I signed up to reply to this thread - I read here and imagine my surprise at stumbling across someone that I know. I don't know her in a 'we are friends' way, I know her in a' see her in public frequently' way. I had no idea she was internet famous and would never have guessed why she was.
Because she acts perfectly normal in public and is self sufficient. I see her on the bus frequently, she takes it all by herself with absolutely no issues. I also see her out and about around town, walking by herself.
I guess it's really easy to give a completely wrong impression of yourself online on purpose because in a lot of ways she is nothing like what the internet says she's like (most of the misinformation comes directly from her).
Her looks: she's really short with (likely intentionally) terrible posture. She's probably 5 foot 1 inch. Which leads to my next point - she's actually not that fat. At her height she probably weighs 225 pounds. She pulls her head down to emphasize her double chin and lack of neck. She's got uncomfortably large breasts (like, watermelon sized) and never wears a bra so the combination of short, moderately heavy, enormous braless breasts and terrible posture makes her look 400 pounds online. She most assuredly is not. Her mobility is not impaired in the least.
I mentioned her bralessness because it's uncomfortable to notice notice her because of it. She intentionally wears (brand new, niche 'gender is fluid' etc) tshirts that are too short for her due to her chest size. I say intentionally because they are obviously new and unisex- she could have bought a larger size but seems to like making people uncomfortable with the breasts. I can't state more clearly how shocking they are.
Her facial hair and expressions - if I didn't know better I would say she combs it to fluff it out. It's very fluffy and long. To put the breasts in perspective, you don't notice the full mustache and beard first. She has a completely blank expression but will meet your eye.
There is absolutely ZERO hand flapping or weird articulations. When you take the bus here you get familiar with how stressed out schizophrenics act very quickly along with all the other mental illnesses that tend to need medication or monitoring. She gets on the bus with no help of a mobility device, calmly picks a seat near the mid-front and calmly rides wherever she needs to get. Most of the mentally ill people riding the bus spend most of their time being visibly anxious about missing their stop, she's fine.
I don't know much about the day to day life of having feeding tubes and a catheter but last time I saw her, her stomach looked fine in the, admittedly brief, glimpse i had when her too short tshirt rode up when she got up to exit the bus.
I have never seen her with any other person, I would have assumed she needed a helper based on reading about her. I can't stress enough that she doesn't act anything like I saw in those videos from her. She seems like any other unfortunately unattractive low intellect person. This is craziness, have none of the people who are currently friends with her called her out on her internet persona?
