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.

Parents: "You should be punished for having romantic feelings and a sense of independence"

Me: "I reflexively and ritualistically punish myself whenever I'm feeling romantic or pursuing independence"

Nah. Nothing here that I can see.

How to manufacture sexual submissives πŸ€”

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't really think we need to manufacture any more. The way I see it, there's already a natural surplus of bottoms.

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 month ago

natural surplus

Don't you mean national surplus, or global surplus? Or maybe bottoms are just more naturally created?

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 86 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No anon, you became who you were meant to be in spite of your parents. You just be careful about it, ok?

Is what I would say if op was anon, but op isn't anon so obviously the whole thing is fake and gay (which I'd like to remind everyone is not a bad thing).

[–] semperverus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Why does it feel like youre saying "fake and gay" like you're trying to blend in, like some weird 4chan skinwalker?

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Because this is the greentext sub and that is what people do here.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, we're literally not on 4chan. For good reason.

It's like a plantation. You enjoy the fruits of their labor, but hanging out there is not for most.

The mountainous burden of irony is truly something to behold. It's like watching that strong dude from Baron Von Munchausen

[–] slingstone@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Dear Lord, it's the fake gaywalker!

Could be transfem, might be straight, which might be even gayer tbh

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Nah would have been mentioned if he was anything other than gay.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Fake, claims he isn't a neet. Gay, fantasizes about this green text daily.

[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 57 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not hopeless, just overcompensating from the freedom.

OP needs to strongly consider whether he:

  1. actually likes doing those things, or
  2. is just entranced/aroused by being able to do things that would be otherwise forbidden by his family and culture.

Either is OK, but when being the source of that behaviour, the former is a lot more healthy than the latter.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

But point #1 and #2 are the same.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

they can be

[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes, but in many to most cases, no.

People from suppressed cultures/families who suddenly experience freedom have a tendency to go after anything that spits in the face of their former repression, purely for that freedom. As in, they are motivated by the freedom to choose, and not by whether or not they actually like the act in question.

Which is why the former is much more psychologically healthier. It rarely generates regret, whereas the latter has the potential to generate regret once they β€œget [it] worked out of their system” and realize that they don’t like the act itself - and may actually hate it or how it’s changed them - and have only been attracted to their ability to choose it or its ability to be offensive in the context of their prior repression.

The dilemma of the chicken or the egg problem

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 59 points 1 month ago (1 children)

how? did them being horny make their parents catholic?

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

OP's parents saw that he would need divine intervention.

[–] match@pawb.social 6 points 1 month ago

Took one look at OP and all three of them went straight to baptism

[–] breakingcups@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

One might say, the chick and the cracked egg.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 month ago

Probably a bit of both, anon

But in reality it's not fucked up, it's just who you are and what you like, though again your tight ass upbringing may have given you some ideas

[–] maxxadrenaline@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sounds about right. In my later days I tried explaining my unique tastes to my religrous parents only because they eventually came over every day and my lifestlye was all over the house. They couldnt handle it and kept digging and finding reasons to shun me. They always did thtt, looking for things they cant handle. Then they start trying to convert me to a lame christian lifestyle again in my adulthood. Like they want a conservatorship when they invaded a life perfectly fine without them knowing.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Then they start trying to convert me to a lame christian lifestyle again in my adulthood.

My parents gave that up decades ago when every single time they brought up religion, I would tire them out with questions they could never answer. I think they realized that they were accomplishing nothing, and maybe even hurting their own faith in the process lol

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 15 points 1 month ago

You were fucked from the beginning, repression maybe made him bounce back even harder though

[–] harmsy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago
