Comment on Anon works out
Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoYeah, I understand that it’s a subversion of what’s expected, it’s just also depressing
“The joke is that you thought it was just a weird interaction with strangers, but he’s actually being shitty father and abusive husband!” doesn’t really work for me 🤷🏻 I get why it’s funny to other people, I just can’t really relate, and so much of 4chan humor has that same shared thread of being an asshole, life being a bleak existence, or making up a strawman to attack a particular population. It’s just kinda depressing to me :/

I probably will at some point, it’s a shame though cause every once in a while something really fun or charming comes out of the greentext communities or reddit or lemmy. I don’t meant to condemn folks for their choice or preferences, just express that I can’t relate to them
Hope you have a good one :)

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.
Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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

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 😂

I didn’t realize there was a wholesome greentext comm community here on Lemmy, thanks :)

See, if I block greentext I’m gonna really miss bewildering nonsense fever-dream posts like this:
sh.itjust.works/…/1df4d389-3611-48f5-bafa-1b4160b…
I saw it and thought back to this discussion lol
Anyway, hope you’re having a good one
