It’s the racism. You can be interested and entertained by it, but many people prefer not to condone it.

could we maybe stop downvote bombing greentexts with takes we disagree with? 🙄
obviously the author has some toxic ass views but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an interesting/entertaining greentext to read
the only posts on this sublemmy that should get downvoted are irrelevant and/or boring greentexts

No, that’s exactly what that means, in fact. Stop the bullshit.

Next you’re going to want us to stop downvoting unpopular opinions in the unpopular opinion community

To champion the original and true purpose of the down vote has to be the most hopeless and nobel cause to pursue on the internet. You would almost have to start a communities uo899979⁹
My eternal gratitude for your community service, you are a stronger person then I ever will be.

If you don’t want baffling, fucked up takes, then you don’t want green texts, go to a microblogging community. I feel like the entire point of being here is to see the insanity without engaging with or or condoning it.
Am I so out of touch?

I’ve heard this place described as a zoo. We’re just here to observe. Posts are not meant to endorse screeching, throwing poop, or whatever else anons might do.

On Reddit, it took very little time for the bigots to roll in and create a familiarly unpleasant atmosphere in /r/greentext. Downvotes are, perhaps, the lightest form of disagreement one could offer to a potential chink in lemmy’s armor against righties. The absence of chuds is a decent portion of why I love this place. If they find an “ironic” home here, as they did on reddit, it’d suck for me.

Okay this is a take I can understand and respect. That being said, how can we observe unhinged posts, acknowledge them as such, and have a laugh about them, while making it clear that they are unacceptable? This feels a difficult tightrope to walk, given the context
