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.

There was a conversation awhile back about how any term used to describe someone with a disability eventually becomes a slur and history tends to back that up, but I'd say 'special needs' is probably about the least offensive qualifier we have today.

For 4chan, that's like a miracle.

It is called the euphemism treadmill.
