So I’ve been poking around the CreepyPM’s subreddit again — it’s a place where people, mostly women, post screenshots of the creepy private messages they’ve gotten from anonymous weirdos — and I ran across this doozy from Omegle, an online chat program that links up random strangers.
This bit of passive-aggressive, cut-and-paste pervery was one anonymous fellow’s opening conversational salvo. (Click on the pic to see a larger, more readable version.)
Now, I’m no psychiatrist, but as someone who’s suffered from depression, I’m pretty sure that guilt-tripping random women on the internet into sending you pictures of their BOOBZ isn’t going to actually help to cure this depression.
But the fact is, this guy isn’t actually suicidal. He’s just made that bit up in order to con women — and evidently some underage girls — into showing him their tits.
How do I know? Because. as a couple of the regulars in the CreepyPMs subreddit have pointed out, he’s done this before, apparently many times, with the same sob story about “having a really crap week (my grandma died).” So either he’s lost several dozen grandmothers in the past couple of years or he’s lying. I’m going to go with the latter explanation. Occam’s razor and all.
So congratulations, dude, you’ve managed to define a new low in shitty online pervery. From now on, people will forever measured by your yardstick. As in, “well, that’s guy’s pretty pervy, but he’s not quit as pervy as the guy who pretended to be suicidal on Omegle to get girls to show him their tits.”
Kiwi girl – too right, they’re not spending any of those!
These assclowns are a watered down version of the GOP. They don’t do quite as much of the religious ranting, ‘cos they don’t have that sort of toxic religious base as widespread here as it is in the US, but that’s the best one can say for them.
I desperately hope everyone remembers how many people lost jobs and conditions under these creatures, come the election. (The PM was complaining about the outrageously good conditions of SPC workers – they get $50K a year when the average here is $74K, and the “conditions” were a payment of 58 cents an hour for when their clothes get wet.)
Oh, and this is Mr Sophisticated Diplomat who actually talks about “goodies and baddies” when referring to Egypt or Syria. Yes, those actual words.
This needs to be a one-term government.
Ok let me see if I get this. So the many men who have looked at your boobs aren’t creepy perverts, but the man who DOESN’T want to look at your boobs IS a creepy pervert. Ok got it
And he wears red speedos. There is nothing that can remove that image from my mind. 🙁
What always gets me about Aussie politics is the way “boat” has become a dirty word, though I suppose it has the right number of letters.
Kiwi girl – I know, Abbott in Speedos is the grossest thing EVER. Some pollies can get away with it; the scrawny gross hairy one can’t. (John Thwaites, who was Deputy Premier here around 2000, used to get voted the hottest pollie by the local gay community when he went out for a swim.)
maggiesausage – been around a while, too; the racists were on about “boat people” back when people were fleeing Vietnam and Cambodia. It’s worse now; I don’t think we had concentration camps set up then. 🙁
Completely OT but I’m reading old Manly Guys comics and just had a snortlaughchoke over this one:
http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/comic/never-give-up-never-surrender
Yeah this certainly isn’t new. This is either the same guy as, or a guy copycatting, a man from a while ago who threatened to hurt his pet dog if the girls ended the chat or didn’t expose themselves, and he intentionally targeted interests known for having younger teens. I dearly hope he rots somewhere, whether it’s prison or further south.
Well, how can anyone value them if everyone had them? The price would go way, way down, and you can’t have that! Before you know it, there’ll be crates of Ethics and Decency floating in the ocean. And what if one of them washes up on the shores of one of those countries? No, no, that’s no good. Must keep them safe from undeserving people.

Oh, and forgot to add…
That’s why we ‘Muricans hoard all of the FREEDOM and LIBERTY. Can’t really go out and give it to just anyone now, can we?
Susan, who are you responding to?
RE: Kittehs
ZOMG Manly Guys Doing Manly Things. I LOVE that comic–it’s one of the three I manage to read regularly. Did I mention I got to meet the creator and get a page of doodles from her at a con once? :B IT WAS AWESOME. And she was very nice to me. I give Manly Guys two burly thumbs up.
RE: pecunium
And Roman Polanski. Yeah, poor guy, churning out award-winning movies in fucking France… *eyeroll* I swear, if I do something that awful, I dearly hope MY fanbase would be outraged and horrified.
I think you may have misunderstood something somewhere along the line, Susan, but regardless: looking at boobs does not necessarily make one a creep (I’m not crazy about the word pervert) and one can be a creep without ever looking at boobs. Hope that helps.
RE: Edward White
Damn, I mistook you for EDGAR White for a moment, and I was gearing up to get all excited…
*might be just a LITTLE punchdrunk for pounding out 3K words and a lot of advertising. God I love writeathons*
Omegle is a real cesspool. I’ve had some interesting conversations there, but 90% of them start with either “26 M CALI ASL?” or “i’m a horny guy show me your boobs” and then get exponentially worse from there.
Also, Omegle MRAs are absolutely terrible.
How the hell would he know if it was a “slut” who showed him her boobs? It isn’t like boobs carry a record of the number of people who have seen them/felt them/had sex with their owner.
On the note of things wrong with the US, I just used my really nice (for an American) healthcare yesterday. 1 trip to urgent care + two generic prescriptions = $40. I pay $100 a month for it. I’m wondering what this sounds like to non-Americans? I don’t know what the monthly taxes, etc. are for national health care, but keep in mind–this is about as good as it gets in the US.
The urgent care around here is the best, though. The urgent care at my parents’ HMO is always at least a 40 minute wait–and that is if you get there early. We spent 4 hours at one down in southern oregon after my sister injured her hand. The one around here is open until 8 pm and got me in basically as soon as I filled out the paperwork.
I’m still a little confused whey a steroid nasal spray is supposed to help my ear pain, though.
RE: Wordsp1nner
Possibly with the assumption that sinus inflammation is involved? It’s the only thing I know of that hooks the two up.
Also ugh, don’t remind me. I’m having mass government problems, due to both the state AND the federal ones dropping the ball, which means I have no health insurance, no food stamps, and might be getting my bennies cut if I don’t find out what the fuck is going on. YAY USA! Where moving over state lines causes complete havoc!
On the steroid – ears nose and throat are so connected (they are often enough the same specialty in medicine, iirc) that it’s not all that surprising about the spray.
Unless they meant you to squirt it in your ear. 😛
I never recall off-hand what I pay for my private health, and I don’t use it that much, because it doesn’t cover GP visits, which are partly covered by Medicare. I’m on a very low wage, so I get money back at tax time rather than an extra slug.
I do envy you the $40 for two prescriptions! I have a few I have to renew often enough – eye drops, antidepressants and asthma inhaler – and they’re $36 each, every time. Ouch.
Actually, it was $20 for the prescriptions and $20 for an office visit.
I think the doctor thought my eustachian tube was closed because of allergies, when I told her that I’m pretty sure I had a minor cold, also my eustachian tube sucks hairy balls (not in those words). But since it isn’t an infection (yet)… there is nothing she can do about it.
That’s way cheaper than my doc visits; the clinic I go do doesn’t bulk-bill, dammit.
All my doctor visits, ever, have been covered, even with specialists. The one surgery I’ve ever had was covered, as was the after care. I went through a phase where I had a LOT of doctor visits, and trips to the imaging lab (also covered). All I’ve ever had to pay for was my portion of prescriptions (currently a $2 co-pay), glasses, dental, and orthotics. Pretty much all I have to pay for is elective stuff, like massages and chiropractor, and some plans cover those as well.
It must be terrifying to be ill in the US.
^covered by Alberta Health Insurance, for which citizens no longer pay, because our conservative government are financial idiots.
I always think it’s very telling that the advice for travel insurance in the US is to get “unlimited”. Not a million or three, unlimited.
In the US, even good insurance has copays on almost everything, and they keep going up. Just this year my insurance raised the copay for specialist visits (from $30 to $40). The only exception are some kinds of preventative care, like birth control and vaccines (though the last couple of vaccines I’ve had I got through work).
If I had to undergo surgery, I would probably be out around $1000 to $2000 dollars (I have to check what my plan covers, but I can’t remember), which I would have to go into debt for but could pay off, probably within a couple of months or so on my salary or with help from family. But remember–I have good insurance.
It must be terrifying to be ill in the US.
Aha. Ahahahahaha. HAHAHA.
*cries*
Let me put it this way: had my insurance not covered my partial hospitalization in the loonybin, it would’ve cleared me out of a year’s wages. Had I not been lucky enough to get my ass to MA and safely insured, I would’ve been DEAD.
But hey, once you’ve spent all your money on healthcare you may qualify for Medicare (Medicaid?) depending how it works in your state (probably not, unless you can’t work)
LBT — that fucking SUCKS, let me know if I can help sort paperwork or anything.
Oh noes
I stood up suddenly and startled Maddie
Such shame …
