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 often play RPGs as a female character, as a means of stepping outside of myself and actually, you know, role-playing. But I seldom play online games, and do not try to convince anyone that I'm a woman irl.
Still, it's interesting how people assume that because I've chosen to spend my game time watching a female avatar run about, I must be a woman. I've been in some sticky situations, but none thus far involving anyone claiming to be lesbian.
"If I'm gonna stare at an ass for hours it may as well be a hot one" is a reason I've heard.
The last descendant seems to be leaning hard on that demographic as well. The outfits are... Basically shovelware mobile game coomer shit.
That used to be my personal reason, but nowadays, I end up picking female characters even in games like Terraria where there isn't exactly much sex appeal going around. Turns out I like the sounds too, and not just dialog. I prefer hearing a girl grunt instead of some big macho man when I'm jumping or getting shot or whatever.
