To call these posts a ‘Manifesto’ is perhaps a misnomer. However, the authors left us with no adequate title.
The manifesto is a compilation, like the Bible. It is similarly flawed, only this text provides a moral sensibility tuned to online aesthetics neither wholly secular nor spiritual. Now it’s being offered to you.

Little is known about their identity beyond what they’ve told us. Snake-boy presents as an ~18 y/o American male of probable Midwest background. During the day, they’re an unremarkable high school student. At night, they sustain a relationship with IU.
Over the course of 24 hours, Snake-boy left posts on many prominent and/or infamous forums, including Reddit, 4chan, fanfiction sites, and others not named for your protection. Many of these posts have since been removed by moderators, but not before they could be archived here.

Multi-hyphenate K-Pop super-star Lee ‘IU’ Ji-eun is a chart-topping singer-songwriter and actress. According to various polls, she is the most beloved kpop artist of the century. She stars in multiple award-winning films and TV shows, including the highest rated K-drama on Letterboxd and IMDb, When Life Gives You Tangerines. She is also the muse (and possible friend) of our Snake-boy.

I am merely a good Samaritan. I believe in transparency when it is ethical. I work for free and open access to art and its synonyms. I will never take donations and caution you against imposters.
If you’re feeling grateful and want to spend your hard-earned money, consider IU’s Charity List, humanitarian aid to Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, or wherever else society looks away from.
