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.

Wtf why would anyone (I know, I know, fake story, but hear me out) gift their USED in-ear headphones. I wouldn't touch that thing with a ten-foot pole, regardless if it was "cleaned".

Shouldn't have changed the ages, it chanhges the whole thing too much to compare

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

It's funny because when I was in my 20s the girlfriends I had always were way richer than I was...

AmITheAsshole is 99% rage bait and fan fiction. "Am I the Asshole for letting my wife only sleep with 8 different guys, while cucking myself and paying everything for her? I'm totally unsure if I'm, in this Ludacris Situation in which I'm clearly being abused, being unreasonable.... PLS BE NICE, GIVE ME ATTENTION! PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I consider myself a misanthrope, but, Reddit showed me my opinion of humanity was STILL too high

[–] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 90 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I actually believe this one

It's real, but anon imagined himself as an 18 y/o girl with a boyfriend. Still gay.

I guess it would be nice to have people think equally of men and women, but I don’t think the better way to do it is to create fake stories on 4chan

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago (2 children)

The story is absolutely fake, however...

It's satirical. It's basically making fun of something that does occur on the subreddit. There is very much a double standard going on over there, and this story is a satire of that.

Reddit, well-known for always siding with the woman in the story (?)

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 28 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Some subs do be like that. The crowd changes a lot with subs

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I interpreted "subs" as submissive men and yes, most subs do be like that

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

It do fit that too

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 138 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Fake, but even if it was true, the problem would have probably been the age change and not the gender change. Teenage relationships and adult relationships have different rules…

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Tell me about those rules. I want to learn!

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No. Those rules have to be learnt the hard way.

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

They don't really. They are often learned the hard way, because no one attempts to explain them or just acts like they know but doesn't really.

Also, teenagers are poorer, so any gift would carry more weight.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 41 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I have to assume 18 year old women are on average way, way, way poorer than 40 year old men. That’s true regardless of the gender, 40 tends to be a pretty high spot in personal capital.

Fake AF, there isn't any post with reverse genders on the subreddit.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

Could have been deleted

[–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago (2 children)

The AITAH people are nothing if not weirdly observant of what happens on that sub. This would be caught immediately

[–] UnityDevice@startrek.website 16 points 6 months ago

The text is probably made up, but people have done such swap posts several times before and got similarly opposite results. Usually the posts get removed from the sub when someone eventually notices the deception, but you can still read them if you have a link. It's a very toxic sub.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 11 points 6 months ago

This post is just a 4chan user doing the only thing they know. Eat hot chip and lie.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 197 points 6 months ago (7 children)

This is remarkably accurate actually, AITA is a dumpster fire. And most of the posts are a work of fiction, I suspect.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

AITA and RelationshipAdvice.

Yeah that subreddit in particular went to shit when the news sites started using the posts to generate content.
