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.

"criminal" is not an exclusive identity, it's just a label for someone who happens to have committed a crime. You can be a criminal and a worthy part of society at the same time. Killing people almost always causes more misery than it removes.

Yeah, and maybe it should be mentioned that Arkham City has a huge amount of political prisoners and other innocents inside of it.

Right, though Batman stories rarely depict ordinary people who just happen to commit a single crime. Criminals in that universe are all cackling psychopaths who wander the streets, assaulting, robbing, and murdering anyone they encounter. They’re much more aptly labeled villainous outlaw gangsters than mere criminals.

Thanks, I may have missed the part where this post is about a fictional city 🙈
