Only in 2018.

It all started on Saturday when a very nice young woman did a very nice thing. She found a little girl crying outside her house and offered to help by fixing the sad situation she was in: Not having enough money to get ice cream from an ice cream truck.

Like any reasonable person with a little cash on hand, the nice young woman gave the little girl some money so she could enjoy some ice cream with her friends.

The nice young woman, named Zara (Itsallzara on Twitter and her website), describes herself as a "22 year old Vegan blogger." That's an important detail, as you'll soon learn. She recounted her story in a tweet only to fall victim to the horrible, horrible reality that is social media: shitty men that feel the need to explain why that nice and reasonable thing you did is insanely wrong.

That man, not content to chastise the nice woman in her DMs, doubled down on his shitty-ness, and posted his rude and unhinged comments to his own Twitter page. Take a look at what he sent her:

The man, whose name is Anthony Dagher, scolded Zara for buying the girl ice cream because he assumed said ice cream wasn't vegan. Dagher, who describes himself as vegan in his Twitter bio, thought that Zara was betraying her vegan status by giving a girl money to buy a tasty frozen treat that contains dairy.

He's so sure that he's correct in this situation that he screencapped his damning messages and tried to shame Zara by posting a screenshot of her Instagram account so "my Vegan followers" could let her know (Dagher obviously earned himself a block early on in this process). Not exactly the best way to prove that you're right.

Dagher's subsequent tweets have been equally unhinged and he refuses to believe that anyone is right except for him.

The internet is the best, isn't it?
