Fake, but even if it was true, the problem would have probably been the age change and not the gender change. Teenage relationships and adult relationships have different rules…
Greentext
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.
Also, teenagers are poorer, so any gift would carry more weight.
Yeah, I have to assume 18 year old women are on average way, way, way poorer than 40 year old men. That’s true regardless of the gender, 40 tends to be a pretty high spot in personal capital.
I guess it would be nice to have people think equally of men and women, but I don’t think the better way to do it is to create fake stories on 4chan
The story is absolutely fake, however...
It's satirical. It's basically making fun of something that does occur on the subreddit. There is very much a double standard going on over there, and this story is a satire of that.
Reddit, well-known for always siding with the woman in the story (?)
This is not a Reddit thing this is just double standards…
Yeah, people act like a site with half a billion users somehow is only representative of a very niche population contained within reddit. I also love the "well I saw x posted here yesterday and people loved it! Here it is today, and people hate it! reddit can't make up its mind!", as if reddit is a monolith, they took the hive-mind shit-talk literally. Then that same person will complain when that reddit is a hive mind...
My guy, this is just how people are. You are in a place where the group is large enough that you, in the population statistics sense, are getting a snapshot of humanity.
Shouldn't have changed the ages, it chanhges the whole thing too much to compare
Fake AF, there isn't any post with reverse genders on the subreddit.
The AITAH people are nothing if not weirdly observant of what happens on that sub. This would be caught immediately
The text is probably made up, but people have done such swap posts several times before and got similarly opposite results. Usually the posts get removed from the sub when someone eventually notices the deception, but you can still read them if you have a link. It's a very toxic sub.
context is everything....always.
