Appeal to Empathy for a Username

Today at 00:04 Hi uhm! This is gonna be really crazy but hear me out? Please? Okay. Right. So my girlfriend goes by slumber on her account and she tried to claim it aaaaand bowomp username is taken... she uhmm, she's really upset? Like. She won't eat, she's kinda refusing to sleep and saying it's stressing her out and that she's worried her friends are gonna forget her or not remember her because of her new name and it's just.. it's just really stressful for her.So I kinda come to you man to man and have to ask, can you change your name for me? For her? Surely there's another name you've gone by at some point? But for her she's always been Slumber and I don't want her having anymore anxiety attacks and with her history of self-harm and the fact we are long distance I am stressing over the fact I might not be there for her when it all becomes too much. This would help me a lot and most importantly you'd make the sweetest girl in the worlds day. So, thank you. It's an appeal to empathy.

A screenshot shows a long late-night message asking someone to give up the username “bowomp” so the sender’s girlfriend can use “slumber.” The sender piles on emotional claims about anxiety, self-harm, and forgetting her friends, making the request an exaggerated guilt trip and parody of an appeal to empathy.
