quote:

To whoever may read this, let us start by apologizing. We were naive, privileged, and stupid. While we're sure we would have eventually reached our goal, we realized, after deep reflection, that it wouldn't have been right. As such, we've suspended the project, and we will be reporting ourselves to Kickstarter as violating their terms of service. We've already begun disassembling our Tumblr, Facebook, and Blogger accounts. We'll remove the website as soon as we can. We would remove the Kickstarter project itself, but they are kept up indefinitely once launched. If we can find a way to have it removed, we will. If not, all we can say is that our apology will be on display along with our mistake as an example for others.

We would also like to thank the people who, despite their very justified rage at our callous and unthinking behavior, were willing to take a moment to help us understand what we did wrong. They were under no obligation to do so, and we had no reason to expect that kindness. They were willing to take on that burden, and we owe them a debt. Thank you, and we cannot apologize enough for the harm we caused.

It's a hollow apology, but we never meant to offend. You hear that so often, but it never makes it any better. We wanted to make manga with an empowered, capable woman as the protagonist. We wanted to make a comic that showed a brown skinned woman in a leading role like Luffy and Goku. We wanted to change the conversation about sex workers by making them respectable and powerful. We wanted to do it by parodying a genre we love very much. We thought we'd been careful with problematic elements in the script by asking women and sex workers for feedback while we were working. We were wrong.

These are all excuses, and nothing can change the fact that we were in the wrong. We had good intentions, but it is very, very obvious that we failed. Noble intentions aren’t good enough; we didn't check our privilege nearly enough to consider the pain and damage we would do and have done with this comic. We understand that people are angry and will be angry; they have every right to be. We hosed up.

We're sorry, and we promise that we will try our best to do better in the future. We will learn from our mistakes. We're not asking for forgiveness or a pat on the back because we “learned something” at so many people's emotional distress. We were stupid, and we deserve anger and disgust that we've seen over the past few days. We can see that very clearly now. We're sorry, and we can't say it enough.

quote:

Nathyn is right. I agree whole heartedly this is an overly sensitive world and you do have the 1st Amendment for a Reason. I already shared my thoughts on the matter what your doing is not racist or sexist, if thats the case then we need to really look at the sex and violence book not to mention every GTA game ever made. If you are done with this project indeed than I challenge you to make a new shonen.

I have a great idea for your you guys if you would like to discuss it privately. If people can make religion bashing comics on KS and get funded among other appalling things then I don't see how in the hell you guys violated the terms of service. You had an original idea and it had a theme that many would be offended by. Its as simple as this, if your offended dont back it, dont watch, dont play it, dont support it. OK rant over. All the best of luck again, I have an idea for you guys if you are interested just message me privately. Thanks.

My wife and I recently returned home from a vacation to California with some friends. As we were getting ready to board our flight home, my friend couldn't find his credit card in his wallet. He contacted the rental car company thinking he had left it in the car after filling up with gas. The rental company double checked the car, but found nothing. My friend searched his wallet over and over again, but also couldn't find it. Fearful he would have to cancel his card, he resorted to emptying all of the contents in his wallet while seated on the plane. I was amazed at the heaping pile that came out of his wallet. Luckily for my friend, he found his credit card hidden deep in his wallet.

As for me, the vacation went so smoothly using my Crabby Wallet. In fact, it was more convenient than I ever expected. I have never had such an easy time going through security at the airport. My car key and phone were securely held together with my wallet in my front pocket. My ID was easily accessible when required.

While at the theme parks in California, I had everything I needed and nothing more all in my front pocket with my Crabby Wallet. The wallet made the trip so simple. All of the park's reentry tickets and fast pass tickets slid easily in to the front easy access pocket. Needles to say, I didn't lose my credit card in my wallet unlike my friend. I did lose my wedding ring though. I guess I should have attached it to the wallet's attachment loop somehow.

Wow. $100,000 for an Outlook-looking Thunderbird.

I love the $2,500 "reward."

quote:

As though the fantastic perks listed above weren't enough, you're also invited to sit in the Yorba office and hack with our engineers for a day! (Travel and board not included.) You'll have at your disposal a desk, a comfortable chair, WiFi connectivity, and a workstation or monitor for your own notebook. See how Yorba develops its great software, join us for lunch, sit in our design meetings, and chat with the crew about the challenges of creating world-class open-source software!

I can pay to work in a cubicle for a day! Sign me up! I've had this poo poo backwards my entire career.
