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.

This invokes so much rage at me. It's a good thing I'm pretty good at controlling my emotions. I spent the entire night this happened arguing the merits of seduction on Google plus. I never managed to get through to anybody, as they would continually misquote excerpts.

yeah i know RAINN is good?? post was just a dumb joke about kickstarter ending up $25,000 down rather than $800 up on a $16,000 project... no insult meant to RAINN at all...

nice job, they literally say in the next paragraph

quote:

Why didn’t we cancel the project when this material was brought to our attention? Two things influenced our decision:

The decision had to be made immediately. We had only two hours from when we found out about the material to when the project was ending. We’ve never acted to remove a project that quickly.


they say they were wrong for not cancelling it quicker, but its not like they didnt cancel it because they said "eh gently caress it." they wanted to think it through, were sorry they didnt reach a conclusion earlier, and have taken steps to ensure that it doesnt happen again

the one they pulled the plug on they'd been told about days before and so had more time to make a decision.

plus coming down to the wire is probably something they should be doing before cancelling funding on something questionable (obviously less clear cut than a rape guide), since there should be a fairly substantial debate, since they're always going to be setting precedent. coming down to last minute in other instances proves they take longer to decide these issues, sometimes as long as they can, instead of implying they can quickly respond.

so out of curiosity do the pooas think this stuff will actually lead to a long term relationship that gets them out of their crippling loneliness with a subservient sex slave waifu, or do they recognize that at best it just helps them rape emotionally fragile women who will sneak out in terror and shame overnight? does that count as a "win" for them?

there's absolutely no interest in LTR for them.

yeah the money gets paid to amazon, who then gives kickstarter inc their percentage and forwards the rest to the project owner.

amazon could refuse to pay out funds but its up to them
