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.

Look at something written 500 years ago. 100 years ago. 50 years ago. Language changes all the time, and there is no stopping that. Yep, language is an endless cycle of switching out common words and adapting to social rules. I'd highly reccommend to follow that flow instead of trying to bring back the "good old days" when n-words and r-words were common and accepted.

The guy is talking about an accepted phenomenon called the euphemism treadmill. Look it up.
