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.

Is it as bad as GTA Online?

Now that I think about it, RDR2 is set in the past. I don't think people tend to question the past; the values set by the past is taken for granted today. Anyone who might complain about it makes them look outwardly supportive of regression.

I need to fire this game up again when I get home

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.

Edit: grammar

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?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Oh we're they saying these things like how much they hate Wokeness or something?

I thought this was an endorsement!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Coming from 4chan, I read it as loser whinging about "woke".

I thought OOP was saying it's a good thing too

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.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 months ago (5 children)

You also don’t lose honor for killing this guy, and can do it right in front of the police without them reacting

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.

I'm going to remember that for my next playthrough. I always just punched him and made him run away.

A fuckin CENSORED greentext? Really? Never thought I'd see the day 4chan got whitewashed lol

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

It's so social media AI doesn't block the image. Yeah, that's our world now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Wasn't that just Reddit?

Assuming OOP said 'retarded', that doesn't fit their message well does it?

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Joke's on him my brain is always saying it 😎

it's called context switching, within 4chan the r-word is an honorific rather than a slur.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (36 children)

There is nothing wrong with the word "retard", don't let corporations push their double speak.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

Americans and their hatred of random words. Lmao.
