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.

For the unaware, “an hero” refers to an old MySpace memorial page made for a kid who committed suicide. One of the comments on the page started with something along the lines of “he was such an hero to end it all…” and it quickly got memed on 4chan to mock suicide. “Become an hero” is basically an old 4chan version of “go kill yourself.”

Ropemaxx is the new an hero, as a way to mock looksmaxxing posters on /fit/. Basically, looksmaxxing is referring to someone becoming attractive as a result of working out. If someone is tailoring their workouts to conform to the “ideal” body proportions and focusing almost entirely on looks, then they are looksmaxxing.

The meme is that if someone is incapable of looksmaxxing, (basically, if they have an ugly face and can’t get attractive by working out,) then they should ropemaxx (commit suicide) instead.
