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.

Idk, I struggle to see how someone with a poor social network is a threat. I suppose it's possible for them to become unhinged and lash out, but I highly doubt that's what most people interpret an incel as. So I think it has more to do with elimination of discomfort than removing a threat. The same could be said for an elderly homeless person, who causes discomfort by being dirty and smelly, but isn't really a threat.
Then again, perhaps different people have different motives/triggers, people are complex and I'm not a psychologist or anthropologist.
