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.

As a girl, my experience is even the particularly competitive women basically get harassed out of competitive gaming. My exes and I used to play overwatch together and I have an all female friend group that sometimes plays valorant together and yeah the misogyny has guaranteed we all stay casuals.
I mean everyone gets harassed by the small amount of shitheads online. I used to get death threats at least once a day in World of Tanks. People would pick whatever they thought would offend me, throwing racial epithets, ableist terms... Name it, I got it. That's how shitheads work: they throw stuff at you, see what sticks, and start digging where they see the marks.
