Gather round, instead of a strictly chronological take, I thought it might be fun to do this one kind of in the order that we found the pieces of this puzzle, since my frens and I went into it thinking she was the Sydney that fought with Anelise but then realized that Sydney has a different surname and we now had to archive TWO people in a hurry before they DFEd. Since I'd already mentioned Sydney White, she was the priority archive and obviously this was a good choice since she wiped nearly everything off her account and locked down within hours of getting mentioned. This one is either cocky or hasn't arisen from her painkiller nap yet because all her accounts are up. Let's go.
First, the redditard comes to the attention of IllnessFakers for complaining that she was posted on one of the stalking subs and that's why she has a new name. The illnessfakers crew tries to figure out who she is and one person says she was posted to munchsnark but immediately DFEd with no archive because munchsnarkers are incompetent as all fuck. This got bounced over to a group chat I'm in for collaborating on timelines, where we tried to figure out who she was.
On one of her first posts on an Animal Crossing, we learn her name is Rowen and she's 22 and female.
Ironically, I found this pseudonym
after having already found out from this text message conversation with her mother that her name was actually Sydney, which is what led to us speculating she was the other Sydney and got me digging through that girl's accounts. The first thing we did was look through photo posts for a face, therefore ran across the name Sydney before tracking back to the beginning of the account for text posts and finding Rowen.
She likes to talk about her health constantly, derailing posts or using her sob story to try to get freebies from other Animal Crossing players. Claiming hEDS only at this point, and that she's essentially bedbound.
Stupid slapfight, her comeback is "I am a leech on society byeee!"
She has been studying ASL
Our munch goes up to 11. THE SUICIDE DISEASE!!!!! MOST PAINFUL DISEASE EVER!!!!!!!!! Also, every bone in her body dislocates and it's more painful than end-stage cancer! Actually AMPS is your brain misinterpreting pain signals much like fibro and the only reliable treatments are CBT and PT/OT to teach your brain it's not dying. And that's
if she actually had it. It's a dumpster fire for people who claim excruciating pain but have no signs of an underlying condition, and while it's common in young high-strung people, especially women, it's also easy as fuck to fake. Given what we later learn about her I am okay with the idea that she got diagnosed but chimped when told it didn't get her toys and drugs and did not do anything to help herself.
After this she stops posting on Animal Crossing and starts hanging out almost exclusively on AskReddit where she takes any opportunity to make a thread about her eternal suffering.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH what?? No the brain is not made of collagen, it's made up of grey matter which is neuronal cell bodies and white matter which is the axons transmitting signals between them. The white color is from myelin sheaths surrounding them. The only type of EDS associated with cognitive impairment is spEDS and in that case the impairment is caused by a congenital structural defect of development, not gloopy brain syndrome.
here we find she has a man-slave to take care of her while working full time.
Yeah, fuck off Karen!
OP is asking what motivates people to get through life. Sydney suicide baits in the comments.
Here we go. Mommy is a meanie poopoo doodiehead who doesn't believe her fake illnesses, stole her money, and made her try to get an actual career. Been suicidal since she was 12. Also admits her man-slave cheats on her haha wonder why. This whole post is basically "tell me you have BPD without telling me you have BPD." I think my favorite part is where she claims her tibias are
permanently dislocated.
Claims daddy was a kiddie-diddler who published porn of her and stalked her, and that she's happy he's suffering with the same illnesses she has. Note, this is her biological father. She's adopted and that's actually verifiably true. I don't necessarily believe the kiddie porn story but there's some real evidence her bio parents were not great people and she probably did experience some bad shit. We'll get there in due time.
Munchie dislocations are special and don't act like normal dislocations. She can do all sorts of things while her joints are displaced. Doesn't explain why she's bedbound by dislocations if she has the non-dislocating kind.
Sydney has been getting called out for having Munchausen or hypochondria since she was a kid, now adding "drug seeker" to her list. Also she cuts herself and is just
pretending to be retarded.
Stop calling people with disabilities "disableds" and "cripples." That's all.
Yeah you're proof there's no god but not for the reasons you think lmao
seriously she has totally stopped posting on other subs and now exclusively posts about her health and how she's lapping up doing nothing productive with her life on Askreddit.
Claims her boyfriend doesn't know she has an expiration date
she found out boy was cheating on her by snooping through his phone and then he showered her with gifts to appease her
admitting that she only went to the police about her "abuse" after her brother made her MAD MAD MAD over a mean comment.
her stories about her family are fuckin wild man
Wow so she got to quit all her responsibilities and lay around playing video games and bying lolita dresses with taxpayer money. What a life!
And she's a K-pop stan with multiple BTS tattoos.
Oh you're sick and had to give up your career? I AM MUCH SICKER THAN YOU AND CAN NEVER EVER WORK
Oh boy what a ride! she was SEVERELY asthmatic but survived despite no medications. Doctors call her dramatic and tell her she has munchausen or is a hypochondriac all the time, and call her out for being a drug-seeker. The nurses cry because the doctors are so so cruel and she's so young and so sick. She's had multiple pointless surgeries despite every doctor allegedly blowing her off. She's ready to end it all because they won't give her narcotics and tell her she's special.
now claiming she's lost her health insurance because she moved in with her boyfriend who is AirForce/military police or maybe it's that she can never get married because she'll lose her benefits. Which is funny because if she marries him she'll get TriCare prime and be able to get all the crap she dreams of.
...I'm not even disabled and I'm offended by this bitch
Gosh, she's so much better than those people who
got fucking shot because she never screamed from the pain she doesn't have.
Even more permanent dislocations join the gang, including her ankles. This will be extra funny soon.
Guy asks how to get a job that doesn't make him want to neck himself. she responds that she didn't have to because she decided to fake sick instead
DID YOU KNOW I'M DISABLED?
No muscle tone in her legs. Keep a pin in this one too.
Wants to be a model. In case you hadn't noticed most of the time she's not answering the questions, she's just finding ways to insert herself and her """disabilities""" into the conversation
She likes the sauce (don't we all?)
On a post where OP is asking what to do about finding a hidden camera in their rental unit.
She has the kind of autism where it doesn't affect her unless she wants to be an asshole and get away with it
I have a bunch of nerd tattoos and ALSO I'M IN A WHEELCHAIR. I have a boyfriend anD I'M IN A WHEELCHAIR.
Tics
"Mute is a slur" says the woman who has called herself a cripple dozens of times in a few weeks of posting
Should have been in AFOs her whole life. Another one to just tuck into the back of your brain for a sec.
Holy fuck what a wretched human she is
People want to know why she cant work
Did you know she's physically ill, disabled, bedbound, and won't live past 48?
Here we go: she drops the name of her tellonym and instagram accounts. Alas, the insta is just reposts of her tellonym and responses. Here's the full dump, I'm not going through all of them and commenting individually. It's worth a skim though, since it's pretty much all munchies complaining that their families don't believe them, people question them on the internet, their doctors won't just shove a tube in their stomach, even going so far as to admit they use mobility aids they don't need because they like the attention. Gosh it's almost like we're right and this is a trend perpetuated by young girls hungry for social media clout.
Two things I will pull out are this one where a chick straight up admits she faked POTS to get a port and infusions for attention, after Sydney spends many posts saying people aren't faking shit for attention.
But the most fun one is where she gave away her personal sicksta. YEEHAW FELLAS.
Her sicksta is short and mostly just proves she's not disabled
at all. The first pic is her standing leaning back with her feet not square under her despite her permanently displaced ankles, tibias, and shoulders.
The second is her in a wheelchair that doesn't fit her and using the seatbelt like a nerd. Or as my friend who answers my "why does this wheelchair look fucking stupid?" questions said, "some very tall man would like to know where his wheelchair's gone." Also, thinks it's a good thing that her only identity is "sick chick."
So one thing we noticed is she likes to used britbong spellings and slang ('feeling poorly") to sound more posh. Rest assured, she's all-american white trash.
Getting an infusion, doesn't specify what but we know it's saltwater, and an IUD placement.
So now's a good time to explain one of the red herrings that threw me and my faithful research assistants off. In the initial pass of her Reddit account we found this photo of a skelly doing a
very tight king pigeon pose, with text insinuating this is her. We then compared it with other Sydney's body and thought she was a decent enough match given potential filters and weight fluctuations from her ED/drug addiction.
The only other photos of her are this animal crossing tattoo which looks like it's on a flab arm but could also be her trying to become queen of the Animal Crossing subreddit to win free shit by stealing photos of someone else's godawful tattoo...
Also these heavily filtered face pictures that bore a superficial resemblance on my first pass because I'm absolutely retarded with facial recognition and no one should ever let me do this again. There was some discussion that the cheeks on the redditor's face were much chubbier than that of the 'grammer but no one knew if that was an artifact of whatever filter she was using or a few weeks on pred or something.
Anyway, the point is
this Sydney is chonky, and now she has a port for her life-saving saltwater infusions.
EDS is so quirky guys! #tpn #feedingtube #cysticfibrosis. CYSTIC FUCKING FIBROSIS.
At the start of this account she was living in Albuquerque as far as I can tell. Now she lives in Maryland, per the gofundme scam she's about to run. The day before she moves she decided to have one last BPD freakout for the neighbors, by swallowing "4 or 5 bottles" of pills. Her oxygen dropped to 30. Thirty. Three, zero. Before coof blew everyone's minds with the "happy hypoxia," the only people known to survive at ~50 were researchers who climbed Everest without oxygen, no fucking joke. 30 is totally incompatible with life. Your brain dies.
Steadily gaining weight, don't pity me but i'm going to bring up my health at every opportunity.
People who live a productive healthy life are so weird amirite?
Again she repeats she can't walk without dislocating her ankles and tibias but omg guys she's not your inspiration porn
Admitting she loves being a sad bbygrl who cuts herself beautifully and sadly and being sick is part of this aesthetic. BPD says what?
HAHAHAHAHAHAH how are those dislocating ankles and tibias doin'? Why did you need AFOs again? Jesu cristo, squatting in stripper stilettos. Actual
classic. And those legs look like they have fine muscle tone to be able to do this too! What a miracle!
This all brings us to her most recent antics where she is claiming to have been raped and pimping out a gofundme for medical expenses. Not medical expenses associated with the rape, since people pointed out the ER can't refuse to treat her because of her insurance status. Nope, she claims she got raped therefore gib money for other things unrelated to rape. Really. That's her story. At best it's using a truly horrific life event for profit, at worst she's lying about a truly horrific life event to scam people, and I'm leaning towards that one.
The GoFundMe gives us the full name Sydney Saylor. And since we already know she uses the name Rowen online, from here we find her Facebook.
This appears to be an account she only made after moving, but there's some interesting early history to be found nonetheless. Not that one can't lie on facebook but this lines up with her reddit posts
This school is registered to a private home address in Huntington Beach, CA. In California, homeschooling families need to set themselves up as a private school, ostensibly to keep shit kosher, but we all know how that works out, see also: the
Turpin case and
Marcus Wesson. I bring this up only since it does verify one of her claims. She says she was homeschooled and also did some kind of homeschool co-op classes. I'd question if she even went here or just posted a random homeschool she knew of in her area, but her brother also has this school on his FB.
Another interesting point is this brief conversation with a woman named Arla Ann McLaren. Arla is Sydney's maternal grandmother and mentions that she doesn't know where her daughter is and her last known location was Concord, CA. This suggest drugs and/or homelessness, meaning the stories of her fucked up early childhood may not be totally bullshit, although I think she's heavily exaggerated them like everything else.
So to review: her bio parents are truly fucked up in some capacity. Her adoptive parents are conservative christians but they're otherwise normal and, unlike what she suggests, have not been arrested for the terrible abuse she went through. Also she only secured her man-slave in February 2020, right before lockdowns, like she said.
Thanks to her relentlessly doxing herself, we can find her family and therefore pics of her pre-transition. Her adoptive father Kirk is a ReMax agent in with an active license. And he took her to baseball games as a teenager. His wife Sheila also has an account but it's never used for public posts.
Here's her extremely obviously closet homosexual brother Luke, just like she said. Luke likes interior decoration, his family, and Jesus.
Luke posted some pics of her with the family in 2019, which is right before she bolted to go live with some dude in New Mexico. She's healthy and looks happy.
Here's proof it's her. Like I said, I'm face-retarded and no one should ever trust me to do this so I did get an outside opinion on whether this was the same unfortunately haircutted human.
Here they are on holidays!
Here they are exploring a national park on a short vacation!
Here they are in Hawaii! They flew first class and stayed at the Koloa Landing Resort, which costs somewhere north of $500 a night.
What a nice family outing for ice cream. What was that about never being allowed to have anything but health food?
Here they are camping in Clemente Beach!
Here's Sydney's 18th birthday where they booked her a limo and went to the US Bank building's observation deck, SkySpace!
Here they are at legoland!
Oh look, Luke even doxed their church for me. Surprise: it's not some deep dark cult but a bog-standard nondenom Christian megachurch in Los Alamitos. Not saying megachurches don't suck but it's not like she was in The Family International.
They sure did travel a lot!
Anyway the point is, she grew up in a wealthy and tight-knit but conservative Christian family and this was a teenage rebellion she took too far. There's absolutely no mention of her being a "child actress" or doing anything but sitting around their house being fugly.
Back to her facebook, though. She doesn't post much different than she does on Reddit or Insta. Lots of look-at-me tragic tales of abyoos and her terrible health problems punctuated by godawful photos and supporting other munchies. One interesting thing is that she starts claiming vEDS and this is where she gets the "I will die at 48" shit. Ignore that she has 0 of the outward signs of it, the "dead at 48" is if she wasn't treated and her aorta exploded. it's not a progressive illness. they just... kaboom. If you know you have it and are at risk of aortic dissection they will fix that shit before it blows.
Another wheelchair shot, where it still is fitted for someone much taller than her and her seatbelt is now trapped under her rollz
"Apparently this is cripple friendly." Dude go fuck yourself.
That about covers the socials. Let's head back over to reddit to see what bullshit she's been anonymously spewing into AskReddit threads. Wow, I would like $3000 a month to do nothing!
Someone asked what disability people would choose to have if they had to have one. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Based. Her mom called her out for attention-seeking faux suicide attempts the same time her doctors refused to give her a custom wheelchair. The background here is she promised to watch her siblings so her mom could get a haircut and she "forgot" after confirming earlier in the day that she would be home and instead ran to the doctor for nonsense. Here her TERRIBLE ABUSIVE MOM says things like "drink water because you are dehydrated" and "If you drink some water like the doctor said you will stop passing out" and "why haven't you tried drinking water yet?" and "Clean your fucking pigsty."
After this she tried to unalive herself by taking a bunch of pills and ended up in psych for 12 days. Her mom took her to church afterwards for some prayer healing things like megachurches do. After this she claims her body
repressed all her symptoms out of a "flight or fight" response and she was able to get a job and live up to her expectations, a TRUE MIRACLE! Then her mom finds out she's been using her phone that mom pays for to send nudes to some dude she met on the internet and selfishly made Sydney
pay her own phone bill. Sydney threatened to leave and mom tried to call her bluff, but Sydney left. The family, worried, finds out she's moving to New Mexico to be with this internet man and try to talk her out of it even going as far as to hire a professional to talk to her. I'm sure
mcdonaldspaid her under the table! That's definitely something they'd risk! Her parents wouldn't send her money to play house in New Mexico but did offer to pay for a ticket home. How terrible! Then she ditched the dude who took her in and shacked up with her current man-slave to assume her final form: a useless sack of flesh. Okay let's pretend that's true. In that case, what she's saying is she moved out to go live with a man she wasn't married to against the wishes of her very Christian family, that they seem to have had serious concerns about this man and what he might do to her, and her issue is they wouldn't give her money and tried to talk her into coming home. Is it overbearing? Yes. Is she being an entitled brat who thinks mommy and daddy should keep paying her bills while she goes against everything they believe in? Also yes. BTW she copy-pastes this story over and over again whenever anyone takes the bait and asks her to elaborate on why her family is BAD!!!!
Her parents were very abusive because they wouldn't let her stuff herself to morbid obesity on cheap sugary crap and sit around playing vidya all day.
Here's a list of her health complaints. I love that she has all these serious illnesses including a potential brain tumor and then
astigmatism.
Yes she really claims all three variants of EDS with a straight face
Insinuating her bio dad is in jail for kiddyporning her
Bitch you got adopted at 4. By your teenage years you were expected to do chores, help watch your siblings, and help with your ailing grandmother. Some teenagers have to leave school and get jobs to support their families you stupid entitled brat.
Man-slave works and takes care of her down to washing her hair. Meanwhile she naps, plays vidya, watches TV, and reads all day, constantly reminding him that her diseases are progressive (they aren't) and she will die young (probably, but not from that). Of course she doesn't want to get better. Her life is nothing but laying in bed doing the things she enjoys and being waited on, punctuated by getting tons of attention and asspats from strangers.
and she gives him the silent treatment and claims she's too ouchy for physical contact.
Doesn't think she's emotionally unstable. I do! Also goes non-verbal and signs or writes. That's not how that works.
Family compared her to a rapist. More likely she had temper tantrums well beyond childhood and they said she had her father's temper, or she was doing reckless shit they compared to him, etc.
She's NOT FAKING, YOU MEAN DOCTORS! Give free toys and drugs!!!
Doesn't use her wheelchair inside because carpet. Now claiming narcolepsy and her man-slave literally has to carry her around even tough she's always in the most pain ever and can't stand to be touched
Hahaha i kind of love her family now? Man the "crack whore with a baby" comment makes me really think she was scraping the bottom of the barrel with that dude she left with
pot/kettle
Her shoulder dislocated and they wouldn't even give her salt water for it! She relocated her own arm with no pain meds (lol) but then they blessedly gave her a magic narcotic. Oh glorious day! What euphoria she felt! But now she is running low and wants MORE! GIVE MORE!!!!
Don't worry, one day she will doctor shop enough and get her blessed narcotics back.
Person abusing substance to numb herself criticizes others for using substance to numb themselves
Just from her mom's texts it sounds like what she got diagnosed with at 17 was POTS, common in teenage girls, and was told to drink water to help with symptoms until she grew out of it. Admitting she goes to the ER trying to score narcotics all the time
Here she's admitting that she was 'hiding the fact that she was disabled" when she met her current man-slave and then immediately moved in and munched out. STill telling dumb lies.
Hmm. Still sounds like she had a teenage rebellion and her parents cracked down because she lived at home and they're conservative christians.
Updated diagnosis list. The possible brain tumor is now upgraded to definite cyst.
"he puts shit up high like tf I can climb." With permanently dislocated shoulders, ankles, fingers, and tibias, a fainting disease, a brain cyst affecting her balance, while being in a wheelchair 24/7 and needing to be carried around
Docs still won't give her narcotics.
That brings us up to now when she claims the rape story because gibs. Normally I refrain from questioning rape stories because it just doesn't sit right with me, but she's claimed at least three different scenarios wherein she was raped: her dad when she was a kid, her ex-boyfriend before the current man-slave, and whoever this mystery man was. It's always something she claims because she stands to gain something from it. Most recently the grift but also she uses these stories to win arguments, make her adoptive mom sounds like a monster, and derail threads so she can copy-paste her long autobiography of suffering to a new audience.
On an off-topic I see this sepsis_wurmple account posting all over my favorite drama-watching areas and the name always tickles me. If that's one of you guys I think I legally owe you a beer or something.
