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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You’ve described the situation in Africa, funny enough. It’s relatively rare in war-torn regions to actually purchase clothing due to the endless ambient supply. Relatedly, it’s common, given the obesity epidemic in the US, for clothing to be a few sizes too large. Clothing trade has been severely impacted by steady demand and infinite supply.
I considered purchasing skins when it first became on option but quickly realized that I just could not care a single iota less about my appearance past its utilitarian qualities.
I wear camouflage when it makes me more difficult to see in a shooter. I wear bright colors in platformers to track my movement more easily. I put on a skirt and cat ears when I’m looking to find people without sticks up their asses. I’d never pay for it, though. Buying skins seems childish and impulsive to me.
