I wasn't going to say anything about this but then on January 20, 2023 I found out what was being said and got mad. Please see this screenshot of my original DW post where there are comments from other people vouching for what I have said.
For the record: I never asked Spiced for money. While we were friends, she donated to me on Ko-fi out of the blue, twice. I thanked her for it, and I was surprised she did it, it was not something I expected.
People who'd been on my Dreamwidth, including my roommate, can vouch for the fact that I am very, very weird and proud about money, sometimes to my detriment. While I had a link to my Ko-fi in the sidebar of my journal** and once a year I posted a "if you want to do something for my birthday/the holidays" list that includes throwing a few bucks at my Ko-fi if you want to, that's about the extent of it. In fact, friends have offered to throw me money here and there and I've told them "you don't have to". I won't say no if someone just up and sends a donation, I'm not too proud to refuse it and immediately send it back, but I am too proud to ask people to do it even when I need it. [it's not that I think asking for donations is bad, it's because I've been poor-shamed enough to get self-conscious about asking for things.]
**I deleted my Ko-fi account in November 2024 after I found out I'd been doxxed.
Of all the lies she's spread about me, this one is particularly egregious, to claim I "scammed" her for money. This is someone who has spent literally thousands of dollars on art commissions and can afford to go on holiday and writes her OC drinking champagne riding around in a Bentley, and I'm over here on a fixed income and have been poor enough to, at times, live on rice and beans [I bought a commission once when I had a little extra money from a rental credit in 2019; the reason why I once had a paid account and extra icons is because people have sent me DW points, extra icons and paid time, sometimes for my birthday/holidays, sometimes if I was having a bad day to cheer me up, sometimes to say thank you for the icons I made on @fancylittleboxes before I shut it down, but that's not why I make icons, it's not something I expect people to do]. Her acting like sending me two not-huge donations unasked for out of the blue severely inconvenienced her is some shit.
But, there's a sort of classism I've noticed in the SWG, like Dawn calling AO3 "the Walmart of fanfiction", and now this with lying about how the poor disabled person is a "scammer".
I'm not going to address the other shit that's been said that I haven't addressed because it should be pretty obvious if you know me that it's bullshit and this is coming from someone who has a history of abusive behavior and lying. This, though, is absolutely disgusting, and stigmatizes poor people and disabled people even further.
