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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Using racial slurs isn't only damaging and insulting to the person being directly talked to or about. I suggest adopting a blanket position against racial slurs in any context.
But what about <incredibly contrived specific example involving song lyrics, guns to heads etc.>, can I say it then?
there is a huge gap between "making fun of" and "racist bullshit".
Lol, i said "i got mugged by n-words", its racism. when the 4chan dude says "pajeets scam me", its racism.
Mo matter how angry you are, if you use racial slurs, you're kinda racist.
I didnt say using racial slurs is correct. I said the act of scamming someone is so far removed from the identity of what it means to be human.
I never defended the terminology used in the post. Nor would I use that. Its shallow, and means far less than telling them they aren't someone capable of receiving any care.
Scamming is core to what it is to be human, other animals don't scam, and when they do, insofar as they do, we say they are like us
