"oh no emily gwen bad, here is receipts" anon again.
I have likely posted this before but here is a screenshot of a december 18th 2025 post where she angrily rebuffs the 'campaign' against her
https://i.gyazo.com/a14ce7d15b7b6fca20fc0238d0e22ffa.png
so the redflags, in counting:
• some sort of nebulous campaign of ne'er-do-wells that is never elaborated upon. You're supposed to brush it off as absurd and not dig deeper.
• "im just a poor disabled queer, how could they do this to me, I don't want to do it even, my conga line of tragedy forces me to :(" whilst quoting her tweet of "the lesbian who designed the flag is homeless and needs your help" text overlaid over the lesbian flag.
She acts reluctant but its the vast majority of her posts, give or take the odd "how do you do fellow lesbians #relatable amirite" posting, or references to friends etc that are conveniently never in her online circles.
A lot of things are happening here, mainly: an appeal to "woe is me how marginalized and tragic I am". This is a behaviour some call 'waifing'. To quote a reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/raisedbyborderlines/comments/1ex8qr5/what_exactly_is_waifing/
(it goes without saying but don't contact any of the people here)
"Waifing is weaponized helplessness taken to the nth degree.
Example: When my mom had a bad night and couldn’t emotionally regulate herself so she called me up and told me she thought she was having a heart attack so I drove three hours to take her to the hospital because she also refused to call 911 because she was scared that “all the noise and flashing lights will make it worse.”
And then I got there and she couldn’t even be bothered to act sick for two minutes. Just starts right in with the emotional dumping.
Other times, the waif is too weak or vaguely ill to face the consequences of her actions, and you’d have to be a monster not to do anything you can to help the poor dear, much less keep pressing the issue."
as a disabled person (iirc you are too), I think we're familiar with the fact that disabled people don't actually like the poor widdle defenseless helpless bean framing and are often reluctant to make gofundmes, they're typically a last resort for the hell that is navigating the American healthcare system. I am not familiar with Australia, but pretty much all the 'free' options don't work for Emily in some format.
this is going to be a long one, but a decade+ ago there was a grifter (emotional support and duping a guy into housing her rather than money outright) called goldenphoenixgirl. (unrelated to emily gwen)
https://www.tumblr.com/goldenphoenixgirl
I referenced being duped into buying into a woe-is-me type in the leftist community and yeah. massive tw for child sex trafficking, in short: not impossible goldenphoenixgirl was trafficked but a lot of her claims didn't add up (in the vein of being physically impossible) on top of her being very woe-is-me whilst rallying the attack dogs.

this is an example of what I'm talking about.
A. "you can't express any disbelief, criticism or even a question about how this adds up because that in of itself is rude"
B. "it is rude to criticise me because I am part of xyz groups"
C. "any asking for evidence is rude, *shakes and cries* also I owe nobody an explanation of anything"
Combination of put-upon sadness and rebuffing anger there designed to get the attack dogs going. goldenphoenixgirl later linked to the kids' ask box directly.

Hell of a tangent, but yeah. Having being around during the thick of all that (and unfortunately was one of the followers that lashed out at the kid with 'how dare you', later apologized for whatever good that is worth) Emily Gwen reads as weird to me. I am not saying they're the same person, but when you've experienced this "how dare you, go forth my attack dogs and protect your sad little waif" manipulation you start to see the pattern. :/
A few days ago (possibly december18th?) Emily tried setting some kind of 800dollar goal on her kofi for something hospital-related, it met the goal of course and was quietly removed but the tips were still open afterward.
I have checked the kofi again today (24th December, late in the day) just now and there's another goal.

"finding housing
13% of $2000 goal
For when I get out of the hospital - rental bond/deposit and upfront rent - any essential furniture or homewares I don't have that I need to find on fb marketplace"
So the 800 Australian dollars (I'd have to dig through my screenshots to find it, gyazo is a pain) was for medical stuff. Okay. But NOW she needs two thousand dollars for a wholly unrelated thing? AND she needs new furniture? She couldn't pay rent on the last place? The mental health ward don't suggest a place to stay? What is happening?
"For when I get out of the hospital" are they letting her just keep her phone in hospital or? That's a no-go for a lot of mental health places but its hard for me to say re: Australia.
at this point, if you are in Australia feel free to contact Australian authorities, I've tried forms and such for outside-Australia options. So hopefully some kind of ball gets rolling, this is an insane amount of money. I'm sorry but if you get your rent deposit for the umpteenth time citing homelessness only to be homeless again you are mismanaging your resources at that point.
Here's my post talking about it.
