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:

Sorry to see you are getting a bunch of hate but linguistic relativity is happening in real time as people angrily reply to you or people try to shout louder that they don’t want their language to change for the sake of inclusivity. Literally watching people live in denial and choosing to ignore that reality is changing around them is morbidly fascinating. This is a phenomena that transcends language, every fiber of humanity is diametrically opposed within itself. Some people want radical change and the possibility of prosperity for the majority and the other people want things to remain the same and within their control.

Like watching the bow burst on a sinking ship and losing yourself in the majesty and patterns within the utter destruction and chaos.

I think it's just anti-woke losers having a panic attack

They cling to the accusation of hypocrisy about cultural relativism so people who actually hold diverse cultures to the same D&I standards scare the shit out of them

They have nothing but made up arguments and things that endanger those arguments makadem real hekkin' amgy

You talk a lot, but we're having a discussion in english about how the whole hispanic community should follow USA's woke values because some french people say so while glorificating "Linguistic relativity", aka. "screw languages i don't understand". And I'm a loser for defending my language.

Come back when you know what you're talking about.

Nuestro lengua es un lengua de noestros concadores. Los conquistadors de Espania. No es un lengua de Mexico como Azteca o Maya.

Hello again moghafil, once again here on planet earth, literally nobody said you had to use the fucking letter, just commented on what you flipping a fucking table over other people choosing to use it for their own personal use of the language like a belligerent drunk accusing "you think ya better than me gringo‽" says more about you than about some global conspiracy of neocolonialism perpetuated by someone using a goddamned e.

You're not defending anything except your own ego, you are as a master of fortifications once said "an idiot alone on a wall", and yes, it makes you one of the most pathetic losers I've had the misfortune of having to stop and explain something very slowly to, not because I'm some kind of queer fascist conspiring to destroy the latin world one e at a time, but because you and like 5 other people are so explosively transphobic and enbiephobic that some not you person who you've never spoken to before using a single letter once because they want to in their own personal use of a language be more inclusive of others is grounds to dogpile on them about neocolonialism this and "muh language!" that and language settler shit this and destroying an entire culture that.

Either I am an expert gaslighter who has turned a single letter into a digital matador's cape for you to break your skull open against a wooden poll to be embarking on this campaign you accuse me of, or you're drunk and having an ego trip and this is what you're doing so that your niece doesn't kick you off the couch and make you uber home for the third time this week for being an obnoxious drunk "that relative" that ends up being NCd at the end of the story on RelationshipAdvice for harassing your kid for not forgiving you for punching their infant in the face or some crazy shit of that sort.

We are to all just bow before how you apparently know best because something something "my language" something something "stop acting like you're better than me" something something "that's not how linguistic gender works but also shut up about how that's totally how grammatical gender tends to end up working because I as a native speaker of a language deem this to be "white people shit" and also shut up about how all these reforms also come from other native speakers that also mostly just use it in their own personal writing and speaking and nobody is actually forcing anything but I want to defend sexism, transphobia, and enbiephobia without getting called out for it and you using a single letter in your personal writing and speaking feels like a threat to that so I'm gonna whip out the tired tucker carlson line about "shoving it down our throats" like a trench coat wearer about to get themselves added to a national registry."

Believe it or not, your mother moaning out in spanish instead of english when they made the mistake of not just swallowing you instead does not bestow upon you some divine right to declare what other people are and aren't allowed to do while communicating in spanish in their own personal writing and speaking.

Now go home, you may be sober, but you're as much an embarrassment as an ass up face in the pavement and vomit drunk.

Eso es mucho texto para alguien que no sabe distiguir entre un sustantivo y un adjetivo.

Edit: Sorry, forgot to translate to freedom: "TL;DR"

Damn talk 'bout being butthurt 👀

[–] Audrey0nne@leminal.space -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You edited for a joke but not to correct the spelling of distinguir while arguing about grammar. Class act, also your Spanish reads like translated text.

[–] jnk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

...Are you done bitching and telling me how to speak my language? Now I know less about my mother tongue because I mistyped a word. Yeah, pretty solid argument right here.

If that's all you can say I guess I'm done here already

¿Quihúbole? Enseña me o castiga me. Demuestra tu dominio sobre el lenguaje.

First of all, you made up the first word and wrote incorrectly "enséñame o castígame" wHIle arGUiNg aBouT gRAmMar. CLasS aCt. 👀

Now, unlike some people here, I'm not retarded enough to believe you'll actually listen to me even tho I'm right. So here's a bunch of tweets from the freaking RAE solving your lack of schooling so long ago i can't believe this is still subject of debate.

About gendered vs "neutral" (still gendered, but with neutral usage) words: https://x.com/RAEinforma/status/1098229948299399170

About why "e" and "x" bullshit is unnecessary: https://x.com/RAEinforma/status/1019910516154748929

And finally, what does "lenguaje inclusivo" actually means: https://x.com/RAEinforma/status/1446052782922993664

If you or the other clown have any other doubts: jusk ask them. Not me, you're a los cause for me.

Just shows that you remain ignorant of the Spanish language. Thank you for pointing out my errors I couldn’t be bothered to care when speaking to you.
