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.

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

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.

More Kitboga is the one true faith but I didn’t want to scare newcomers away.

I genuinely don't understand why you would subscribe to a community about 4chan greentexts and not expect to see shocking language. Its like going to the beach and being upset that theres sand.

[–] Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

It's why there's a big warning on the sidebar that says "Beware: sometimes Anon says bad words or things that are unhealthy. We're here to laugh at Anon, not agree or get angry."

The community seems split on this one lol. Makes me think that some of the people who subscribed to this community literally don't know what a greentext is. Which is nothing new; I made this months ago:

Personally, it takes the fun out of creating OC because I like making edgier memes but there's no community for it here. And even if something does make people laugh and get upvoted, the mods will take it down. (For example, I made a meme about a pregnant alcoholic mother and it got taken down. Like really? We can't make abortion jokes?) So fuck it, I mainly just repost now. If you can't beat em join em.

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.

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

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

there are slurs on 4chan

slurs on greentext? How could this happen??

[–] refalo@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

read the sidebar, nobody cares

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

Cool that the shitjustworks mods are just straight up posting racial slurs now

E: Lotta racism enjoyers in here lmao, seems to vibe real well with shitjustworks's Rule 2

[–] JeffreyOrange@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

A slur in my good christian greentexts? What has 4chan come to?

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.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] JakJak98@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] doctordevice@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you can't be made fun of, you're the bad guy.

[–] Belastend@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

there is a huge gap between "making fun of" and "racist bullshit".

[–] Belastend@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yay, someone committed le wrong, that means we get dehumanoze them yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[–] JakJak98@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm a bit lost. I didn't justify using racist terms. I'm saying that scammers lack the core traits of humanity, compassion and care in others.

And they don't deserve anything, let alone feeling comfortable in a conversation, or the air they breathe.

That is regardless of race, sex, gender. If you scam someone else, you don't deserve life.

[–] Belastend@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Dehumanization isnt just racism lol. Its any kind of denial of humanity to anyone. And i really dont care for it.

[–] Sazruk@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 years ago

I get scammed every day on a near daily basis. I get scammed when my landlord raises my rent without fair cause. I get scammed when I look at inflated sale prices at my local grocery store for already shrinkflated goods. I get scammed when I get fees and tips tacked on to my bill when I go to the movie theater or a restaurant. It’s fucking infuriating but I don’t wish death upon my waitress, the store owner, or even my landlord. It’s all just unregulated capitalism in action. Scams, big or small, make money, and money moves us forward.

Just because some degenerate across the world with a funny accent who I will likely never interact with plays by the same rules doesn’t mean he should be thrown into a wood chipper. IMO.
