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.

Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 was about people like you.
Also, your comment is offensive to fecalphiliacs
Are you serious? Like, someone says "please don't use shitty slurs that discriminating disabled people" and your instinctive reaction is "THEY SILENCE ME AND CRIMINALIZE KNOWLEDGE". That's just pathetic. You can be an asshole, but get over being called one then.
And unrelated, but Fahrenheit is an awful book lol. Good dystopias are 1984, Brave New World or We. Fahrenheit 451 is just the author mad about television and saying that it's so stupid and will ruin everyone's brain. While the thought itself of knowledge being forbidden can be interesting and is an element in other dystopias, Fahrenheit is mainly based on the pure belief that books are a better medium than television, which is beyond ridiculous.
TIL you haven't read Fahrenheit 451
