don’t want to sound rude and get crucified by enraged tumblr mob for being a “bigot” (jk I’ll get blackmailed anyways I’m a woman Internet hates women) but every time I get “help my family in Gaza” inboxes I’m getting really, really suspicious about the increasing amounts of accounts with similar requests, nicknames and the tendency for spamming. idk how to look at this critically, but I’m not sure if people in Gaza even bother tagging me personally on tumblr in their situation. needed to say this, sorry.

#I don’t have money anyways so I feel more free to speak out.#aaaand my country doesn’t have paypal which makes me even more relieved when I’m not sharing these inboxes with anyone else.#I miss internet époque when we could trust “calls for help and not confuse them with fraud #too bad I guess the Internet was NEVER free of fraud.#how did we came to the point of ‘I’d better not help rather than occasionally give my money to someone else’#humanity.#always impresses but mostly dissapoints me #btw how are we getting guilttripped into thinking we’re bad for not donating every last kopeck to random internet accounts like #scam charities are getting out of hand.#it’s honestly sad.#like everything. both world situations and scammers gaining money from them.#free gaza #free palestine #palestine fundraiser #gaza fundraiser #<— target audience #idk???#donation scams #gaza scam
