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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Thank goodness I didn't see the word removed. That would send me to the hospital.
Say fuck as much as you want, but I don't see why people are mad about censoring a slur
We shouldn't censor words. Bad habit. The only way to get rid of slurs and 'bad words' is to remove their power. Acting like the word for a meat product is Voldemort isn't helping anyone. Especially as LGBT use it amongst ourselves anyway.
Glad to see lemmy would get their tipex out and censor all of the N words out of To Kill A Mockingbird. Good job guys, you ended bigotry.
a meat product ? I'm lost
Sorry, a f*ggot is a meatball made from offal. It's a traditional UK dish and you see it on menus semi frequently in British cuisine restaurants.
Also fag is a cigarette. Both are in use.
removed is American English and homophobes in the UK preferred the term poof so they could eat their removeds for dinner.
Because '"the f word" 😱 even gets censored on lemmy.
He typed f*ggot, but it was removed buy a word filter.
