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.

The idiot was Zack Snyder, not the actual author of Watchmen, Alan Moor.

In the comics, vv this vv is what Ozymandias manufactured to trick the world into peaceful deescalation. A supposed alien for all of humanity to unite against.

But that's too cartoony for Snyder, so he changed it to something more "realistic", ironically undermining the believability of the story.
