I love Kickstarter. I think that’s clear to people who know me by now? I love it. There’s a dude named Brad Muir and he works at Double Fine and I love the games they make, so much. But before Kickstarter, every time a Double Fine game came out I was a little worried it would be their last, and I’d have to worry that if people didn’t buy it, who knows what would happen to that studio. Then they found KIckstarter and now they make games and people like me can front load the development cost for them and it is the absolute best arrangement for creative people who want a tool in the exhausting struggle of art + commerce.  A friend of mine is taking a month off her job to write a children’s book because of this platform. It’s GREAT. I love it. 

The outcome of this is that I spend a lot of time just browsing Kickstarter looking for something cool to either back or crow about online. I don’t really back much - I don’t have a ton of capitol to toss around, and I’m sure the fact that I have a lot of ideas and no money factors into my love of a platform that gives money to people with ideas - but I like to check it out. So tonight, I found THIS fucking thing. 

This is a nightmare. 

Watching the video, reading the description, it sounds fairly innocent but a little eye-roll inducing. It’s another book where some nerd, desperate to be liked by women (this is not an insult, we are ALL desperate to be liked by someone we want to have sex with) thinks he’s figured out some cheat code or check-list like routine they can run in a bar to make women sleep with them, as if women aren’t people but a series of subroutines or an obstacle course that they can optimize to get their dick wet as fast as possible. And he’s written that advice down! And he’s selling it! To you! You could learn his cheat codes. This is nothing new for the internet. In fact, a large swath of this book was published already on Reddit. What’s new is that he’s crowdfunding it. 

And sure, you might think this is sad or dumb or that this guy is just another lonely dude talking to other lonely dudes who’ll head out into the night with their fedoras to failure, right? Not a big deal? Oops, turns out we’re wrong, because here are some excerpts from what he’s already put on Reddit - 

”5) Get CLOSE to her, damn it!

To quote Rob Judge, “Personal space is for pussies.” I already told you that the most successful seducers are those who can’t keep their hands off of women. Well you’re not gonna be able to do that if you aren’t in close! ”

“All the greatest seducers in history could not keep their hands off of women. They aggressively escalated physically with every woman they were flirting with. They began touching them immediately, kept great body language and eye contact, and were shameless in their physicality. Even when a girl rejects your advances, she KNOWS that you desire her. That’s hot. It arouses her physically and psychologically.”

 

“Decide that you’re going to sit in a position where you can rub her leg and back. Physically pick her up and sit her on your lap. Don’t ask for permission. Be dominant. Force her to rebuff your advances.”

“Sex

Pull out your cock and put her hand on it. Remember, she is letting you do this because you have established yourself as a LEADER. Don’t ask for permission, GRAB HER HAND, and put it right on your dick.”

SO. Now I am no longer rolling my eyes.

This guy is no longer just being weird and creepy on the internet. Now he’s writing a book about how to sexually assault women, and he is using something I believe in (Kickstarter) to ask YOU for money to do it. I am offended as someone who believes in the platform, and more importantly I am offended as someone who believes women shouldn’t be treated this way, and that people who say otherwise CERTAINLY should not profit off saying they should. 

This isn’t harmless. People come to these boards because they are scared of being humiliated, and they are saying to the world, “Tell me what to do, because I don’t know what to do.” And this guy has chosen to tell them, “You should be a rapist.” 

There’s largely nothing we can do about people saying this shit on a place like Reddit - Reddit’s a mess for another time - but let’s get it off of Kickstarter. The project is funded in 10 hours - and unfortunately a lot of those are sleeping hours - but PLEASE report it to Kickstarter, please tweet @Kickstarter asking them to take it down, and PLEASE do not let something cool be used for the UGLIEST thing imaginable.

The Kickstarter - Report Button is on the bottom of the page

Please Tweet at @Kickstarter 

Casey

I’ve reported this and tweeted at KS. I just hope someone on that end will be around to deal with the flood of complaints before the project is funded. Shit like this flies under the radar far too often.

I’ll put this here too, for good measure.

Worth reporting - it just takes a couple of seconds.

This IS a game of “Who the fuck are you”!

• Age: 24
• Height: 5’9”
• Weight: balanced
• Relationship status: single
  
• Birthday: In the beginning of May
  
• Favorite color: I actually really like colors in general, and am convinced secretly-not-secretly-now that if I express a preference for one over the other then its feelings might get hurt so no. I do tend to gravitate towards earth tones, though.
• Favorite Musical Artists: Florence and the Machine, Decemberists, Magnetic Fields, Mountain Goats, P!ink, Alexander Borodin, the Cranberries… lots more, this is a decent start though.
  
• Last song listened: can’t recall, though probably something off my Ridiculous Hannibal Playlist which is full of Taylor Swift and Kelly Clarkson.
• Favorite movie: I DON’T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE. It definitely used to be Pride and Prejudice, but… there are just so many good movies. Still, 1995 P&P has a special place in my heart. Very formative.
• Last movie watched: Hotel Transylvania
• Favorite book: ALL THE BOOKS. No, seriously, can we just make this favorite poet? We are. That’s easier. My favorite poet is Gerard Manley Hopkins, and my second favorite poets are tied between Eavan Boland and Nuala ni Dhomhnaill whose name I might have spelt wrong, it’s challenging.
• Last book read: Les Mis & House of Leaves, at the moment
• # of siblings: 2
• # of pets: I have a dog. In another country.

• Current shirt color: um. yeah. about that. not actually wearing a shirt? it’s summer!
• Gamer? nope, I suck too much for it to be fun
• Day or night? morning. and early evening.
• Summer or winter? WINTER. Fuck summer and all it stands for.
• Most-visited website? tumblr
• Celebrity crush: oh god, my mind went blank. I suppose I admire - oooh. Neil Gaiman. Yeah.
• Biggest turn on: excellent conversation WITH SILLINESS. I find people who are clever and having fun attractive.

subway??? no man this is domway. we tell you how you want your sandwich and u shut up and eat it.

This is domway, where we pre-negotiate how the sandwich will be made with your full understanding of the ingredients and their usual consequences. If the worst happens and you don’t like the sandwich you can use a safeword, we’ll remove it and immediately stop lunch. Then we’ll remake it for you the way you like, with plenty of communication to avoid those ingredients in the future. That way you can build a foundation of trust with us, and enjoy yourself by safely giving yourselves into the hands of other sandwich-makers who have proven their responsibility and compassion with your dietary needs.

Guys the Chris Argent School for Werewolves Who Can’t Werewolf Good is real.

Reason why I love Nat ^^^^^^

I DON’T KNOW NAT, BUT MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY WHILE WATCHING THIS EPISODE lol

extremelyfondofsharman:

I want Derek to start carrying around a spray bottle of water and every time Isaac even LOOKS at Cora he squirts him with it

Yes. But I am kind of amazed that Isaac can actually even think about Cora right now. He has no idea of her personality, and has not seen her besides rabid and wolfed-out. It… doesn’t seem very attraction-building to me? I guess she IS the first non-Erica female werewolf he’s met, though.

Guys, I’m really genuinely worried about what happened to the Camaro though, because getting rid of important/meaningful possessions is one of the major warning signs of suicidal intent.

And what he did in the boiler room?  Seemed a lot like he didn’t want to come out alive.  

This is exactly why I’m worried.  On its own, I’d be willing to write it off as a writing glitch and maybe the show not fully realizing how attached the fandom is to the Camaro.  But there’s also Derek’s weary, “Go home, Scott” instead of even mentioning that he needs help; there’s the fact that we haven’t seen him shift beyond eyes, fangs and claws even when his life is actively in danger; there’s “I know exactly what I’m risking: my life for theirs” and “that’s why I’m going alone” and just standing there without fighting back while Boyd and Cora try to maul him to death.

I really want to believe that it’s just a fault in the writing, but there are too many other warning signs right now for me to feel comfortable doing that.  And I wish they’d just tell us definitively what happened to the damned car, so I can know for sure not if he’s suicidal, but how far along his thoughts have progressed.
