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.

No, not really. I'm saying that if there's zero effect for the would-be victim, I can't see them being wronged. I think time freeze is probably not the right scenario for this though. They'd be physically affected. Copying them in an simulation type thing is more along the lines of what I'd consider harmless.

Unfortunately for me, I feel like if I thought I could get away with something consequences free, I’d probably do it. I’m not proud of that aspect of my morality, but I’d be lying if I denied it.

That said, I remind myself that if I’m too ashamed to do it under the scrutiny of people, then it is 100% not something I’m doing. That goes for simulations as well. Because there is always a chance someone will find out… and frankly, I don’t think I could live with myself.

Right or wrong, that’s my take on it.

Nah, people will judge you for totally harmless shit. Their judgement doesn't mean you're wrong. People hide their gayness or niche religions under the everything of people and they should not have to.

True when will rapists get to come out of the closet. What an insulting comparison.

Who said anything about rape? Also clearly you can figure out morality without it being external judgement. You're coming at me with a chip on your shoulder.
