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.

Holy fucking shit. I almost was exposed to a swear word on the Internet by some asshole cunt. That bitch didn't know it's fucking illegal to swear on the Internet. Thank fucking god someone put a thin line over it that barely covers it. I was about to shit a brick.
fuck
The only explanation I’ve heard is that big domains like .world use AI to scan images for filtering. That and reposting content from other website with strict profanity filters.
Those alleged filters are so fucking strict that a four year old who barely recognizes motherfucking letter would read that shit like a spelling bee champion.
The hell are on about? This is not Instagram.
This screen cap is two years old. Who knows how many site filters it has had to filter through.
I doubt it is .world and not every mainstream social media
Damn. There goes the neighborhood. Cya all in a lower instance.
It's .ml that can't stand a little bad language. I doubt they are scanning images though.
What's with people and their hate boners for a bar over a swear word? They're just reposted from Reddit or twitter or something
Because I'm tired of the culture where we call things "grape", "corn" and "pewpews" and infantilize serious topics for the sake of being advertised to.
Come at me, "It's not that serious" brigade.
Pew is for Ray guns. You mean powpows.
its annoying that people want to share these posts but are offended (or afraid of advertisers being offended) by the words "fuck", "shit", "bitch", "pussy", "rape", "suicide", so on and so fourth.
*forth
You can't just say f*th on the internet. You're free to go fourth and say anything else your perverted heart fucking desires you sick and twisted parent fucker, but not that
:(
Yeah, I don't get it. I personally don't like swearing, but I honestly don't mind reading or hearing it. It's really weird to me that people get mad at not seeing swearing, as if somehow naughty words make something better.
Express yourself however you want.
I think it's not about swearing making something better than it is about swearing being apart of the original text. After all, nobody would be complaining if there just wasn't a swear word to begin with. Now we get a giant block of color that distracts from everything around it and half the time doesn't even do it's job (I can still see and clearly tell what the word is)
Honestly, I wish we'd copy/paste the text for these, snapshotting an image just sucks.
In my opinion it is not about swearing, and (not) seeing it, it is about censorship. Some big sites censor content that contains words that are considered bad by advertisers, these are not only swear words but also words like die, suicide, porn... This has changed the way some people communicate, with people using euphemisms or censoring words in images themselves: people censoring themselves before the big internet site censors them.
As you wisely said: "Express yourself however you want". The original author of the text in this post used a swear word and later it was censored by someone reposting it in social media to avoid upsetting the censorship machine or whatever website it was. I find this unacceptable.
I fully support using a rich vocabulary and not using swear words, being polite. There are many reasons to do this: respect for others, improving ones communication skills, practising formal writing... but giving in to censorship imposed by social media websites should NEVER be one. Fuck censorship. It is unacceptable to allow big tech companies to shape the way we speak with their censorship.
Express yourself however you want, if the website you're in doesn't allow you to do it don't give in to censorship, give up that website and look for a place where you can express yourself.
I agree with everything except the conclusion. There are a lot of good reasons to censor on a platform (kids use it), and good reasons to go along with it.
New copy pasta just dropped.
What a life one must lead for this to be so upsetting it's worthy all this pearl clutching. This is borderline edgelording.
