Replies to and quote tweets of the photo of Sheeran are flooded with calls for X to return the handle to Vaught, and some well-deserved digs at the Sheeran photo. Namely, that it is so eye-rollingly lame to steal a handle and then announce yourself to the internet with a nearly 9-year-old reference ("X" was released in 2014).
