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.

They are both autistic.
I love how autism has become this fetishized thing that you slap onto all people operating outside of expected parameters.
That’s exactly what I’d expect an autistic person to say.
I don't think that's what fetishized means.
It is. It refers to things being held in special regard in social arrangements, to an religious extent. The autism discourse, with all the memes and such, does more often than not include a cult-like adherence to beliefs around certain behaviours that anyone could display, shifting focus away from the developmental aspects of autism which are very much real and to diagnostic markers that are less than well defined but are used in clinical settings like: trouble at work/school/kindergarten [Y/N], and certain things the hiveminds of the world latch onto. There I think of people regarding dislike of the "big" light as being an indicator for autism(???).

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!
I work with a guy like this. Lead his icebreaker with "I don't understand people so don't expect me to interact with you."
He's the most brilliant person I've ever worked with. His knowledge is encyclopedic. He will show you how what you're asking is idiotic in as few words as is necessary. He has no fear of manager or customer.
He has my eternal allegiance.
He has no fear of manager or customer.
Oh to be such a brave man
I would follow that man into hell.

An autistic gigachad, obviously.
Gigautist
Wouldn't quite call this "gigachad" behavior, but it's good and healthy to not jump on literally anyone who offers, even if you aren't particularly interested. I suspect anon sees this as "gigachad" because they're steeped in manosphere/incel ideology (unsurprising for a 4chan user).
Definitely autistic, possibly including the woman.
Everyone in this green text is autistic.
On this blessed day.
Speak for yourself.
Everyone on lemmy is autistic.
If this is true, then you're almost certainly right.
~~this~~ every
As opposed to inaudibly shouting
Fake: woman interested in man
Gay: anon is jealous
Ungay: anon is a woman too.
Completlely flips the script, doesn't it?
No, it's just gay with extra steps
You must show your working
It's gymnastics more than math.
Regay: anon is jealous of the guy, because she has a crush on the women following him.
Gigachads don’t shout, do they?
Or they only shout. No in between
