    May I ask why you’re on greentext? It’s literally just 4chan screenshots and if you know that kind of humor doesn’t sit well with you then it might be better to avoid it.

      It’s on the front page pretty often, as it seems like one of the larger communities

      I’ll probably end up blocking it as the other reply mentioned, but I don’t usually like doing that. It’s also a bummer cause occasionally something really lovely gets produced by 4chan, you just have to wade through a lot of bleakness before you find it, it would seem

      I don’t mean to disparage others their choice or preferences, just expressing I don’t really understand them

      Hope you have a good one :)

        You would probably enjoy this community more.

        FWIW, I totally get the way you feel about greentexts in general. I think it’s a very natural reaction, and those of us (myself included) who enjoy these posts without reservation are actually the unusual ones who have been desensitized by a lifetime on internet forums.

        There’s a certain jaded callousness, seasoned with a sprinkling of cynicism and misanthropy, which allows one to most fully savor the fruits of c/greentext 😂
