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

Sub drama/mod departure explanation under spoiler because i know it's a load of no1curr:

Sadie contacted Jessi (DnD) to tell her how to potentiate opiates months ago. Jessi threatened to release the DMs and Sadie told everyone she had only sent her harm reduction shit and that Jessi was slandering her and she was considering legal action. Then she lost her shit at anyone who criticized her and then deleted the post and lied about it. Then when the SSs actually came out it was not at all what she said. Someone who has more experience with this explained exactly how dangerous the advice she gave out was and that is when opinions flipped. I was the one who spoke up only because I was offline for most of it and came back once everything had been exposed. By the time I called her out none of them were still on her side but because they had defended her when they didn't have the evidence, they felt like anything they posted would come off as a disingenuous attempt to save face instead of an "oh shit i got played."

My theory w/r/t Sadie is she actually managed to get hEDS, fibro, depression, and anxiety dx's based on them being "dumpster fire" diagnoses and used them as a cover for her painkiller and benzo addictions. I will say her dog is from a reputable org that requires proof of your claimed disabilities and does not accept anxiety as a reason you need a dog with you, and she's working closely with a well-regarded professional trainer from that organization. Some moron kept talking about her having zebra print pillows but they're just black and white striped shams that came in a room in a bag kit with the damask curtains. That set or one nearly identical was super popular a few years ago from one of those companies like Delia's that sold kits to de-institutionalize your dorm room. (Not white knighting, just couldn't help but laugh that this asshat kept screeching about the pillows)

Then an hour after Sadie finally stepped down the new TOS was announced and we decided to back up the sub content before it got deleted which apparently some people think is just a cover story. There were rumors of a second ban wave that was going to hit 72 hours after the first and we wanted shit backed up before then. Reddit TOS now bans anyone based on identity or perceived identity so even if they're faking disabled and you have all the proof in the world, you're not allowed to mock them for being exceptional because they are perceived as being disabled.

MITH left the sub and came back repeatedly in an extremely dramatic style. After the most recent departure no one begged her to come back and when she returned a few weeks later no one fell at her feet and told her she was wonderful. She threw a tantrum and was told to fuck off. No drama, just Karen.

OrangeQuokka hasn't really been around in months. We made decisions without her because waiting on her input would mean nothing ever got done. She only showed up to do boomer humor shit the rest of us ignored. When the munchpool was found she let me take the blame then deleted her account without ever even acknowledging me. I didn't even know it existed and find it super cringey although morally I don't really care if people want to speculate on the deaths of people who are committing slow public suicide. But she made so many comments like "oh man wouldn't it be funny if we made a sub to run death pools on the munchies?!" and no one ever knew which of them she went through with and which of them were just her being weird and (literally) autistic.

Some of the rest had personal reasons for leaving - one had a death in the family a few days before the Sadie thing and stepped down to grieve, one is a mod of another sub and didn't want her account deleted, I had IRL issues including fleeing Florida because plague and my computer shitting the bed (and also got sick of people DMing me to be very grossly over-sexual or to blog about their mommy issues - these people are fucking damaged man.) Others stuck around to help people migrate to the new site. My entire account along with the rest of the sub was archived before it was nuked and will be back online in some format although not sure what yet. Until then everything was also put through the wayback machine and we have a google spreadsheet of all the original urls. Clunky but it works.

A lot of the people currently shitting on me were people who got way too fangirly or tried to be my white knight and got mad when i rejected them. Others are people who over-blogged about weird shit and got mocked for it. Like Quilt, who is the embodiment of your mom's facebook account. Rambling and blogging about nothing, thinking everyone cared about her opinion on every topic, fuckin weird conspiracy theories, and if anyone tried to explain to her that she was getting mocked because people found her annoying she'd be in my DMs tattling on other posters for being mean.

Most of the outrage just seems like virtue signaling by people who got caught posting on a meany poo poo head subreddit. The one who said I publicly and privately harassed her is someone who posted on another sub about how she would never participate in a sub like this because ew fuck terfs, but then continued to post anyway. All I did was copy-paste her own comment back at her. :story:

And I would like to never speak of this again. As penance for being exceptional, here is some Hospital Princess. Denied a bone marrow transplant, her osteoporosis from fucking with her TPN for years and being on steroids made her bones dissolve, and she seems to be preparing for a cancer saga.

Pbbt, of course she's 'working' a fucking pyramid scheme.
 
It's a mac so I'm anticipating the repair will force me to sell one of those kids the Redditors swear I have. It's really nice of them to let me know I have children I can sell on the black market in my time of need.

Can't blame you, I mean Wayfair just had that big sale on kids.

Anyone know if Morgan's tried to fake covid yet?
 
IFGW would bite the dust just as eds-athlete got a timeline posted on them. I had been lurking for ages to see that happen and am really curious about who she pissed off or what she did that resulted in her becoming a subject on a sub she shit up with her blogging.
IFGW was never going to survive the Reddit Kristallnacht since the mods are racist TERF ableist bullies. How can Alice be racist, anyway? She’s Hispanic.

Many people for various reasons. Blogging, bad information, gross tmi stories, depressing the shit out of everyone with pics/stories about her dead kittens, constantly doing something totally cringe like trying to befriend Amanda/Ren and then doing a bizarre callout in her insta stories that was both boring and impossible to follow. I think the proverbial last straw was her attempt to start an AMA about being a "disabled strongman." Imgur deleted half of that timeline and a bunch of others that had been posted recently like my.patronus.is.a.zebra. Sub had to die. It got entirely too easy for munchies and their wks to get content taken down.

Alice is not hispanic but is a member of so many other minority groups (including racial) that under any other circumstances the same people would be treating her as completely beyond criticism and reassuring her that she is valid.

My bad, one of the commenters said she was Hispanic.
IF is just fucking painful, some stupid munchie bitch is whining about her turrible case of dysautonomic goosebumps (looool) and there’s another munchie bitch in the comments whining in response about how her POTS is much more turrible.

I'm pretty sure if being a munchie had a handbook, this would be in it .."Don't y'all just hate when you spend so much time doctor hopping, and none of them tell you what you want to hear??"

Maybe if 9 out of 10 doctors say that... then they have a fucking point? The 1 out of 10 is probably a careless pill pusher who wants to milk your insurance. Slam an energy drink, take a couple Advil and go to fucking work.

This is maybe far afield and off-topic but the mentality in this reminded me of stuff I had seen earlier about WNBA player Elena Delle Donne where she's saying this same kind of thing about her "chronic Lyme disease" and league doctors refusing to believe her and so on...

For reference and since I know some here would love to see the "64 pills per day" mentioned:

Those are herbal supplements, Karen.
Probably. Very clever to turn all the pills in a way where the only pill you can see the identifiable imprint on is the Doxycycline Hyclate (and just barely, I may be wrong considering how blurry it is), no nosey nancies can go and fact check if it's just a handful of the same pills (obviously no daily dose will ever be a goddamn handful). Because there's nothing like over-exaggerating daily medication intake to get the social media sympathies.

she's saying this same kind of thing about her "chronic Lyme disease" and league doctors refusing to believe her and so on...

Maybe because the disease can be diagnosed with a blood test, not exactly an "oh just take my word for it" diagnosis.
