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 wonder if anon left something out? Like, threating to kill her or the person(s) she cheated with. Or some of the weapons being illegal? Nah, it would have been included if they weren't. Some people have high drama lives.

I'm very sure he was very amicable and reasonable about it. He's on 4chan, after all.

FYI, women are just as capable of being terrible people as men are

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, but this is 4chan, so the odds aren't in OP's favor.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 day ago

My understanding is there is not a single state with red flag laws that allow all weapons to be seized based on one person's word. Well other than a doctor giving a professional diagnosis.

For everyone else you have to have some evidence. Either multiple people witnessing threats/harassment video, or text based evidence.

There is a definite bias. Especially, ESPECIALLY when it comes to partner violence. And EVEN MORE ESPECIALLY when it comes to gun violence.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

This reads like anti red flag law propaganda anyway. Fake and incel recruitment.

[–] mobotsar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Well red flag laws are bad, on the whole. There's no need to resort to propaganda really. Mostly because they present a disincentive for people to try and find help or share how they're feeling with others; not whatever bullshit the post is about.

Sure, but it isn't their side we read.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 5 points 19 hours ago

Probably the part where this never happened, Anon is trying to get people mad at Red flag laws and women

well even if this is the whole truth it would be a testament to his character that his girlfriend would cheat on him and then lie to the police just so he gets in trouble

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Some people have bad radars about how dangerous the people they get in bed with are.

Some people self-sabotage by getting with toxic partners in the same pattern over and over again because they have unaddressed psychological issues.

It's usually people who were victims of past abuse, too.

Especially past childhood abuse.

[–] KombatWombat@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

C'mon, he probably is leaving important details out, but "if people treat him badly, he must deserve it" is hardly fair.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In the hypothetical scenario that this is the whole truth, what you're doing is victim blaming.

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 2 points 1 day ago

I didn't intend to do that at all. The proverb I had in mind was "birds of a feather flock together". It doesn't mean he deserved it but I do think people who date people who would do this to them are probably not much better either. Also he wrote this on 4chan which is again, not a complete footprint of his personality but certainly a testament to his character.
