Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

My wife and I got scammed like that years ago. We met on Omegle back when it was new and then got married nearly a decade later. Fucking internet scams...
Wait, you saying your marriage is a sham?
No they got scammed into getting married but that dont make it a sham
Playing the long con
One of us is gonna win eventually
Ah, the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels play!
This is the same rationalisation the gambling industry used.
And then the gaming industry.
And we know from those instances they're often not morons, they have mental health issues, or are exceedingly lonely. And they often don't have the money to spare either, those dollars are food being taken out of their or their family's mouths.
But feel free to tell yourself whatever robin hood bullshit you need to if it helps you sleep at night.
Seriously what kinda person feels good scamming anyone, some people need more shame
Well they've since deleted their comments, so hopefully a twinge of shame was felt.
You don't need to have a partner to have a family ...
Say more?
Don't try and make out that this is some sexist thing, you and tumblr OP are both trying to justify scamming people who you think are bad or stupid. This is the justification that every scammer uses, from the Indian call centres who install malware on old people's computers (because they are rich and they deserve to be scammed) to the full-on sociopaths who set up pyramid schemes (they deserve it because they're stupid enough to trust me!)
How can they be sexist when their comment makes absolutely no difference between the sexes?
They don't even mention male or female.
Sounds like you are just projecting.
Girlboss, slay.
To the people criticizing her: yeah sure it's bad, but then, why are the top comments defending the OP? Surely OP is doing the same thing right? Right? Oh but he's a man doing it to women...
