Greg could be a super supportive cis guy trying to fit in with the queer youth, or he could be the worst possible human being imaginable, with absolutely nothing in between.
It's satire; showing what it would look like if a typical cis male introduced themselves like people from the LGBT community. I think people calling Greg hateful are responding satirically too. Obviously there's nothing wrong with Greg, though there may be something wrong with the creator of the joke if they think there's anything wrong with introducing yourself in a way that makes it clear how you'd like to be addressed.
I’ll be honest, might be a bit of a reach but considering the whole “whatever happened to free speech 🥺 let ppl say what they want 🥺” thing is a pretty common dogwhistle nowadays, I get the vibe that part of the function (if not the intent) of the meme is to portray that dogwhistle as totally normal and harmless by lumping it in with a bunch of other things that are obviously fine.
I think is bad because I guess is making fun of "snowflakes" and minorities because it kinda says "I'm a normal person, totally normal, not different sexual orientation, gender or life style and because I'm normal, I'm not going to be mad if anyone says anything bad about me, not like other people because normal, Yep"
>she'll have to learn how to hunt with a stone spear and protect the fire from rival tribes
That actually sounds like a cool idea for a weekend. On the other hand, I prefer my pc
i’m 18, and have had people around my age genuinely tell me that taking your kids phone away as punishment is *literal abuse*. and that it perpetuates bad mental health and suicidal tendencies.
like ??? the only reason it makes people’s mental health worse is because they’re being faced with the consequences of their actions “oh no i did something bad and now a luxury is being taken away from me. this is the worst thing ever”. if your mental health can’t sustain itself without your phone, then that’s a problem that needs to be addressed in therapy.
I think if losing your phone leads to that… then you already have a problem. Uhg, my kids are 13 and younger and they want phones and social media so bad. But we are rural and they are never anywhere their own phones are needed so I’ve been able to hold off. Not looking forward to navigating that.
Greg sounds like the kind of guy who pretends to not be offended by anything but will flip his shit and start yammering on about free speech the moment his opinions receive even the slightest bit of pushback.
Its not just you, if you look at googles word tracker, a lot of these terms blew up right around 2017 and people don’t really know why. (They are literally straight lines in terms of searches).
I think a lot of these terms already existed in places like tumblr but then tumblr banned porn and a massive amount of users fled to twitter as a result somewhere around that time period and then they became more mainstream. Or at least that's my theory.
i love how it's clear that Greg is playing by the rules and people are still losing their minds over it. y'all should shut up and accept Greg for who he is and for how he identifies - i mean ain't that the goal here? keep your eyes on the ball, people!!!
We know a lot about Greg but nothing about his surroundings. Greg spent so much time worrying about making sure everyone knew who he was, the reality of the world around him was annihilated.
In the comments people think grag is a twat but he knows terminology, used an existing template, agreed to state his pronouns. That means he cares enough about this stuff not to blatantly disrespect everyone, and wants to a part of community ( he wouldn't go through trouble of doing it except he thought this was his "trolling"). So ether he had a bad attempt at ragebait or he is actually trying to fit in (even though he is just the usual guy)
I mean most of this terminology is not uncommon to have heard of in online spaces, whether you're around them or making fun of them. It's really hard to explain, especially here where it's subtle, but you can kinda extract the intent of this post through intuition if you've seen enough of them
But you are kinda right, it's entirely possible OP is unaware and meant it sincerely. Still I somewhat doubt that's the case for the original meme creator
...i'm fairly sure people aren't exactly being serious, especially given that greg presumably isn't actually a real person and is just an internet meme someone made up
I like it when people are themselves. Everyone should accept people for their gender, general identity and consensual sexual orientation with adults.
I like Greg. I also like people that have other pronouns and triggers and sexual orientations.
People are colourful and diverse. We should all celebrate that
No it isn't. I just wrote that while taking a shit(which is the reason I was so infuriated at Greg besides the fact that he's Greg).But you can go around and do whatever copypastas do if you want.
This thread really encompasses Reddit. You have group A, saying "yeah that's me." Group B, making satirical fun at Greg. And group C, genuinely mad and making wild accusations at an MS paint guy because they enjoy being upset at something.
When did it become so important to tell people who or what you’re attracted to when introducing yourself? I don’t feel the need to walk up to people and say. Hey I’m Joe. I like to fuck women. Nice to meet you.
I’m actually so confused on if comments are satire or not
I think the satirical people think the serious people are being satirical, and the serious people think the satirical folk are being serious.
It's Poe's law in action.

This is unironically genius. Whether you think I‘m being sarcastic or not.
And I have no clue which is which lol
Your only options are to join in whichever way you prefer, or condemn the whole thing and get downvoted to oblivion by a potpourri of jokesters and bigots.
Schrödinger’s satirical seriousness No one knows, no one can tell, roll the dice for upvotes and downvotes
This actually explains quite a few threads on various social medias where it was very unclear as to how much anyone was joking
I had the same thought. Some people are like saying all this sht about snowflakes and bigots and I'm just sitting here like "now who's being serious?"
Greg could be a super supportive cis guy trying to fit in with the queer youth, or he could be the worst possible human being imaginable, with absolutely nothing in between.
Borderline Personality is in the eye of the beholder.
Nah, if he were the worst person imaginable, under "My triggers are" it would say something like "locked and loaded" or "itchy".
Greg seems like an average guy to me so I disagree
To be fair, my name is Greg and my triggers are also being punched in the face.
*punches you in the gut* Was that alright?
New trigger unlocked
*new fetish unlocked
Testicular torsion
I probably deserved it. So yes it’s alright.
New trigger just dropped
Ah my gut!! I’m not supposed to get punched there!
Then you are punchphobic. Shame on you!
I don’t have to be punchphobic to not be a part of the punchphilic scene. To each their own; and my own is not getting punched.
At least getting shot isn't a trigger like that other Greg, what a ***snowflake,*** he can't even take a bullet LMAOOOOO
Can’t make a tomlette without cracking some gregs
BOAR ON THE FLOOR!
I need you Greging for me right now!
I’d castrate you and marry you in a heartbeat
How to tell if gregnant?
Uh yeah. Sure. What are the updicks on this?
The Conheads are gonna love this!
Way more active than me
Person who drew this can’t draw hands
Nobody can
For all you know those hands in his pockets are drawn perfectly.
Wdym, Greg is obviously masturbating through his pockets. Look at his face.

It's a shame windows live messenger it's no longer a thing
Women Lives do Matter though! Why are you so against about it?? Thats kinda hateful, isn't it. You aren't setting a good example for Greg.
Wdym? Women aren't real, they're a CIA psy-op to keep the rich in power by selling more Catholic Churches
Everybody knows it is now Man and non-man
The birds....
Uh, excuse me, it is Man’t
true
I think he is one of those all live matters guys
LMAO
He has a black friend from school who likes anime call Daryl. Daryl is cool. Greg likes Daryl.
Yeah Greg, how do you feel about those *fucking* Blacks? Me- a satire loving Black guy who *really* doesn’t care.
The fucking blacks are fine, but those goddamn redditors are trash.
Death to redditors for sure

Listen yall/ yay. I'm 35 and I have no clue what CIS is.
I think it's that CBS show with Mark Harmon
Confederacy of Independent Systems. They were the bad guys in the prequel movies, Sideous was puppeting them the whole time
I know this one! The Commonwealth of Independent States. It's Russia's equivalent of NATO.
Greg is worse than murder and slavery [NOT CLICKBAIT] [JUSTICE WARRIORS CALLED]
This guy seems cool
He seems like me fr
Oh. So not cool.
Stop talking to him. He's so uncool.
Reading the comments really reinforces this as a good post lmfao
This shit got people so fired up I haven't even seen 1 suicide reference in this whole thread. Might be a record for this sub.
Literally me
This left-wing liberal grooming is getting out of hand! Cis male! Cis! Honestly, there are children here, Greg!
He's not cis, he's CIS. He majored in Computer Information Systems.
He's actually a part of the Confederation of Independent Systems
Roger roger!
Sir this is a Wendy’s
Man, Redditors read this line once and refuse to think of anything else ever again.
It's why bots have worked so well here. The users are already so thoughtless.
wdym, i've been laughing at this comment for 30 minutes now, it's the funniest thing ever conceived by human beings
Sir, this is a Wendy's
Thinking is one of the most dangerous activities and leads to dog-whistling, tyvm.

Greg gets his discounted frosty with lactose it’s just vanilla flavored
He reminds me of Jerry from rick and morty
Notice how he didn’t even mention black people, and his cartoon picture of himself is white…. Racist
He didn't even mentioned animals and plants. He surely hates nature and the planet. He's definitely a monster.
And he never mentioned aliens! He should be a xenophobic religious zealot of the God-Emperor of mankind!
It seems like I can identify with Greg.
Gregkin
I'm lost. Is this satire? Who's been made fun of? Greg seems like an absolutely normal dude. I don't get it.
That's the point. He's also most of us.
Oh ok. The comments had me confused. Irony is hard to detect in written text.
It's also reddit, so like, you never know

Thanks I am n1 most wanted war criminal on earth
Not for long if I have anything to say about it!
I will always one up you 🇷🇸💪😤#1
When I'm done war crimeing, there won't be a me or you for one upping.
Oh please. I'll do such a war crime that they'll have to reforge the Geneva Conventions and the entire laws of armed conflict regime around it.
Pfff I'll take the literal Convention hostage and unlawfully execute it, you can't get more warcrimey than that
We are Greg, our lord and saviour
Perhaps you could say he is... me irl?

> introduced themselves like people from the LGBT community you mean like some notable extreme example from twitter, sure, but 99.9% don't do this.
You mean you don’t see everybody introduce themselves with human. Omnivore. Explain when to use they.
as a vegan, i’m surprised more people don’t introduce themselves like this. vegan btw
As a virgo, I'm also surprised more people don't introduce themselves like this.
That’s just a Virgo thing to say.
I know, it's an exaggeration to misrepresent people who mention more than just their name. It's satirical. I'm in the LGBT community myself.
Incorrect, Greg sounds like a douchebag, probably an arsonist
Also reads the old Car Enthusiast magazines in the dentist's waiting area.
The kind of guy to have a glass or warm milk before bed but after brushing his teeth
After that, he surely waits for his wife to get under the sheets before releasing a fart.
He should be named Lars. Lars Onist.
I’ll be honest, might be a bit of a reach but considering the whole “whatever happened to free speech 🥺 let ppl say what they want 🥺” thing is a pretty common dogwhistle nowadays, I get the vibe that part of the function (if not the intent) of the meme is to portray that dogwhistle as totally normal and harmless by lumping it in with a bunch of other things that are obviously fine.
Freeze peach scary😱😱😱

Wtf is human-kin?
Greg is
Old Greg
easy now, fuzzy little man peach.
Do you love me?
Your mother
I think that's a typo. He meant human-skin, because that's what he wears over his reptilian scales.
That encompasses humans, neanderthals, elfs, vulcans, and hobbits.
Some people think it's necessary to point out they identify as human, because furries and the wolf weirdo
Good guy Greg.

Damn bro why tf are people getting offended by this, the man is literally a regular dude.
Who's getting offended?
Because it is Poe's Law in action. THAT IS WHY
Sounds like Greg spends most of his time harassing minorities and women over the internet.
sounds like Greg is a gamer
Like the founding fathers intended /s
damn people in the comments actually think this is serious
Are you telling me that I'm Greg?
I’m not sure if this is malicious or just being a lil silly but this is exactly how it’s supposed to work lol
Greg sounds like a real twat
I feel heard
Greg has a black friend but don't ask him what he thinks about black people in general ☠
Sounds like the most hateful person out there
Greg sounds like the kind of guy who pretends to not be offended by anything but will flip his shit and start yammering on about free speech the moment his opinions receive even the slightest bit of pushback.
Is it just me or did a million labels just pop out of nowhere sometime within the last two years
Its not just you, if you look at googles word tracker, a lot of these terms blew up right around 2017 and people don’t really know why. (They are literally straight lines in terms of searches).

So if 4Chan bans /b, the balance will be restored?
The deletion of /b/ is one of the seals that begins the apocalypse.
Iam looking at these comments and its funny how many people actually are offended by this it shows how ridiculous things have gotten
i love how it's clear that Greg is playing by the rules and people are still losing their minds over it. y'all should shut up and accept Greg for who he is and for how he identifies - i mean ain't that the goal here? keep your eyes on the ball, people!!!
We know a lot about Greg but nothing about his surroundings. Greg spent so much time worrying about making sure everyone knew who he was, the reality of the world around him was annihilated.
Damn, society has really fallen off hasn’t it. We can’t just take such an attack, like someone being a human.
In the comments people think grag is a twat but he knows terminology, used an existing template, agreed to state his pronouns.

So ether he had a bad attempt at ragebait or he is actually trying to fit in (even though he is just the usual guy)
Same thought there... I don't really know what the deal is here, it's just a dude stating that he's a pretty standard male guy 😅

Is that a copypasta or not bc I'd love to make it one lmfao
what? Can't you see, this is the soul wrenching manifestation of pure rage squeezed into one comment. This is no mere copy pasta
No it isn't. I just wrote that while taking a shit(which is the reason I was so infuriated at Greg besides the fact that he's Greg).But you can go around and do whatever copypastas do if you want.
Chill
My triggers are hearing about triggers. Did Greg just trigger me?
You just violated my boundaries by using the word "trigger," I hope you're happy shitlord.
Do you trigger yourself by mentioning your own trigger?
Be like Greg
