Main character or side character? The internet lost it

Someone asked: when you read, do you imagine yourself as the main character, or a side character watching everything unfold? That one question pulled ~15M views on X. Then the replies went nuclear — “I’m a movie camera” (~113k likes), a Cameron Tucker “side character energy” TikTok screenshot (~264k likes), and parodies like “shampoo or scalp?” (~47k). September 2026 discourse meme: half the timeline is roleplaying as the protagonist, the other half is just vibing in the background with a polite smile.
