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.

Give him a ride, you say? Hmm, could be hot.

The sex is implied.

I have been to vr chat and its scary how quickly vr blends the lines of reality.

At what point does it stop being a video game and does it become a form of internet porn.

At what point does it ceases to be internet porn and does It become a relationship?

Many vulnerable people find their way to these places and we need more awareness about predators.

People in relationships need to become aware of these dynamics and at some point set boundaries as a couple.

On the flipside there are people who need cuddles but cannot stand physical contact.. from that perspective vr becomes a medical device.

I think vc is voice chat in this post.

Vr chat is full of cuddle rooms though.

Its Infinite digital space in the form off many small rooms crowded with anime characters sleeping on the floor, quite a sight.

I read it as video chat. But yeah you could be right.

He's kissing the mic, not the screen or camera

It's definitely Viet Cong.

In addition to what you're saying (as I fully agree with it):

Even when both sides are being honest, relationships that work at distance don't necessarily work IRL. It's hard to deeply know someone through the internet, even with VR; and in this sort of situation we tend to fill the gaps with idealised crap, instead of reality. Then as you meet the person IRL you discover that they aren't anything remotely similar to what you hoped for.

What I have to say is anecdotal evidence.

I met my wife in an mmo and the first 2 years of our relationship were online. After 3 years I moved to live near her. We have been together for about 18 or 19 years now so if you actually communicate it can work.

Yup, with a LD relationship like that, you have to fill in a lot of blanks about someone that you can't determine - how are they in the morning? Do they pick up after themselves? Do they have any gross habits? There's tonnes of little things that are entirely irrelevant in a remote setting but can really make a difference in person.

And naturally when you fill in those blanks, you tend to only fill them in with positives or you just don't think about all those little things.

Every woman has a boyfriend.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Maybe she's poly, who knows.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe she was just cheating on her boyfriend over the Internet, who knows.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe she was a dog. Who knows.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago

Maybe it's maybelline

It's not poly if you don't communicate that you're poly with the people you're saying.

Wish them all the best.
