and you're a gullible idiot if all you need for proof is something to sound bad enough and new and different enough that you'll feel guilty for not believing it, which is how successful scams work, dipshit.
asking for critical thinking =/= shitty behavior.
wanting proof before throwing your money away also =/= shitty behavior.
but you know what is shitty? begging money and expecting people to take you at face value just because it sounds bad without offering transparency or proof. trying to guilt other people into abandoning the sense they were born with in the name of not being a shitty person. (again, how successful scams work, by preying on sentiment.)
if it's legit, then somebody ought to be able to cough up credible proof that can be verified. there is nothing heartless about wanting to be sure money you donate is going to what you think it's going to and not somebody's con trip, drug habit, or whatever the fuck else they might spend it on if they're lying to you.
people like you are exactly why con artists exist in the first place.
nobody is saying you have to believe and donate holy shit
they're saying dropping this on wankgate is a shitty thing to do and not really comparable to dropping someone for asking for money to allow them to not work or fly their cat to australia or whatever else people are up to these days
i didn't bring it to wg, dipshit. i made one comment asking how people knew it was legit. one anon flipped their shit about how monstrous it is to have a modicum of common sense rather than swallow unverified sob stories hook, line, and sinker and the rest of you jumped on it like stink on shit to prove your moral superiority. don't be fucking obtuse.
you can keep shouting all your defensive bullshit into the void, but you just look like an even bigger asshole doing it. if you don't think it's legit (though you have no evidence that it isn't), then mute it and shut the fuck up.
you are so fucking invested in being an sjw it's embarrassing. i'm not ever going to shut the fuck up when it comes to telling people to use their god damned brains. anybody remember lyme chick and the asspain of all the shlups who donated without getting all the deets?
if it hurts your butt that somebody isn't as bleeding heart weh weh as you and you want to fucking try to tone police on wankgate, then keep right on fucking that chicken, sweetheart. it only makes you look like an idiot.
who the fuck is we? only one person in this thread has said they know the person in question. everyone else just handflapped about how this one sounds different so it must be true. hdu question it! u monstaarr!
i never said anyone said i had to believe it or donate, dumbass. i told people to check deets before throwing their money away. the issue i addressed, the ONLY fucking issue i addressed, was verify it and don't let some bleeding heart fool turn your brain off with their ~judgment~ that you might be a big mean poopie head for asking questions instead of taking a lemming dive off a cliff headfirst. or do, if you want to be the next fool crying because some asshole took the money you donated and bought a bunch of icons and paid accounts with the money they suddenly ~tee hee~ found. then i'll laugh at your stupid ass the same way i did the lyme fools.
otoh you're the one looking like a huge massive asshole because there are deets out there that all point to this being 1. real and 2. legit.
so basically you're a dickwad who doesn't want a old couple on pension and can't afford a trip by themselves to see their son for the last time before he kicks the bucket.
you can doubt and refuse to donate, but when you publicly make yourself an asshole doing it, don't be surprised when people call you out.
then where are the deets, oh superior one? because in reading this thread NO ONE confirmed there was legitimate proof that this was real until AFTER they reamed the ayrt for asking people to use their damn head. which makes me think you were all waiting here with bated breath and when it was confirmed to be true, you all rushed in here like screeching idiots to shove it in ayrt's face.
but fuck it, i'm with them. everyone who donates to a cause without seeing the proof first is a fool. nothing they said negates their point because none of you told them there was actual proof until halfway through this thread.
i'm not posting deets because it is incredibly personal information you idiot. but knowing the person asking for donations, unless they have been setting up this scam for years, i don't doubt them. she's talked about her brother's cancer for literally years and was really super happy when they thought they beat it. it's not like she's done this before or has a habit of begging money off of people only to turn around and spend it on herself either.
you can doubt and not donate, that's fine. but publicly calling her a scam artist or a con person and saying that she'll run off with the money when they're going through a personal tragedy and crisis with a family member dying is incredibly tasteless. because if it is real - and it is, whether you believe it or not - you and the other anon come off as huge, insensitive assholes.
point me to the post where i said your friend is definitely a scam artist. go ahead. i'm waiting for that exact quote. you seem sure it's here so it shouldn't take you long to find it.
if you look at when all of this shit started going down in this thread you will see that nobody said a fucking thing about deets at the time i said people ought to be asking for them before jumping off the deep end just because it sounded sad and different, so it ~must be true~.
every single shitheel that has jumped into this has just screeched how horrible it is to even ~question~ when it's just so sad! which as i said before and will say again is exactly the lack of reasoning that makes scams successful.
how you jump from get your facts straight before you donate to i don't want pensioners to see their dying kid is a leap of illogic i can only assume comes from the same brain damaged place that leads people to donate without knowing any facts at all.
my only real takeaway from this at this point is there are a whole lot of idiots just waiting for a well phrased sob story to part them from their money who will try to bully and browbeat anybody who dares to question the veracity of the story or get actual details into either shutting up or donating anyway. in other words, gofundme, here i come! and wg, thanks for alerting me to this windfall of dumb asses. i never would have considered it without you.
