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.

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

are you guys that bitch made that saying retarded on a 4chan sub is crossed out
Yeah ngl as someone who grew up being called retarded for being autistic I really hate how this word has become a slur.
Like every time people create a word for a specific type of person it becomes a slur. At some point people need to just get the fuck over it.
I also just don't get the point of censoring. I don't have any particular feelings about the word retarded, but I'm also autistic. Do I get annoyed when people use autistic as an insult (i hope it never reaches actual slur status because I'll never accept it as such), esp for stuff that has nothing to do with ASD symptoms at all? Sure. Does it make it better if someone crosses it out in a screenshot, or censors it in a quote? Lolno.
