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.

Do people have any idea what being autistic means?

For them, apparently an excuse

I think 4chan is adamant in using definitions the wrong way.

You know

'trolling'

Unfortunately, it seems to be thrown around by people who are trying to avoid blame for bad behavior. A lot of IP2 streamers yell that they are autistic to persuade people not to call the police. This stuff eventually filters through the internet to the point that people are using the word autistic in association with bad behaviors that have nothing to do with actual autism.

Insightful, thanks!

I don't think so, especially people who treat it like a badge of honor or superpower.
