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 like how often people who start white knighting are looked down on by both sides. Something about the disingenuousness of it I guess

It is because to the harasser they are killjoys. To the aggrieved they are robbing them of agency to help themselves. However, fuck the harassers, and sometimes people need help and don't know how to ask. I would rather be called a white knight than a creep or someone who did nothing and was thus complicit in the harassment. I'm old and grumpy though and if I'm "helping" it is because I'm sick of the bullshit not because I care if people think I'm a good person; I think that intent matters.

killjoys

I thinks it's more they know they white Knight is doing the same thing they are but with a holier than thou smug attitude.
