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.

I'd argue that's not completely true because in that case why not just watch porn or why watch non-sexy video game streamers who also get plenty of viewers?

I do think you are partially correct though in a way that makes it a little more depressing, I think a lot of viewers see a cute girl playing video games specifically as a combination they like so they can fantasize about specifically having a "gamer girlfriend". But if they like that, then they're also there for the gameplay or will inevitably get at least a little invested in it as they watch.

people want some fun storyline around their porn.
