These comments are more enjoyable than the greentext itself
I genuinely don’t understand why you would subscribe to a community about 4chan greentexts and not expect to see shocking language. Its like going to the beach and being upset that theres sand.
It’s why there’s a big warning on the sidebar that says “Beware: sometimes Anon says bad words or things that are unhealthy. We’re here to laugh at Anon, not agree or get angry.”
Not just the men, but the women and children too?
If there only was a way not to read screenshots from one of the most racist websites on earth only to find gasp racism. Sadly there is none.
I didn’t understand what shocking language you were referring to until I read the other comments. I’d never seen that P word before.

It’s a default sub. I just started using this and am now looking for the unsubscribe. Don’t need some slur ridden post on my feed.
Well after checking, I see I’m not subscribed.
Unlike reddit, there’s no “default subs” on Lemmy. It’s either “all” or “subscribed”. All literally means all communities, so yes, objectionable stuff will show up in your feed. The solution is to block them, then they won’t show in All any more.
You could very easily switch to a different instance that more closely aligns with your values
The community seems split on this one lol. Makes me think that some of the people who subscribed to this community literally don’t know what a greentext is. Which is nothing new; I made this months ago:
Personally, it takes the fun out of creating OC because I like making edgier memes but there’s no community for it here. And even if something does make people laugh and get upvoted, the mods will take it down. (For example, I made a meme about a pregnant alcoholic mother and it got taken down. Like really? We can’t make abortion jokes?) So fuck it, I mainly just repost now. If you can’t beat em join em.
It seems like some people who aren’t familiar with greentexts don’t quite get the point of the community. You read the ramblings of Anon like you would watch animals at the zoo, which is different than endorsing everything Anon says.
And you shouldn’t. Anon is usually deranged.
Some bad words and unhealthy opinions are bound to make an appearance. In that case, you’re supposed to be dumbfounded at how Anon thinks/acts, shake your head, and maybe get a guilty chuckle out of it. Like the sidebar says, if you’re getting angry while reading these, you’re probably doing it wrong.
Thank you for your service.
Didn’t subscribe. It was on my front page.

Anyone else expected this to… go somewhere? Like have an outcome?
lack of a conclusion makes it more likely to be true. Fiction usually has a conclusion, life usually doesn’t
Life always has a conclusion 💀
Eh, I have a 100% immortality rate at present.
Based on all available evidence from the course of my life so far, the data clearly shows a 0% death rate. Current trends expected to hold while data collection available.
So far so good.
that’s the one guaranteed one we have!
Death and taxes, womp womp
I AM DEATH, NOT TAXES. I TURN UP ONLY ONCE.

Funny enough, the greatest blessing in India simply adds the words “in law”
At least a couple of Kitboga’s calls have originated in India, but all the characters he plays are as upstanding as they come. Except for this one time at Dave & Buster’s. Kit:
- never wishes for the plague
- always respects all varieties of English
- always respects that not everyone calling everyone else is US-based
- never uses slurs, and Kit’s
- never gonna give you up
Kitboga’s “more Kitboga” channel has gotten me through so many work days. He’s one of the most insanely funny and talented dudes I’ve never seen.
More Kitboga is the one true faith but I didn’t want to scare newcomers away.
That’s fair. Most people would see a 36-hour series of a guy talking to scammers and nope directly out, before learning that the guy is actually nine different people at once basically doing some light psychological torture to some really evil people.
I cannot wait for CrowPro.
Reading this thread I realized that I had no idea what that word meant, figured it was a particular kind of scam.
A slur for indians pretty sure
wiktionary has suprisingly good info on it https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/pajeet
tl;dr: yes, it’s a slur
If an Arabic speaker is bothering you, simply tell them “Kos Omak”
What does this one mean? And is it pronounced how it’s written???
To answer the other question, roughly (culturally) like “and I’m going to fuck your mom”
Ah yup yup, thank you!
Kos, like coast without the T, Omak like Oh, and Mach like faster than sound.
Thank you :)
Cool that the shitjustworks mods are just straight up posting racial slurs now
E: Lotta racism enjoyers in here lmao, seems to vibe real well with shitjustworks’s Rule 2
A slur in my good christian greentexts? What has 4chan come to?
Noooooooo waaaaaaaay. You’re telling me a screenshot from 4Chan miiiiight contain racial slurs?
how could there be slurs on 4chan?!?! unacceptable!!!
Anon is a racist asshole?
Pikachu_face.jpgRemember: you can block this community or even certain people. You don’t have to read anything that offends you.
The problem with using dehumanising language like this is that it means that someone’s humanity, in your eyes, is contingent on your approval.
It says more about you as a person than it does about the people you criticise.

Yeah are we just ignoring the racial slurs? Bigots gonna be bigot-ing. Usually they’ll do so on 4chan.
read the sidebar, nobody cares
there are slurs on 4chan
slurs on greentext? How could this happen??
I don’t recognize any slurs besides the weirdly warranted black death thing.
4chan made up a new racist name!
OP is exactly as much a bad person as the scammers.
exactly as much.
right.
I wish black death upon your mother.
Thanks. Fuck her.
Not if she’s got the Black Death.
Too bad, you gotta fuck her. It’s in the contract.
Because the insult is too insulting, or because saying it while representing a company is inappropriate?
Because he then proceeded to log onto 4chan and tell a story with racist slurs. I don’t care that he wished the black death on their mothers, good for him, I care that he’s racist while writing this post.
log onto 4chan and tell a story with racist slurs
Are you planning on asking the tides to stop next?
Why is “pajeet” a racist slur?
I am not sealioning here, i genuinely do not know.

racism
It’s not a real Indian name, it’s a made up name from a meme about Indians shitting in the street.
As far as racial slurs go this one is weak as shit.
Your attempt to use spoiler syntax didn’t work. You need a space between the opening three colons and the word “spoiler”.
I had to go look and I’m still not sure I understand, but it seems like it’s derogatory because whoever wrote the greentext is basically calling Indians “street shitters”.
Cherry pick much?
He only said the racist slur 5 times
Yeah, but isn’t the black death thing infinitely worse? You just gonna sit there and decide which bad things are bad enough to matter?
Here’s the thing. This dude is butting heads with those dudes and they’re gonna insult each other with whatever makes the other most mad. Here, that’s slurs and black deaths.
I can agree it’s a little bit racist and wrong to tell the story using that sort of slur, and honestly I kind of think likely the entire story is very racist due to being fake and made up to get a laugh at the expense of Indian people, but if it’s real it seems worse to be knowingly bringing harassment down on your coworkers by intentionally antagonizing people for a laugh when you’re supposed to be doing your job, I think that probably does more actual harm.
Racist trash 1/10
Fuck that. I don’t care where they’re from. Scammers don’t deserve to be treated with respect or dignity. They are subhuman trash and ruin people’s lives.
“Pajeet” is racist as fuck. We can hate scammers without being racist.
I don’t see how it’s any different from calling Russians “Ivan” of Germans “Fritz”. It’s not a nice thing to do but I’d place it pretty far down on the racism scale tbh.
Ivan or Fritz are real names/surnames from those countries which have completely different meaning now compared to how they were used in wars. Pajeet is a made up name only used so far to hate on Indians/ South Asians.
TIL it’s not even a real name
Nope. Closest I can think of are Prajyot and Pradeep.
It does look a lot like Paget, which is a French name pronounced differently
Calling russians Ivan and Germans Fritz is also racist, even if the names are legit 😁
It might not be as bad as calling Indians Pajeet, because there’s less contempt, but still!
Removed by mod
Someone needs to take a chill pill. I did say “pajeet” is worse (and I’ll add that it’s on a whole other level of offence), and somehow that makes me a racist. Sure bud. All I was saying is dehumanizing russians or germans is not OK 🙄
While yes it is absolutely racist, scammers are not capable of having an identity associated with someone who is on par with humanity. They’re far below animals.
I prefer the term “demihuman” or any other dehumanizing language so they know who they are.
Minus the human trafficked ones of course. Only the vast majority who do it willingly.
Edit: let me clarify. I did not say using racist terminology is correct nor justified. I’m saying that people who scam others are so far removed from the identity of humanity and compassion that they do not deserve the light of day, much less the air they breathe.
Using racial slurs isn’t only damaging and insulting to the person being directly talked to or about. I suggest adopting a blanket position against racial slurs in any context.
But what about <incredibly contrived specific example involving song lyrics, guns to heads etc.>, can I say it then?
I didnt say using racial slurs is correct. I said the act of scamming someone is so far removed from the identity of what it means to be human.
I never defended the terminology used in the post. Nor would I use that. Its shallow, and means far less than telling them they aren’t someone capable of receiving any care.
Scamming is core to what it is to be human, other animals don’t scam, and when they do, insofar as they do, we say they are like us
If you can’t be made fun of, you’re the bad guy.
there is a huge gap between “making fun of” and “racist bullshit”.
Not really. It’s racism when he goes around putting them down without context that makes sense or discriminates with employment stuff and whatnot.
Yay, someone committed le wrong, that means we get dehumanoze them yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
I’m a bit lost. I didn’t justify using racist terms. I’m saying that scammers lack the core traits of humanity, compassion and care in others.
And they don’t deserve anything, let alone feeling comfortable in a conversation, or the air they breathe.
That is regardless of race, sex, gender. If you scam someone else, you don’t deserve life.
I get scammed every day on a near daily basis. I get scammed when my landlord raises my rent without fair cause. I get scammed when I look at inflated sale prices at my local grocery store for already shrinkflated goods. I get scammed when I get fees and tips tacked on to my bill when I go to the movie theater or a restaurant. It’s fucking infuriating but I don’t wish death upon my waitress, the store owner, or even my landlord. It’s all just unregulated capitalism in action. Scams, big or small, make money, and money moves us forward.
Just because some degenerate across the world with a funny accent who I will likely never interact with plays by the same rules doesn’t mean he should be thrown into a wood chipper. IMO.
Dehumanization isnt just racism lol. Its any kind of denial of humanity to anyone. And i really dont care for it.

have you read their comment? they literally said that scammers are “less than animals”. JFC
They are? Being human relies on community and compassion for others. If you scam someone else, you deserve nothing but the dirt you walk on, let alone the clothes on your back. Regardless of gender, race, sex, etc.
And a large portion of them are being trafficked for slave labor; so that’s fun
Doesn’t that actually absolve them of their shit behavior? It isn’t the same to try and scam grandmas because you want a shinier car than because you’re locked at a basement and beaten up if you don’t make your kidnappers money.
Sorry, when I said “So that’s fun”, I was being sarcastic
But that’s kinda what I was trying to get at. You don’t really know if a scammer is being trafficked or not, so casting a wide net that calls all of them human garbage becomes difficult
explain the calling back and death threats then?
Imagine you’re already a slave and then someone curses your mother.
right. laugh and move on because that’s a childish thing to do?
also, if I’m a slave, wasting my master’s time making prank calls and not making money will get me beaten.
Now, you imagine your mother getting cursed.
I think you severely misinterpreted my comment.
