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.

The irony of this image being censored .

[–] crimeschneck@sopuli.xyz 77 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You have to verify your age to see the uncensored image.

It's an older meme, sir. But it checks out. We were going to let it pass.

Brit here. I can see the uncensored image through a VPN. For which I have a licence, obviously.

No swearing license

Especially since cunt isn't even a swearword in English.

It is definitely an American who censored it.

It's an odd one because it wasn't even a word in common usage until about 50 years ago, so I don't understand where the Americans got their attitude from since it appears to have been entirely self-generated.

From Wikipedia

It goes back to at least the year 1230, and was excluded from the OED from the 18th century until 1960. So it wasn't just Americans.

It's practically punctuation here in Scotland.

My wife just told me otherwise.

You must be thinking of Australian

[–] maxwells_daemon@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

But think of the children

It was already like this when I found it.
