      Rachel has been struggling with addiction and poverty for a long time, and there are quite a few harassers around here that love to bully her and some (probably more common) people who see the sympathy posts as enabling addiction or inappropriate for the site or whatever.

      Rachel has also been very open about her experiences for a long time here, so the never-do-wells have quite a bit of fodder for their Two Minutes Hate. It's easy for some people to get off to cyberbullying a poor, dope-addicted trans woman who airs her own faults and vulnerabilities a lot.

        or maybe cause people are frustrated she's siphoning hundreds of dollars out of this community and shaming and shitting on anyone who's like "maybe this isn't healthy"

            Yo, maybe I'm speaking for myself here, but I just don't think that many people are logging into this website with the intention of entering into some sort of anonymized mutual aid pact where they have some sort of comradely obligation to support you financially.

            I'm not saying this to shame you, but like, you might need to reframe your expectations, especially given your subsequent thread where you're saying shit like:

            "You’ve at least made me aware that this is my last chance, and if I have issues again I have nobody to turn to for help."

            "By doing what you say you’re doing out of “concern” for people who could in theory give their money to someone more deserving, you’re basically telling me I should die."

            IMO, that doesn't seem like a particularly healthy or realistic perspective.

        Do people give her shit when she isn't asking for money? This particular time sounds like it was because of the last two posts she made about it. Some people sound irritated, others confused and many sound bored enough to make sockpuppet accounts to give hate.

        Btw I'm asking because I don't know and I can be completely wrong.

        I know who Rachel is from the sub and all, I was just wondering about the downbears and all. She is very open about her experiences and that, if you don't want to give a person money no one is forcing it. I don't understand why people go out of their way to hate on a person.
