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.

Assuming OOP said 'retarded', that doesn't fit their message well does it?
it's called context switching, within 4chan the r-word is an honorific rather than a slur.
There is nothing wrong with the world retard, don't let corpos implement their double speak.
Americans and their hatred of random words. Lmao.
I’ve grappled with “retard” & “bitch” (made a thread about it a couple months ago too, trying to form/reform my opinion).
Clearly we have to be careful with any messages industry pushes. With that said -
What do you think about these statements from Special Olympians?
I appreciate your good faith response. I see and empathize with your perspective. To play devil’s advocate, you can’t control whether a group of people decide, out of the blue, to internalize hurtful language that isn’t aimed at them. The N-word had a very specific target and a very specific history. The word “retard” does not. It basically has the same vernacular trajectory as “moron,” or “idiot.” Why aren’t those synonyms verboten? I don’t like people getting offended at things that have nothing to do with them.

That is true, if you use it against disabled poeple. I only use it against moronic able poeple who should know better.

This post reminded me of that old Louis CK bit on not liking the term "N Word" because it transfer the burden of saying the actual word from the speaker to the listener's brain
Louis CK's bit on the word "retarded" is pretty damn good too.
Joke's on him my brain is always saying it 😎

It's so social media AI doesn't block the image. Yeah, that's our world now.
Wasn't that just Reddit?
I love the fact that the slave owner is not only the one unarmed person you don't lose honor for killing, but you actually gain honor for killing him.
You also don’t lose honor for killing this guy, and can do it right in front of the police without them reacting
I'm going to remember that for my next playthrough. I always just punched him and made him run away.
I can shoot that dude without getting a bounty? :O
I would never have guessed. I can't even walk down the street in Saint Denis without getting bullshit "disturbing the peace" bounties. I like to pretend it's because they're jealous of Arthur's awesome mustache.
That guy was, I think, intended as a stand-in for real-life eugenicist and all-round villain Henry Laughlin. Killing him in-game was quite the treat.
Hmm, I'll have to give that a try

Is it as bad as GTA Online?
It's worse. It is utterly abandoned by rockstar
I tried playing online when it first came out. It was fun for a few days, but wasn't very long before cheaters would just spawn a hundred cougars right on top of you every game.
I'm sure that was frustrating for you, but from an outsider's perspective that's funny as fuck.

Worse. I’m convinced that Rockstar only keeps the servers running because nobody knows which ones they are among the sea of GTA5 servers. The game has been entirely abandoned by the devs, because it never took off like GTA5 did.
Hacking in RDO isn’t just rampant; It’s downright expected. If you’re not hacking, you’ll constantly get blown up from across the map by people with unlimited explosive ammo, no reloads, and auto-aim. The bare minimum requirement is an unlimited health hack, just so you can survive the cross-map snipes long enough to finish a mission or two.
Worse.
It seems worse. Though now days whenever I play GTA Online, it's in private friends only mode.
I'm honestly surprised that no one calls this game woke
Because the game sold and reviewed well, so it goes against the narrative of “get woke go broke”

Wow, that was their takeaway from that game? I honestly didn't think about it once the whole playthrough, why are they so desperate to role play racism/sexism?
Oh we're they saying these things like how much they hate Wokeness or something?
I thought this was an endorsement!
I thought OOP was saying it's a good thing too

The first time I ran into the KKK in the woods, I was really glad I had a stick of dynamite on me.
There was that other thread talking about Ubisoft games and how theyre putting a black samurai in there. I wrote a comment about how ubisoft marketing is so controversial but then they deliver these milquetoast Ubisoft games.
Just imagine if Farcry 5 actually went the route of RDR2 and had some fucking balls. Instead of try to appeal to both sides.
That's what I don't get, out of millions and hundreds of thousands gamers, how many are actually that stupid and bigoted to rage on anything they don't like? These incel gamers always accuse many games as being woke, but then these games are blockbusters. Devs listen to a loud minority who don't represent the entire community of gamers. The rest are silent majority, who have varying interest of games, like a game for being a good game, not because it is "woke". And hate a bad game, because it is a bad game. It's simple as.
Devs fall into the faux outrage bait from tiny minority of unthinking hordes, and it actually makes them bad than if they just ignore ridiculous baseless cries.
As someone who has been reading about gaming for a long time, it’s the console wars but now that gaming has become mainstream, it became political.
There has always been drama in gaming, there used to be PlayStation and Xbox fanboys that clearly wanted to be part of a team and for their team to win, it’s what makes it social for some people.
Then gaming became huge, the industry shifted and now we have a lot more diversity in types of games. So now you have these teams but it’s about other things (I’m on the story mode and no microtransaction team myself).
One team really benefits right wing media, and that’s the ones complaining about games being woke (and whatever that means). It’s amplified and hence why even though we live in the golden age of gaming choice, we keep hearing this loud minority.

And somehow this game is never part of the examples that some bigots are listing when talking about woke games.
Similarly with Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur's Gate 3. Both of those games are gay as fuck.
