Wow. This is a big one.

So City_Glitter's cat is badly burned by some asshole. She posts about it in her journal:

http://www.livejournal.com/users/city_glitter/844427.html

It turns out that her cat will live though the vet bills will be high. So apparently one of her friends, Manhattan, kindly suggested setting up a paypal for donations.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/manhattan/1140641.html

The Vet bills were said to be around $5,000 but within a few days, enough generous people contributed to cover the costs. (Note, I don't know how much of the $5k she needed but her post mentions that enough had been raised.)

But not everyone is buying the story. Foxfur makes a skeptical post:

http://www.livejournal.com/users/foxfur/116753.html

I'm sure we can imagine how that went over.

But it turns out Foxfur may have been right to suspect.

Today City_Glitter posts that her cat was never burned and it was all an experiment to restore her father's faith in humanity.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/city_glitter/847289.html

Needless to say, a lot of people are very unhappy.

[eta] She makes another post saying that she expected everyone to believe Foxfur.

To be honest, I expected everyone to go read that post and to believe her. All of her evidence is well-thought-out, well-researched, and makes perfect sense. Furthermore, it took a great deal of courage for her to report the wrong of something she considered a close friend had done. I didn't expect for anyone not to believe her, and certainly didn't expect anyone to rip into her, flame her, and make her life Hell about it.

Sooo...this glitter creature has such boundless optimism and faith in human beings that, to win an argument with her father, she will bilk people out of their money and then carefully and in great detail, tell them exactly how their trust has been abused. To prove how GOOD people are. Because she loves them all so and wants them to love each other.

Okay!

And this was supposed to... restore her father's faith in humanity? Or anyone's, for that matter? The only thing such an "experiment" proves is that there are no depths to which some people will not stoop to put one over on others. Especially when money is involved.

FWIW, I saw a link to the original request on my flist and was immediately suspicious. Something about the phrase "cat on fire" seemed a little... extreme.

god. I just read the entire "apology" post and 4 pages of comments; then went to foxfur's LJ where she first raised concerns.

not only did this asshole (city_glitter) hurt people, and possibly ruin future needed fundraising in communities... but entire friendships are destroyed. because some people trusted and believed a friend they'd known for years and others were (reluctantly) cynical and group A turned on group B for disbelief...

it's not funny. it was sickening. and my heart breaks for the people caught in the crossfire: those questioning and those believing both.

I have nothing funny to say. But thanks for the update Lu.

I'm putting on my moral outrage hat and sending a couple of bucks to the ASPCA.

It's tax decuctible and I'll know the money is being used to help animals in need.

When I first heard about this, I felt sorry for that poor cat. Now I think city_glitter is a jackass for making up a story like that AND scamming money off people.

Meanwhile, there's probably a million cats out there in real trouble no one's donating 5 grand to.

Ho. Ly. Crap.

I don't remember how I found her original post a couple days back (through StupidPetOwners? *shrug*), but it raised a wee warning flag because there were no pictures of the cat. IME, people post pictures when begging asking for money cuz, ya know, pity and stuff.

But I figured she just didn't have a digital camera. Cuz, I mean, what kind of inhuman asshole would post something like that and be LYING?!

...

Apparently, that kind. WTF.

I know this girl, she's been on my friendlist for awhile and I used to RP with her on Damn Ninja MUX. She's a complete nutjob, and she's got Anjimito hero worship going on, always trying to kiss her ass. X( She did this because she wanted the attention, and possibly to win Anjimito's favor.

Shall we put "It was an experiment to restore my father's faith in humanity" on the list alongside "It was a psych experiment" and "I was stringing the community along to see if you'd see through me"?

I had a lot more to post, but in retrospect it was just a lot of ARRGH PATHOLOGICAL LIARS SUCK, GIVE THEM ALL DRANO ENEMAS. Flashbacks of my own dealings with a pathological liar. The sad part is that this woman isn't going to change; even this firestorm isn't going to make her stop lying. In a way, this wank is actually the polar opposite of wank: not a huge kerfuffle over nothing, but a comparatively small kerfuffle over a problem that's going to destroy lives.

I'll just mop the foam off the keyboard now, then go read up on the life and times of my own comparatively cute pathological liar. Her manga's due out in Shounen Jump, no really!
