This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm legit surprised stuff like this doesn't have a bunch of people crying about the impropriety of the meme.

I shitpost all the time in the main communities, and stupid shit like this gets removed/complained about because people follow this rule:

This is the greentext community, so more of the people here understand what they're getting into.

I still hate the straight up racist and misogynist posts, but this one is more self-deprecating.

I get all of these from r9k and it's really kind of anything goes there unless someone is actively using the site to commit a crime somehow

Occasional grumbles happen and I have to tap the sidebar.

The horror.

I'm all for political correctness and not making people feel terrible about themselves. However, there are a lot of people who take things way, way, too seriously on the internet. I posted a meme about Hulk Hogan and got asked why I was posting a meme with a racist in it. Just take the meme at face value, people.

People have forgotten how to have fun.
