I think one of the problems is that while there are plenty of people who are in that situation of making minimum wage and having no back-ups, friends, family, safety nets, or other options to turn to...these usually aren't the people you see begging their followers for rent on Tumblr.

Granted, about half of the financial requests I see on Tumblr aren't a problem - they're either real emergencies (pet needs medical care, lost a job and just finished off the savings, etc) that are isolated incidents, and/or they're commission based (i.e. I need a new laptop, chip in and I'll make you fanart as soon as I get it).

But the other half of them are people who need help paying the rent or bills, yet seem to have enough money for things like cosplaying, merch, conventions, etc, and unfortunately the latter group seems to be growing, and at an increasingly rapid pace. I understand that it's not always feasible to just put your life on hold when you are trying to sort through your life circumstances and finances and stuff, but at the same time, priorities - making rent is a hell of a lot more important than a cosplay outfit or going to a convention.

That's true, and I had a roommate like that (so, you know, getting a roommate isn't always the better option). But what you're saying is a far cry from the anon above insisting that if you have money problems, it's almost always your fault. That's classist libertarian bullshit logic and I wish it would die off already.
