Original Note:
Not misleading, especially in context: Palahniuk meant the 'you are not special' sentiment sincerely. The attitude the tweet's author describes comes from a misreading of the novel as a whole, and so is the insult's adoption as one to be used at anyone perceived as 'weak.' https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20190717-is-fight-clubs-tyler-durden-films-most-misunderstood-man https://www.vulture.com/2017/01/palahniuk-snowflake-diss-came-from-fight-club.html
