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.

Let her be. She'll be doing that for the rest of her life and there is nothing anyone but licensed therapist can do.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago

She won't let a licensed therapist help her, so no, they also can't do anything.

They don’t want a relationship, they want a never ending storyline. And if there’s no drama then they’ll make some.

This was my life for 7 years. I've been happily single ever since she found some other poor sob to torment with her bullshit.

If there's something that drives me up the wall, it's this shit. You found someone nice and you blame them for your fuckups and try to turn everyone against them. How scummy can you be!

Somewhat tangential, but my sister-in-law insists that people use "latinx" whenever she hears someone say latino or latina. This despite the fact that latinos overwhelmingly prefer the terms "latino" or "hispanic" to describe themselves; in fact most have never even heard the term latinx and most of those who have are offended by that, not by latino or hispanic. I like pointing out to my (very white) sister-in-law that there is nothing more white than telling other ethnicities what they should or should not be called.

Latinx sounds like a new Linux distribution.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

we should make it a distro, just to fuck it over. Sounds funny to me.

Latinx sounds like a cartoon about Latina fairies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

I thought it was a music genre for a long time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

It should also bee a cool drink or a bag of chips.

Saving from what actually? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 weeks ago

Presumably from her guilt

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Latino/a individuals have overwhelmingly said "No" to Latinx.

I haven't had many latina friends, but the ones I have had basically said a slur would actually be less offensive than latinx, and yeah, white people dictating what other cultures can and can't do.. kinda racist...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

okay but what do genderqueer people whose first language is spanish say?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Latine! It has the added benefit of being pronounceable in Spanish, unlike latinx.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

to be fair I don't know how to pronounce the x in english either.

but that is the one I've heard most often. edit: e not x, most often

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)

The male form doubles as gender neutral. Some people have tried to start using -e ending, but I'm pretty sure basically no one actually uses it.

Edit: Gotta love the dualing anecdote replies.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

e ending is what I've seen from gender non conforming spanish-as-first-language speakers most often. I'm gonna go with it until it starts being overwhelmed with something else, languages being living things and them being the people who I see as having any right to determine this bit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

As someone who is native of a romance language, I would prefer using the male form. It doesn't feels 100%, but it's worth it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

They can call themselves latinx and I would call them that as well, if that's what they choose. The issue is with people (like my sister-in-law) insisting that everybody hispanic should be called latinx.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

im just saying, those are the only people who I listen to on this discourse and I will parrot whatever they say, because my tounge absolutely defiles that language every time I try to speak it, and don't think straight cis people have a right to an opinion here, regardless of their language preference.

More like 'anon knows what a normal and healthy relationship is'

[–] [email protected] 83 points 1 month ago (1 children)

4channer knows what a normal and healthy relationship is?

Sounds fake and gay

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He probably got the Latino friend to write the post.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

OMG IT'S LATINX YOU SEXIST /s

[–] [email protected] 61 points 4 weeks ago (7 children)

She just likes the high of drama. When emotions are running high some people get an adrenaline rush. It’s why for some people makeup sex can feel great. Since their body is full of adrenaline after a verbal fight. They’re basically adrenaline junkies, but instead of base jumping of a bridge they achieve their high trough drama. So when they get into a normal relationship they are numb to the highs and lows of this kind of relationship. Since they are used to extreme highs and lows. They go into withdrawal in a normal relationship and then they feel unhappy.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 weeks ago

Just do meth like a normal person geez
