About

I Am A Girlboss I Am A War Criminal refers to a copypasta parodying self-affirming mantras by mixing comedically boastful affirmations with extremely negative ones. The full quote reads, "i am a girlboss i am a war criminal i am a lunatic . i am clinically insane & the next virgin mary & i am never going to die."
