If you've been on Twitter at all over the past 24 hours, chances are you've heard about the sorry saga of John 'Bean Dad' Roderick and his epic Twitter downfall. If not, we'll catch you up to speed. On Jan 2, @johnroderick posted a marathon of a Twitter thread, boasting at length about refusing to show his hungry nine-year-old daughter how to use a can opener to open a can of beans. In the thread he recounts encouraging her to struggle with the device over a span of six hours in hopes to help her build character, or something. An outcry across Twitter immediately ensued and it didn't take long for people to dig up many racist, sexist, homophobic, and antisemitic tweets from @johnroderick's past. This kerfuffle went so viral, it might even affect the future of Jeopardy! (Don't ask.)
'Bean Dad' is, without a doubt, the unfortunate first main character of 2021. Hopefully this isn't foreshadowing a very cursed year. We've collected some of the funniest Twitter reactions to the whole 'Bean Dad' saga. (Content warning: some of the screenshots of @johnroderick's older tweets contain offensive language.)

You must open a tin of beans with no help from your dad. You have 6 hours. pic.twitter.com/CnoJBynqxy

The real issue with the Bean Dad was that he simply had no class. pic.twitter.com/waQuym8lU0

Thanks for sending. I am not reading all of that (Bean Dad). However, it looks like nonsense.

12. Some had more serious parenting criticisms
I feel like it’s super valuable to teach kids that they’re not alone in the world and that there’s no shame in asking other people for help and support so imo everyone should read the Bean Dad story and always do the exact opposite https://t.co/kdSXM0o1dF

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 me “figure out things” that I just didn’t know, like it was a “teaching lesson”. I stopped asking him for help and never asked anyone.

14. As expected, Twitter inevitably dug into Bean Dad's past (it was ugly)

Interesting how Bean Dad just deleted his account instead of appreciating the teachable moment

guy posts annoying thread of something that probably never happened, people make least charitable reading of it, people find bad tweets from 2011, guy erased from various podcasts etc. that cycle used to take like a week, twitter now knocks it out in 18 hours flat

22. But wait...there's more!
Extremely jealous and annoyed that my podcast co-host is going to be a dictionary entry and I never will.

If we're word-searching through old tweets now, it's pretty easy to find what he actually thinks about anti-Semitism. On our show he's always the pro-Israel one!

It’s like you actually sat down and planned out how to write the worst response to this possible

Does Ken Jennings support of bean dad mean we can stop fucking around and make LeVar Burton the host of Jeopardy? pic.twitter.com/YRzwNSP5zo

27. Pretty epic if you ask us
The text we as a society have written about Bean Dad in only 24 hours, assuming a median average tweet length of 144 characters, is longer than the complete works of Shakespeare pic.twitter.com/wFwy9icCmt
