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.

Anyone else expected this to.. go somewhere? Like have an outcome?

[–] [email protected] 171 points 10 months ago (1 children)

lack of a conclusion makes it more likely to be true. Fiction usually has a conclusion, life usually doesn't

[–] [email protected] 58 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Life always has a conclusion 💀

Eh, I have a 100% immortality rate at present.

Based on all available evidence from the course of my life so far, the data clearly shows a 0% death rate. Current trends expected to hold while data collection available.

Fuck that. I don't care where they're from. Scammers don't deserve to be treated with respect or dignity. They are subhuman trash and ruin people's lives.

[–] [email protected] 96 points 10 months ago (2 children)

"Pajeet" is racist as fuck. We can hate scammers without being racist.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't see how it's any different from calling Russians "Ivan" of Germans "Fritz". It's not a nice thing to do but I'd place it pretty far down on the racism scale tbh.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago (5 children)

Ivan or Fritz are real names/surnames from those countries which have completely different meaning now compared to how they were used in wars. Pajeet is a made up name only used so far to hate on Indians/ South Asians.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago (2 children)

TIL it's not even a real name

While yes it is absolutely racist, scammers are not capable of having an identity associated with someone who is on par with humanity. They're far below animals.

I prefer the term "demihuman" or any other dehumanizing language so they know who they are.

Minus the human trafficked ones of course. Only the vast majority who do it willingly.

Edit: let me clarify. I did not say using racist terminology is correct nor justified. I'm saying that people who scam others are so far removed from the identity of humanity and compassion that they do not deserve the light of day, much less the air they breathe.

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

But what about <incredibly contrived specific example involving song lyrics, guns to heads etc.>, can I say it then?

The problem with using dehumanising language like this is that it means that someone’s humanity, in your eyes, is contingent on your approval.

It says more about you as a person than it does about the people you criticise.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Yeah are we just ignoring the racial slurs? Bigots gonna be bigot-ing. Usually they’ll do so on 4chan.

At least a couple of Kitboga’s calls have originated in India, but all the characters he plays are as upstanding as they come. Except for this one time at Dave & Buster's. Kit:

  • never wishes for the plague
  • always respects all varieties of English
  • always respects that not everyone calling everyone else is US-based
  • never uses slurs, and Kit’s
  • never gonna give you up
[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Kitboga’s “more Kitboga” channel has gotten me through so many work days. He’s one of the most insanely funny and talented dudes I’ve never seen.

Reading this thread I realized that I had no idea what that word meant, figured it was a particular kind of scam.

OP is exactly as much a bad person as the scammers.

[–] [email protected] 82 points 10 months ago (1 children)

exactly as much.

right.

I wish black death upon your mother.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not if she’s got the Black Death.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

Too bad, you gotta fuck her. It's in the contract.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Because the insult is too insulting, or because saying it while representing a company is inappropriate?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (6 children)

Because he then proceeded to log onto 4chan and tell a story with racist slurs. I don't care that he wished the black death on their mothers, good for him, I care that he's racist while writing this post.

Why is "pajeet" a racist slur?

I am not sealioning here, i genuinely do not know.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pajeet

racism

It's not a real Indian name, it's a made up name from a meme about Indians shitting in the street.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

As far as racial slurs go this one is weak as shit.

I had to go look and I'm still not sure I understand, but it seems like it's derogatory because whoever wrote the greentext is basically calling Indians "street shitters".

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 months ago

log onto 4chan and tell a story with racist slurs

Are you planning on asking the tides to stop next?
