Yes, this! I commented on it in another thread, but I've had fandom friends die and it's very real and very hard. This woman sounds like a serious piece of work.

Sounds like she is an obsessive fan and a compulsive liar. Sad, really.
That, and she fake suicided one of her made up people. I don't know the nature of that particular character, but if I found out one of my online buddies killed him or herself, I'd be devastated. That is so fucked up.
The twin-stories are fucked up too. I wish Jezebel had dug a little more and found out the truth about how many kids she has, and reached out to her sister for a comment. If she lied about her sister expecting twins and losing one of them, then something is profoundly wrong with her
That's what I was thinking. Especially since she's now denying the XOJane comments even though she owned the tumblr about it. Seems like she's a pathological liar. Also, he can prove that he lost some sales since two of his fan clubs turned or shutdown.
Are you aware that literally thousands of meteorites hit the earth every single day? That fact kind of undermines your point, doesn't it?
Nope. My fiance feels pressure to be a big manly family earner from his macho family members, not me. I am going to be a surgeon and our family won't even need a second income. We've talked, though, and he'll end up taking whatever career he likes best rather than one that earns more than me, because our happiness is…
So true. I don't know why men get crap for going into "good" jobs that allow for some balance in life, which tend to be traditionally female occupations. Women don't face the same level of judgment in that regard (and I say this as a women who works in a sausage-fest industry), although they do face other hurdles. I'm…
No women don't.
Thirded.
I think this is an appropriate image.
I just want to point out that this finding in no way diminishes the fact that women are bombarded with stimulus designed to make them self-conscious about myriad facets of their lives. It is a huge problem. The conclusion here expands that notion to include men. We all, as consumers are the victims here. Women have it…
I love how people think it's news that men have feelings just like women concerning things that aren't part of a genetic underpinning but of a nurturing of visual perfection on both ends of the gender spectrum. I guess women grow up thinking they're the only ones going through hell trying to look visually attractive.…
As a dude, I can confirm money is THE biggest pressure we face. Looks don't matter — gay or straight, we can find mates if we're nice and funny and confident. Even ugly dudes can get with the partner of their preferred gender if they approach it the right way. But we're always feeling pressured about how much we make…
What I would like to know how the statistics breakdown when you only count tithing members of a particular church. Those are the real members.
As a man, fuck the MRAs. I don't need angry misogynists speaking for me, I can stand up for my own issues just fine, and if I need help I'm certainly not going to turn to those whose reaction to their own insecurities is to place the blame on women.
SeaWorld says that staffers quickly gave the girl medical care and that she was fine, going on to visit other parts of the park.
A wild animal was provoked by an annoying kid and showed aggression? I can't believe it.
What's your point? This study isn't saying that there are no benefits to breast feeding. It's saying that the benefits to kids are probably highly confounded by socioeconomic status and genetics and probably a few other factors. To clarify: women of high socioeconomic status are more likely to breastfeed. High SES is…
