Did you know that the bathtub was first marketed in north america as a horse trough and dog scalder?

I am a bot. (Info / Contact)

This is definitely the fakest shit I've ever read

Isn't the username of op literally fake?

lol an entire community rused

Lmao I thought it was gonna be fake in Russian or something

look at the update- it seems pretty legit.

I read the whole thing and it seemed fake as fuck from the initial conflict to the fake ending "ohh nooo those poor dumb russian girls are ignoring our sage advice and are gonna get raped 4ever" to their sudden change of mind in three hours and immediately turning into a happy ending by instead going to some random user's house.

lol @ the fact that the other user is more trustworthy than that contact too just because he posts in metafilter. would be a pretty smart way to get two personal russian sex slaves online.

dunno- it'd take a lot of time to put together something so convoluted. The fact that there was a webpage for the lounge that eventually redirected to a Russian event in the US is suspicious too.

One creepy thing is how invested everyone was in this situation. Jesus, people were saying about how they were about to cry after they learned the girls had gone to NYC, the OP puked after the girls "revealed" they had done a 180 heel turn and decided to come back...

One creepy thing is how invested everyone was in this situation.

That's just standard e-detective fare tho.

it all smells like bullshit tbh.

idk, it just doesn't seem like a ruse. The OP was a longtime contributor to metafilter who'd already made some contacts there, posted his picture, etc.; it'd take a ridiculous amount of effort to not only fabricate the website and story but to rope to slavic-looking teens and a middle-aged woman in NYC into going along with the prank and either lying about living in Wyoming way before the sex trafficking post or actually flying out to meet the actors he somehow managed to convince to help him play a prank about sex trafficking.

either way, we can all agree that everyone who commented on that post is pathetic

REEEEEEEing over the fact that some people on the internet had empathy like normal human beings is pathetic.

I am, again, literally in tears. I mean there are tears pouring down my cheeks right now. Fake, you're a hero. Pollomacho, you're a hero. MeFites, y'all are accomplices to heroism.

.

I'm actually in tears.

.

through some sappy tears, I say thank you.

.

Practically in tears over here....SO happy to hear it and happy for you and them.

REEEEing @ the fact that you think these people aren't overly emotionally invested in a fake internet scenario is pathetic

Internet shutins need to fake human contact somehow bro

if it was fake it was reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelly well done. i distinctly remember F5ing that thread the whole day when it happened. it was back before metafilter became the total shithole it is today (though it was definitely trending that way and i stopped reading it shortly thereafter).

This is exactly what the Russian mob does. They use a fake job offer or some other excuse to get a girl to go to a foreign country and then she's stuck there with them.

I saw that 60 minutes special too.

Those dicks arent going to suck themselves.

If Steve Bannon would just teach us his yoga we could do it ourselves.

Steve Bannon is one of the greatest men in history. A true prophet of Americanism. You could never hope to aspire to his level. Plus, your dick is too small.

suck your own dick yoga

You gotta orientalize that shit - aatm mukhiya yoga is gonna be big.

When I have a studio in every city that matters I promise to come here and mock all the poors here just like Notch.

That was a roller-coaster

What

Goddam white knights putting the cockblock on my Russian ho's.

Holy shit, this is some serious internet archaeology. I remember reading that when it happened.

someone from /r/unresolvedmysteries mentioned it. there's a lot of good links to drama there because a lot of the userbase came from different websites. i wonder how much stuff there is on metafilter that none of us know about

Off the top of my head there's this and Kaycee "I am totes dying pls gib sheckels" Nicole getting uncovered. The rest of the Metafilter drama is just standard SJW takeover REEEEEEEEEEEing as they drive out everyone right of Pol Pot.

wait, munchie kaycee was on metafilter? she died recently

Debbie Swenson died? I'm talking about this Kaycee https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaycee_Nicole

Oh, I was thinking of Kadee Konstantino, who was also a notorious munchie who recently OD'd. You should make this its own post

munchie

Urbandictionary is failing me.

"well known in the chronic illness community on instagram" - oh god no.

chronic illness community on instagram

the internet was a mistake

it's someone who has munchausen syndrome, which is when you're compelled to fake or exaggerate illnesses for attention. a lot of the time they go to extreme lengths to make others believe that they're sick. the girl who OD'd was a particularly bad one, including among other things pretending to have a terminal case of anorexia when she was actually morbidly obese.

btw i put the metafilter link in /r/internetcollection, thanks mang
