Just get Obsidian to hire her for Eternity.
Not to beat that dead horse too much, but that's how a lot of people felt about Sarkeesian's KS in the first place, considering she was already making videos without additional funding. But alas ... that is a story for another day.
She'll just spin it
Use it as a platform as why she and her daughter can't get funded
Come to their "campaign" website and "donate"
Fucking Bullshit
Will state again. Haven't been around the internet long have you? No reason doesn't mean will not happen, and isn't expected.
She's a scammer. Reading her Twitter feed is disgusting. Spamming this KickStarter to Women's groups.
Sarkeesian was at least taking funding for a product. The videos were being paid for, even if The Internet decided to overpay for them out of male guilt. The product here is "help me go to camp, btw it's already been paid for, you can have the shitty game I make if you want!".

I can deffinately see that happening. She's a smart woman with a loyal following and the people who report it are almost deffinately going to come off as the bad guys.
But it has to be done and as long as we can always call her out on her bullshit and explain why we're doing it, people will eventually see our way.
Man I shouldn't have checked into this thread, halfway ruined my night. How has this not been terminated already?
Then don't participate. I don't see how having money excludes you from being allowed to ask for more. The world's biggest donation collector is the Catholic Church. Which just happens to own billions.
In a country that pays Kim Kardashian more in one month than the entire faculty at MIT make in a year, what is shameless anymore?
fuck this goddamn world.
$10,000 +
ROCK STAR REWARD LEVEL: At this level, you get everything from the previous levels plus a personal apology from her brothers and the satisfaction of knowing that you've not only started a career, you've also helped to fund future courses in computer programming for her along with more (and better) games!
Only $25 and you can get this awesome mousepad!
Good for her. Get a bunch of people with no clue to pay for whatever you don't feel like. I'm going to start a kickstarter to get a new car even though I already have a 2011 liberty. Ill just leave that small detail out.
If there's no rule against it, then there's nothing anyone should be complaining about. People knew that the goal had been hit and kept on donating money. I donated to the retronauts kickstarter even though they already met their goal because I want them to have more money. I see nothing wrong with it.

How can I change this to be suitable for me? See I'm a guy, so what's a good spin for that?
"Help 19 year old self-empowered woman get new car without a sunroof. No glass ceilings here!"

Not sure if it would be funnier if the Twitter is a parody or 100% authentic. Between the spamming and vaginal injections posts, I am honestly not sure.
1. Creating a Kickstarter to donate money to a charity is AGAINST THE RULES
2. Creating a Kickstarter to fund an activity in someone's life is AGAINST THE RULES
3. Creating a Kickstarter to help someone out is AGAINST THE RULES
Kickstarter has had FIVE DAYS to take this down. And yet, here it is, still up.
It's like she just saw Satan himself.

The way it's worded they're donating for educating the girl on how to build an rpg to win a bet with her brothers. It's not a charity, it's not helping someone out, and it's straddling the line on funding an activity with the way it's worded. I highly doubt kickstarter is going to do anything to stop this.
Is it wrong? Not really.
Is it scummy? Yea, probably.
Holy Shit she is spamming the ever living shit out of this campaign
The Ellen Show?... lol
Educating a girl on how to build an RPG = Helping the girl
I am going to do a $5000 Kickstarter to buy me a new rig with SLI Titans. This will allow me to post better screenshots.
At the $10,000 tier you will get a full-color, signed, printout of a screenshot of your choice.

I don't think it falls under helping the girl personally. Of course I don't work for kickstarter so I don't know if they shut stuff like this down. Considering they'll be making a good amount from this I doubt they'll stop it.
Kickstarter Guidlines said:No "fund my life" projects.
Examples include projects to pay tuition or bills, go on vacation, or buy a new camera.

There's a difference between a multi-million dollar game project and an RPG Maker course for less than a thousand bucks. Even Garriot has invested a huge amount of money into his studio.Well, a bunch of millionaire game devs have done the same. No?
