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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

MODERATORS
They're invested in PC gaming as social capital where the performance of your rig contributes to your social value. They're mad because you're not invested in the same way. People often get defensive when others don't care about the hobbies they care about because there's a false perception that the not caring implies what they care about is somehow less than, which feels insulting.
Don't yuck others' yum, but also don't expect everyone to yum the same thing.
Very well put! I'd also add that most people aren't even really conscious that that's the reason that they're mad. There's ways to express your negative opinion without stating it as a fact or downplaying the other person's taste.
I'm very certain Anon isn't just saying "nah, my rig works" to them when asked.
Maybe closer to "LMAO normies wasting money. fuckin coomsumers, upgrading for AAAA slop! LMFAO" into conversations they weren't invited to.
