Lol they're too busy clutching their pearls over someone posting CA's insta picture that has her mom in it. As if they need an excuse to clutch their pearls...

IFAftermath is even worse. They’re clutching their pearls that IF still refer to kittenbread as “she” when she uses “they”.

Jesus Christ kill yourselves.

When a munchie dies, do they all step up their game like this to see who takes the crown next or is there some weird planetary alignment with their assholes (front or butt)? It seems like they're all in a frenzy right now.
Kelly has stepped up her game, but I can't tell if it's because they're weaning her off pain meds or she is picking for more attention... or both. She's back at her legs again.

I think they’re almost definitely auditioning to be the next Queen of Toobs.

The Adolphus Chronicles (new favorite) outright said in a video that she had gone from a weekly to almost-daily vlogger “since Chronically Jaquie died.”

It’s beautiful.

Isn't she such a wonderful specimen? I honestly thought she was a troll at first.

...I don't think that's how it works?

She’s AMAZING. I must’ve watched over a dozen of her videos the day you (our munchie-hunting queen) introduced her; I couldn’t look away.

The way her whole demeanor lights up whenever she discusses her toys and her repeated admissions of diagnosis-hunting and doctor shopping is just delicious.

I am purely baffled by how many munchies there are... At what point did it become cool to be sick?

(yeah, taking photos with your mobility aids isn't new either)

It comes and goes throughout history, but social media has definitely spread the trend far beyond what ever existed before. It's a social contagion. They see all the attention and praise and sympathy someone else is getting for being sick, that they don't have to work/go to school/grow up because they're too fragile and delicate, that no one bullies them, that they have instant oppression olympics points ("I'm disabled!"), and they want it too.

But people were reporting illness scammers in forums from the late 1990s, people who told radically unbelievable stories like having a stroke mid-chat and created sockpuppets claiming to be family members to validate the claims, bored housewives making up dying teenagers... Insta and youtube just put a cute, disney princess face to it.

Is the use of feeding ports something that's increased recently? Why are these young non-comatose munchies getting ports instead of just an IV? Also is MMJ medical marijuana?
Click to expand...

Because ports are more special.

They argue that it's because the need daily saline infusions/IV drugs/banana bags, whatever, and that daily peripheral ivs will ruin their veins. But really it's because its a Rare n' Shiny Thing that says they're really really sick.

And yes, MMJ is medical marijuana and feeding tubes are another Rare n' Shiny Thing they all want.

One of Ren’s earlier pictures on IG is portrait shots of her and her fiancée. She hasn’t posted about him since that I’m aware of. Does anyone know if they broke up? Wouldn’t be surprised.

I guess I find MMJ to be pretty harmless in the grand scheme. I think it might be good for them to chill out but not on fentynal.

Pfft I have no problem with MMJ, or recreational for that matter. Weed for all, everyone chill the fuck out and let's order a pizza. I was just saying that MMJ does indeed stand for medical marijuana.

I know it has been an ongoing problem, even munchausens by proxy, I do also agree it's the social media that has cased it to become more widespread or atleast more visable. Still it's crazy. Definately a mental issue. I very much enjoy reading about how stupid the claims are with some of these munchies. Very entertaining from a medical standpoint.
