E-begging has got so bad you can do stuff like filter out every possible related term to it on the likes of X and Tumblr and still feel bombarded.The ones that get me are the ones I used to see on tumblr a lot that were like "Donate to a queer autistic girl" "Donate to a black transwoman".
Not for anything specific like medical bills or vet bills or homelessness, just because. Usually accompanied by a lot of guilt tripping.
Why should I? If I thought someone was genuinely in need of financial help I could give, their identity is irrelevant, but just existing as you are doesn't automatically make you entitled to other people's money.
Unless there is proof of the story like, say, someone raising funds because there's been a house fire or actual medical bills for something lifesaving, why countless people rush to donate to anyone with a begging bowl out mystifies me. One born every minute, I guess.
