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.

Definitely, however the slurs might help anons cope and not hate each other. It‘s this phenomenon of alt-right thinktanks needing a common enemy, but in this case there is mutual self-depreciation and it works because everyone is anonymous and shares intimate thoughts. Wouldn‘t work in other forms of social media though, there it is PC speech or utter hatred.

It’s 4chan.

That board is full of extremely toxic “do I pass threads” which are all about tearing each other down as a self hate ritual.

Also, only binary MTF’s are welcome. Very hostile to FTM and non-binary people.

That's the case in some spaces, but no they're just really toxic to each other. It's deeper than the slurs, they actively foster body image issues among each other and other mutually destructive behaviors in a way that's been compared to how incels do. It's a hub of masochistic epistemology
