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.

A warning to us all about how habit forming electronic devices can be.

Anon could have read a book or practiced a skill like drawing, crochet or similar.

If you find yourself with some free time and all you can think to do is pull out your phone, laptop or PC; Have a think about that.

As do I! But if all you can think to do with your free time is be at your computer, that might be worth some thought.

You may be fine with it, and that’s fine. I was fine with it for a long time. But then I started to think about all the other stuff I wanted to learn, and it made me sad.

Sometimes I feel we should delete the slurs from posts out of principle.

They add nothing but alienate potential people and gives the community a bad image when really its just copying posts

Honestly, it's 4chan. People that don't want to see slurs and stupid takes shouldn't follow anything related to that hellhole.

You can take out the slurs, but you can't take out the vitriol without transforming it into something completely different.

Why do you want to censor art? It's a product of its place and time. jk, but who the fuck reads a greentext from 4chan and is like, "Oh no, the word retarded better be offended in someone else's place."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Usually the people who get offended by other people using the word retarded
