Community Munchausen's by Internet (Malingerers, Munchies, Spoonies, etc) - Feigning Illnesses for Attention

This is the attention munchies want. It's disgusting that they want to take away from people who have real serious illnesses or are terminal.

Angie/Skagra deleted again, this time because too many Tumblr kids have figured out her game. I'm talking dozens of call-outs. She'll undoubtedly return but there are higher numbers of people to shut it down each time. Fantastic.

Man, managed to beat my firewall into submission. To celebrate my return, I proffer Molly, a rather fucked in the head girl, whose sole purpose in life is to obsess about obtaining and then blogging about having an ostomy. Why would she get a thing you ask? The best anyone can determine is that at some point she has runner's colitis.

But even if she did, and that did warrant an ostomy, her behavior around having an ostomy is... well, pretty revolting. I'm not going to post the most egregious pics here, but if you want to know what a fresh ostomy hole looks like, go check out Molly's instagram page! Or if you want to see an ostomy bag full of human feces, you can check there too.

Have some milksome posts about a.) Molly being psychotically proud of having an ostomy bag and a few very small operation scars, and b.) Molly managing to get EMS to respond and take her to the ER for, of all things, fucking saline.

Ostomy bags and feeding tubes are high fashion in the munchie world these days. Everybody wants one. They want the fast train to the worst case scenario for pity points. When it's not fake that means they doctor shopped and faked symptoms until some doctor decided they needed to bring out the big guns.

I begged for a feeding tube a few years ago because of gastroparesis being so severe I could barely eat. I was told it was the worst possible thing they could do to me and I absolutely did not want one. These medical devices aren't fun. They force you to change your whole lifestyle.

My grandmother had a neighbor who's ostomy bag burst open while she was shopping. Now she was in her 80s and this was some time ago. But imagine how much worse it is socially for a young person. Yes they make them better now. But accidents do happen and equipment can be defective. Why on Earth would you want to do this to yourself if you didn't have to?

This Molly seems to have a weird fixation on her bag. I'm all for taking the stigma away. But she's damn near orgasmic about it and does the same attention whoring pics thing that is so typical of munchies. Maybe she has something wrong and maybe she doctor shopped or even hurt herself somehow to make the situation dire enough. If she doesn't really need it then it's a slap in the face to people who do. It's not a fashion statement.

:horrifying::horrifying::horrifying::horrifying:

In cases like this, I wonder if there's a sexual element to it in addition to the MP disorder, something similar to abasiophilia, where people are sexually to amputees and strap up their limbs once a fortnight to join their local support group. Yes, they're thrilled at the attention they get, but most importantly, they're surrounded by concentrated masturbation fuel.

I would expect to see a lot more men being munchies if this was the case, but they are almost always female.

While men can get sucked into bizarre body part fetishes due to their sex drive, women seem to get sucked into bizarre munchie stuff for complex twisted emotional /psychological /attention seeking reasons.

I think the type of medical equipment sexual fetish that exisist is what you have in a novel/movie like Crash which verges on bondage/S&M kink gear, not feeding tubes, IVs and poop bags.

The thing with fetishists is that there is nothing in the world that someone's not attracted to. I've no doubt that there's microbiologists who think that e.coli is sexy or tradies whose idea of fap fuel is a floor tile catalog. It's a well documented phenomenon that women express behaviours different to men; take serial killers and rapes, for instance. Male killers tend to be violent while women are usually much more subtle, murdering one by one quietly, people they know well. Someone with M is already a hardcore attention addict, so displaying their kinks to the world is inevitable.

How to tell if an ostomy bag is fake: Ask them to take a picture of the hole hidden behind the bag. Wait for the excuses to fly or to see something photoshopped or stolen.

She made her page only viewable for Tumblr users and now is writing stuff like this.

If being a munchie has any sexual component then it should be able to be found online, somewhere, even in just weird munchie fanfic if nothing else.

Serial killer oT

Spoiler

Female serial killers are absurdly exceedingly rare compared to male ones. The original FBI profile program did even bother with women profiles because it was such an insignificantly statistical number. Women, when they do become serial killers, it’s usually people close to them (husbands, children, family members) or people that are victimizing them. Plenty of women do commit murder, but very rarely meet the criteria for a serial killer. Aileen Wurnos gets so much attention because she was such a unicorn.

I see very few men doing this. And the fetish stuff usually attracts tons of men. There still might be a sexual element to it for some of these women. But I think it's mainly attention. It's not just the equipment. There's plenty of weird craft stuff for equipment cozies. I saw some lady on Tumblr with her IV pole all decked out in fabric and bling. What the hell? It's the same with canes. You get a Walmart cane and some of that fancy glitter tape and now it's a fashion accessory.

By the way, an orthopedic surgeon told me to never use a cane past the point of actually needing it. Because it creates a dependency and your leg won't strengthen right.

I think it's easier for women to play the sympathy card for illness. People feel more sorry for you.

What a weird take.

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

What a weird take.

She already looked like a scammer before and now she's saying she doesn't want to show up on a video which would show proof of her claims. What a great way to disprove naysayers.

 

[Um Oh Ah Yeah]

I think there's a possibility that, to these women, the attention they get for being sick replaces (or even serves as) sexual gratification. They probably aren't masturbating to it, but it tickles some sort of pleasure center.

It definitely is fulfilling some psychological need and hitting pleasure buttons in the process.

If she can raise those severely disabled arms to take a selfie, beg for donations, and edit documents as 'proof', she can make a video. She just knows which buttons to press to make a couple of doubters feel guilty for asking someone to perform their disability. She knows the lingo.

She said she was interested in doing Swagbucks two or three years ago but now that's out of the question too. Only other people's money.

With the amount of money she has gotten from people, she's a very good con artist and knows what to say to get the money. Although funny she said there was 45 minutes left to get money or else she'd die and now it's been a couple of days since then. Hm.
I think she's disabled but I don't think she's as severely bedbound as she claims. Especially since she lives alone.

"This is a LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION. My LIFE ITSELF is at stake. If the funds aren’t raised, my care could be cut. I could be made HOMELESS and FORCED TO THE STREETS after 14 days. I DESPERATELY need your help RIGHT NOW.
ONLY 30 MINUTES LEFT."

Oh noes.

 

[ethanoate]

She shouldn't be living in nice hotels if money and care are such big issues. She especially shouldn't be getting Tumblr to pay the bills for her choices.

They've got some interest posts about Skagra/Angi.




For someone who claims to be helpless and bedbound and unable to move, Skagra sure is good at reblogging her own post to argue with people who don't believe her stories. She can't move but she can fight with strangers on Tumblr all the time to prove they're wrong when they say she's scamming. And I don't believe there's people constantly typing her defenses for her 24/7.
She obviously can get around.

Apparently she can use her hands, so...

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

Welp. I can believe that she's unable to walk but she clearly can move around, leave the house, and most likely get around in a wheelchair.
TBH I'm kind of surprised this person doesn't have their own thread.
