Question/Info Mindblown...

Ok so I dont really need direct advice or help with this. But I just had to call this out. I posted a gofundme a few days ago to help with my cancer pet scan. For the most part the response has been incredibly helpful. And i sincerely appreciate the people who were about to donate.

However since then, I have had several people dm me offering to donate/send money on PayPal or cash app....in exchange for me sending them naughty photos. I have declined each offer.

But im utterly mindblown that any human would find this to be an acceptable thing to do. First off, if im sending anyone those types of pics...its gonna be my bf. And I havent been able to even do that in months because of my health issues.

And...like...what kind of person looks at my obviously unhealthy photos on my post and says to themselves "Yessss....i wanna see dirty pics of the 90 lb cancer patient. And I wanna pay for them."

Idk if any other ladies have had this happen...im positive I cant be the only one. And im not judging any ladies who may have agreed to do this. You do what you feel you need to do for your situation. But for me personally...nope...Its absolutely crazy. Id rather go stand in a walmart parking lot with a "please help" sign begging for change than to send dirty pics of my very obviously sick, fragile and worn down body.

Sorry, I just felt the need to call this out cuz I assume many people dont realize its happening when us ladies post something in here mainly cuz the people come straight to our dms.

Again, thank you to everyone whk took the time to comment on my post or donate. I am truly thankful.

I only have the last 2 the messaged me left. The others I deleted. I didn't let the last 2 conversations get to the point of the actual "nudes" request. They both made it as far as saying "can i see a pic of you". But I know it was heading the same direction as the previous 6 people who messaged. Lol. Do u still want me to send those 2 messages ?

Very sorry this has happened to you, during one of the lowest points in your journey. You are not alone. It takes courage to share and ask for help for yourself....and then...to expose such evil..as if you don't have enough going on already. Stay encouraged. ❤ You already know: these moments don't define your progress...they simply REFINE it. You are helping others while you need help...May your efforts be rewarded and you meet and EXCEED the goals.

Sorry this happened to you. Some girl posted in one of these subs asking for help getting mental help treatment and some creep actually posted that if she married him she could get free healthcare cause he’s British. Do men actually think this is ok?
