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.

You can actually say "ass" here, btw.

Fuckin' mainstream social media-ass comment.

[–] Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No they're on .world so bad words like "ass" deal psychic damage to them.

I'm on .world.

Ass.
Fuck.
Shit.

Please mom, not the soap!

I read it as “better help uhh therapist” because of the stupid ass self censorship. I’m not blaming the user for doing it, just annoyed for natural real world language getting hamstrung to satisfy advertisers. How long until “tisk tisk tisk! You can’t say ‘ahh’, that’s a naughty word!”?

That's really, genuinely never made sense to me. If I'm going to say "freaking cold" it has the exact same meaning as "fucking cold". So what's the difference? Yet one is acceptable and one is, *clutches pearls*, a bad word. :O

"ahh" has a better ring to it than "ass"

[–] dufkm@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Personally I prefer "arse" with an uppity RP (Received Pronunciation) accent.

I'm not going to downvote you for this, because you're allowed to think that, but I want you to know that I want to because you're wrong. Lol

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee -3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah but saying ahh is funny

Ass is just crass (also, this has the same energy as redditors who complain about emojis)

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I mean, if the specific word you want to use seems to be an inappropriate tone, maybe find a different way to say what you're trying to say instead of injecting a filter-bypass replacement for the same word you didn't feel was an appropriate tone?

Betterhelp-coded therapist

Sounds like Betterhelp's caliber of therapists

Lemme guess, this "therapist" was via Betterhelp

For a couple of examples

Edit: I see you didn't post the original comment. Oops!

Ahh means ass? Drag is out of touch.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's an AAVE based, censorship-born, slang term.
