Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

Hey guys, do me a favor. Scroll to the bottom of this Kickstarter and report it. This book is the product of r/seduction on Reddit and it actively encourages non-consensual physical aggression towards women as a pick-up technique. It's loving disgusting.

if kickstarter decides to clamp down on the pua book, they'll have to update their tos and that's something they don't want to without talking to legal counsel first

if they do nothing, gently caress 'em, but give them a chance first

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

my guess will be that kickstarter won't do anything for this particular campaign but once it's over they'll silently update their tos

Kickstarter posted:

Kickstarter reviews projects based on our guidelines and the information creators share on their project pages. It’s a process we’ve refined over four years and continue to refine daily. We strive for fair and thoughtful policies that maintain the health of the Kickstarter ecosystem.

This morning, material that a project creator posted on Reddit earlier this year was brought to our and the public’s attention just hours before the project’s deadline. Some of this material is abhorrent and inconsistent with our values as people and as an organization. Based on our current guidelines, however, the material on Reddit did not warrant the irreversible action of canceling the project.

As stewards of Kickstarter we sometimes have to make difficult decisions. We followed the discussion around the web today very closely. It led to a lot of internal discussion and will lead to a further review of our policies.

the irreversible action...

you won't find that statement on kickstarter's official blog or twitter feed btw, looks like they only shared it with news articles that approached them for comment
