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.

And then everybody clapped

We need a bot that comments this for every single greentext

[–] borth@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That sounds fun. How hard could it be?

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Every script kiddie after a single class in uni knows how to make one. That's why reddit had so many annoying bots that did fuckall but tried to be funny.

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Like that stupid reminder bot.

Jokes one everyone; it doesn’t work anymore. What happy day that was.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Reminder bot at least had a purpose and had to be manually triggered by someone to act. I'm talking about the annoying ones, like the spelling bot, it just scraped as much as it could, looked for common spelling errors and corrected people. Good thing bots were getting banned left and right. People aren't original. When on /freefolk the Bobby bot got successful via a meme, there were like 10 other copycats the next week, made by people who didn't know that nobody called the character "bobby" unless they wanted to invoke it. So then, a bot would pop up for writing Tyrion, Cersei, Tywin, etc, which were used always, since it was a fandom subreddit.

I'm talking about the annoying ones…

Yes, the stupid reminder bot where all you had was RemindMe! In the comments multiple times adding nothing to the conversation.

It’s as annoying as “bump” in forums back in the day.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I don't see why it would be fake, there's nothing unbelievable about it. I mean it is a greentext but there's no reason to, y'know

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Anon has a wife

Red flag right there

[–] Rinox@feddit.it 3 points 6 months ago

Also a gf. And a friend. Triple flag

[–] frezik@midwest.social 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

There's also a point where you don't have to care. It's a good story and you can enjoy it on that basis.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Even if it didn't really happen to whoever wrote it, you know it's really happened to someone at some point.

I've always loved that the dickhead king is the same actor as the goofy boss from Super Troopers.

[–] sparkle@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

for once it actually is gay when you say that

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 months ago (3 children)

This is why, as a straight dude, I wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. They're people, just like everyone else, and I'm sure there's some that are just terrible people, but on the whole, they're just folks trying to find their happiness just like everyone else.

I consider myself an ally, and I'll use any power I have to promote equality for everyone; whether that entails voting against people who would take their rights away, or try to silence them or whatever, speaking out against tyranny or judgemental asshats... It doesn't matter.

IMO, we are people first. Your choice in name, pronouns, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc, are all secondary to the fact that you are a human person deserving of all the same rights and privileges afforded to everyone else.

My favorite (tongue in cheek) comment, specifically about (gay) marriage is that LGBTQ+ people should have the right to be just as unhappy as the rest of us, in marriage.

My favorite (tongue in cheek) comment, specifically about (gay) marriage is that LGBTQ+ people should have the right to be just as unhappy as the rest of us, in marriage.

While not so bad now that they're legally allowed to marry, this joke was kinda cringey before then. "Sure you don't have the right to marry who you love like most people do, but 'wife bad', amiright??"

[–] Lobreeze@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I think the joke is 'spouse bad'

Youre the one who put a gender on it

Right cause only men complain about their spouses as a punchline.

[–] Hahah_Montana@lemmy.wtf 0 points 6 months ago

"This is why" you say of a fake greentext.

[–] Ummdustry@sh.itjust.works -1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community.

what about the lone gay? the pan-sexiled? the lesbianned from all nearby coffee-shops? Why do you only support the gays with social capital sufficient to be part of the communitiy?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah thanks for that incoherent comment. You really contributed to the discussion there, well done.

[–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Do they think the LGBTQ+ community is the kind of community you gotta pay like a yearly fee to be in? Lol

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 6 months ago

Wait... Y'all aren't paying the Gay Dues?

[–] B0rax@feddit.de 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What are you on about? From my understanding all the people you mentioned ARE considered part of that description

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nail on the head my friend. That's exactly why I used that identifier. Not sure what the other person is trying to say here.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I THINK THEY'RE HAVING A LITTLE JOKE WITH YOU

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

I DON'T THINK ANYONE IS FINDING IT VERY FUNNY.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 months ago

I do not care how true or untrue this may be.

Upvote for wholesome.

[–] KomfortablesKissen@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You could say it's over Für Elise

[–] tinyVoltron@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

But he already did, whatcha gonna do now?

[–] tinyVoltron@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago

I will stridently, and with great determination, do nothing at all.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Lesbian friends are eternal

Isn't that the new My Little Pony movie?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago

They are still after me, generations have passed and those lesbian friends of my great great great great father do not how to quit

I tried stabbing, burning, decapitation, even slicing them up in little pieces using a blender. They always return

I do not know how much longer I can take it, this bloodline needs to end with me, it is the only way for the curse to end. The curse of the eternal lesbians

.* becomes gay .*

[–] Hahah_Montana@lemmy.wtf 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Fake but people will upvote anything that creates propaganda for their preferred narrative 🙄. No critical thinking.

[–] orphiebaby@lemmy.cafe 1 points 6 months ago

And what the kind of "propaganda" is this creating, exactly? Do you even know what that word means?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 6 months ago

"Let's call her Elise" clear redditor giveaway.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I had a girlfriend in my 20s that used to hook up with other girls. For some reason I never considered that cheating and never cared. No idea why it never bothered me.

[–] smokeymcpott@feddit.de 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Maybe polyamory is something for you

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I’m in my early 40s with four kids now and that seems like way too much work lol. To be clear though, I definitely would have considered it cheating if she was with another dude. It was just with other women it wasn’t an issue at all for me.

[–] yetiftw@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

in that case you may have some unrealized homophobia, causing you to not view queer interactions as fully valid compared to straight interactions

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

lol what? Not sure what you read but I said I had no problem with my girlfriend with other girls.

Furthermore I’ve hung out with tons of gay people. My brother was gay (died of fentanyl). Zero issues with whatever people want to do in their bedroom. None of my business anyway.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think they mean some guys don't consider 2 women having sex to be "real sex" so they don't think it's cheating.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Oh, im really not that deep. I don’t spend much time worrying about what others are doing for sex or intimacy.

Some other user said it’s probably because I can’t compare myself to a girl, unlike another man, which is probably true.

Appreciate you explaining what they probably meant by that comment as I was extremely confused

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Even in cases where it ends a relationship, there's something slightly less bad about a partner cheating on you with a gender different than your own. "What do they have that I don't have?? Oh, right, a vagina and boobs/a dick."

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah that probably has a lot to do with it now that you mention it.
