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.

I can’t think of anything more 2024 than openly talking about having sexual intercourse with household objects but censoring the word “retard”.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

funnily enough my (or your) instance filters out the word too

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I switched over from your instance because of the censorship. It's infantilizing to cross out or add asterisks to such words.

Nah that's your instance. It shows up fine when I view it on mine, but when I go on your it does indeed say removed.

.world censored the full fag word

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean gay? Or homosexual?

And why would they censor that and not “fag”, when the former are also used as neutral descriptions while the latter is almost exclusively used in a derogatory way?

And also, do I even have to point out how ridiculous it is to promote freedom of information while simultaneously selectively censoring certain words? That’s literally Russia levels of hypocrisy right there.

No I mean f a g g o t is censored. Which is doubly ironic since fag isn't

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Perhaps because it would upset British folks talking about their cigarettes?

That has to be at least a quarter of the entire Warhammer 40k community.

fuck up your life

You see, the thing about that is you always hear about the guy who jerks off to r/dragonsfuckingcars and then does a mass shooting, but you never hear about the guy who goes to work in the morning, does an adequate job, comes home, jerks off to r/dragonsfuckingcars and then goes peacefully to sleep

A metaphor for Alex Jones and his acolytes

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

and so many others online. there are so many very tight and close echo chambers, where people outright invent a new reality for themselves, and get angry, antagonistic towards actual reality

See: AntiVaxxers, NeoNazi's, and Flat Earthers.

at least before social media these nutbars stayed isolated and alone and couldn't get together and recruit / spread their messages easily.

Oh no, was After Dark a gateway drug?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Is he talking literally about toasters or using it as a slang for robots/androids?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's an allegory for any "extremely niche" interest that would have been considered super weird before these people could easily find eachother, although OP probably had furries and people like that in mind.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's 4chan. The dude literally wants to fuck toasters.

I’ll take this one: It’s toasters

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I remember an early wtf Internet moment for me on fark.com someone linked a car-fucking forum complete with diy "muffler cosies", etc. Probably at least half joking, right??

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I hate the censorship

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

OP did you censor this or did anon post it like this

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It was like this when I found it
