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.

I dunno, I think it's asking a lot of drunk guys playing videogames to suddenly snap in to support mode on the spot like that. Even sober if someone just snapped and started ranting about something that personal with no context and nobody knew before I can't say that I'd be able to respond in a perfectly supportive manner.
At least in this totally real situation they had one friend (OOP) that was able to give some slight form of acknowledgement, even if it wasn't particularly emotionally comforting.
I dunno my friends are pretty solid with emotional support when drunk or sober its not that complicated
I think the current mind state of the group is more important than sobriety or gender (though both of those probably play a role). At least for me, I can have a hard time immediately switching gears socially, that coupled with the shock of having someone start ranting about something I had no idea of, would be hard to be a total role model. I'd probably end up doing something similar to OOP, I definitely wouldn't awkwardly leave because I'd feel too bad, I'd probably ask if they'd talked to anyone or seen a doctor but if the other guy was also super drunk and ranting I don't know how long I'd be able to stick around
