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.

it's not a scam

it is just a PR campaign for a tasteless cash-in

yes, a tasteless campaign by a dude who could have just milked his TNG career for the rest of his life (like p much everyone else except patrick stewart did) but instead did RR during the ENTIRE time TNG was on the air. clearly this guy's just in it for the money. especially with all of that crazy money public broadcasting throws at people.

like i get that you're trolling but it's not very good

ah, so i'm an actor motivated by fame. do i fall back on my role in a huge cult-following science fiction show that's such a staple that reruns are shown on the BBC 20 years later? or do i fall back on my role as a loving public broadcasting actor?

THIS is a desperate attempt to cash in on fame. If you can't see the difference between that and the RR kickstarter, you're just a retard.

istr the original reading rainbow was a desperate attempt to show tv doesn't rot kids' brains. the owners wanted to sell episodes to regular network stations as much as pbs. (back when the fcc required a non-zero amount of "educational" content)

while i have fond memories of it i don't honestly think watching tv ever helped anyone to read poo poo. this is just another cheap, grasping nostalgia play

what is a cash grab about this? seriously i don't see how giving schools access to something for free that he is already making $$$$$$ off of is a cash grab. Do you really think he hasn't invested any of his own money into this project? Do you really think its just a chance to stay in the spotlight? Who the hell cares that it is a for profit firm, if they want to make some money off of teaching kids how to read why do you care? Did you know teachers get paychecks too?

You couldn't be more wrong and for that all i have to say to you is:

oh wait the whole point of being a stymie is to rile people up about a topic eternally

uhh ok here it goes

The minecraft bridge building fiasco was a bunch of goons overreacting to me getting frustrated with people overreacting to me taking down the bridges they kept building in a minecraft project i was curating a long time ago. Since then I've gone on to get a real job in the horrible city of portland, or where i need to cross multiple terrifying bridges every day and i literally shake with angst when this happens
