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'm pretty sure this is about trump voters.

The post is making fun of people who make nonsensical complaints about things, usually anons. Buying a can of beans and complaining there are no tomatoes.

it's 4chan so it's probably a transphobic allegory

People in these comments really can‘t comprehend a metaphor, huh?

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean, I understand that this is a metaphor for some instance of "someone thinks x should have y, and is dumb," but I have no idea what specific instance it's trying to poke fun at.

Apply liberally. Bought a video game and expected a feature not common in the genre or the developer's history? Watched a movie but had no idea what the director's style is? Bought a smartphone and wanted features that brand has never had (or maybe the industry has moved away from)? Bought motion cameras but didn't realize you couldn't just watch the clips they record unless you buy their stupid cloud service...

That last one is me 😮‍💨

Bought a bed and asked "where's the mattress?"

This is a person that in decades past would have appropriately been institutionalized for their own safety. Instead they'll probably end up as a supervisor for some fucking DOGE team where their mental capacity fits like a glove.

This reads like a real world Karen complaint.

My poor brain con not comprehend this many levels of irony. Now I know how boomers feel when they hear internet slang.
