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.

Basically the reason Saw is doing the crazy shit is because he's an old guy with cancer and his health insurance said he's too old to get care so they're just gonna let him die. So he starts taking it out on people that are/could be related to the reason he was denied health insurance (in the 1st one I think it's his doctor?)
At least that's how I recall the story
He also targeted people who took life granted, like those with multiple suicide attempts. Which evidently cured them afterwards??
One of the plot points in one of the later movies is that he was too sick to keep doing it so a copy cat started it, but they were selecting innocent people which pissed him off and he killed them.
So he realises he has enough funds to organise a dispirit group of strangers into a kill chamber, and does that instead of using it to fund cancer treatment either in the USA or elsewhere.
By "targeting people who take life for granted," saw is a hypocrite!
So he is like a shit Luigi?
