Anyone who got a chuckle from this, it's an excerpt from the Fur Trapper Saga, a series of fictional letters of advertisement for competing fur trapping businesses. Every one of the letters is hilarious, and they become more unhinged as PB Fouke and JF Swanton start really responding to each other's claims. Highly recommend for anyone wanting some of that 2007-style forum humor.

Dude! I just picked a new avatar 2 hours ago from that screen! And now you post it here.
The chance for that was so incredibly low!
I checked back with this comment, and it's changed for me now. He's in a slightly different position than in the image I linked.
Was it Guybrush, or one of the other pirates?
The green one!? Can't you see my avatar pic?
Shows up as a chibi anime girl for me. Maybe it takes a while to show up on all the different instances.
That was the one from before. It's probably cached on your device until you reboot it or the app.
A ... a Deepwater what now?
The other two are at least parseable as ... actually describing an actually existing kind of person, albeit using ... less than appropriate terminology.

Oh. Ohhhkay then.
Thanks 4chan, that's enough internet for me for now, jfc.
For context, this paragraph is lifted from SomethingAwful's Fur Trapper Saga, a series of fictional advertisements put out by two fictional fur trappers, who are competing in business.
While one of the trappers, PB Fouke, tries to sell his business on dedication, JF Swanton sells his furs on the promise that he is so cruel of course he's going to have the best furs.
Doesn't make it less offensive, but the point being that it was written in character as a fur trapper from the 1800s who regarded himself as much more cruel than all else.
