What do you think he did right after that?,Did he say, "Oh wow.,I understand where you're coming from.,I may have worded this poorly.",No, of course he didn't.,"Somehow my story about teaching my daughter how to work out how to use a can opener and,overcome her frustration got over onto a version of Twitter where I'm being accused of child,abuse.,It's astonishing.,My kid is fine, everybody.",Then he says, "Maybe not surprisingly, none of the people who hate my can opener story,follow me on Twitter.",Of course we don't fol
