- (16:32:32) +VCR_Working: https://twitter.com/FundHer/status/316554450959486976
- (16:33:49) +VCR_Working: moots
- (16:33:57) +SerWind: I was just about to post: https://images.4chan.org/vg/src/1364337098116.jpg
- (16:33:59) +SerWind: wat
- (16:34:41) +SerWind: That blatant attempt at an ego stroke
- (16:36:48) ~moots: who is this person?
- (16:37:04) +nemo`: she launched a kickstarter for her kid
- (16:37:17) +nemo`: supposedly trying to raise $800 to send her to some tech camp
- [...]
- (16:37:28) +SerWind: Didn't she ask for 20,000?
- (16:37:36) +nemo`: that's how much she got
- (16:37:48) +nemo`: she spammed the fuck out of her twitter asking for donations
- (16:37:56) +nemo`: and playing it up as a gender thing
- (16:38:07) +nemo`: "mean brothers won't let her pursue her STEM dreams" and all
- (16:38:13) +nemo`: not sure wtf she wants with you, moots
- (16:38:15) +Azatsu: I don't understand why she's referring to KS
- (16:38:25) +nemo`: ...not Katawa Shoujo
- (16:38:35) +SerWind: I'm pretty sure a bunch of boards are pissed off with her
- (16:38:38) +Azatsu: wait, is it Katawa Shoujo or not
- (16:38:41) +nemo`: no
- (16:38:42) +SerWind: maybe she thinks appealing to moot will make it all go away
- (16:38:43) +nemo`: KickStarter
- (16:38:45) +Azatsu: Oh
- (16:38:52) +Azatsu: Makes sense
- (16:39:13) +Azatsu: This is one of the stupidest kickstarter projects I've seen
- (16:39:19) +Azatsu: You don't need money to learn how to program in RPG maker
- (16:39:27) +SerWind: Everything about it is insulting
- (16:39:28) +Azatsu: nor do you need people to instruct you, it's not hard at all
- (16:39:34) +nemo`: she probably doesn't understand 4chan and believes that you ordered the attack, moot
- (16:39:36) +nemo`: lol
- (16:40:50) +SerWind: She should be careful. One word from moot and her computer will explode.
- (16:41:46) +nemo`: I recommend that she buy a dog
- (16:44:02) +VCR_Working: kickstarter itself is supporting it
- (16:44:09) +VCR_Working: even though it breaks a LOT of the TOS
- (16:45:38) +VCR_Working: the whole thing reeks of a manipulative scam
- (16:45:53) +nemo`: I kinda gave up on kickstarter after OUYA and Anita
- (16:46:40) +SerWind: Wait
- (16:46:44) +VCR_Working: i used kickstarter myself
- (16:46:45) +SerWind: Kickstarter is backing this shit?
- (16:46:53) +VCR_Working: there's mounting evidence
- (16:47:02) +VCR_Working: that it breaks a lot of theirtos
- (16:47:03) +VCR_Working: but
- (16:47:09) +Alkaid: ...what's this all about?
- (16:47:10) +SerWind: I'm glad I've been sitting on the fence about using it.
- (16:47:19) +VCR_Working: they're paying no mind about it
- (16:47:31) +VCR_Working: but yeah i used ks to fund something myself so i can't hate on it
- (16:47:32) +VCR_Working: i
- (16:47:40) +VCR_Working: just hate how people can be so manipulative
- (16:47:51) +VCR_Working: and how ks isn't doing anything about it
- (16:47:59) +nemo`: the only thing of value that kickstarter has produced is The Magical Realms of Tir Na Nog: Escape from Necron 7 - The Official Game of the Movie - Revenge of Cuchulainn: Chapter 2 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa
- (16:48:27) +VCR_Working: the idea behind ks is def legit, it's just the people abusing the system
- [...]
- (16:50:46) +Sange: the worst part is that woman was rich yet she still felt the need to scam people
- (16:51:13) +nemo`: I think she's claiming to be unemployed at the moment
- (16:51:53) +Sange: I've read a story about her being rich and saw one pic of her next to Warren Buffett
- (16:51:54) +Alkaid: Is this about the girl who wanted to make a documentary or something to that effect?
- (16:52:08) +SerWind: No that's anita
- (16:52:54) +VCR_Working: ya
- (16:52:54) +SerWind: This is some apparent millionaire asking for money to fund her daughters "scholarship" which is basically a direct breach of their TOS
- (16:53:00) +SerWind: also VCR_Working you're right it is legit
- (16:53:05) +VCR_Working: not even scholarship
- (16:53:15) +VCR_Working: it's an rpg programming camp
- (16:53:22) +VCR_Working: the girl is friggin 9
- (16:53:25) +SerWind: but if they aren't upholding their TOS it's kind of
- (16:53:26) +SerWind: yano
- (16:53:28) +SerWind: a red flag
- (16:53:33) +VCR_Working: yeahhh
- (16:54:04) +SerWind: KS isn't meant to be used so you can get a nice laptop for your 9 year old daughter for free
- (16:54:05) +SerWind: lol
- (16:54:58) +Alkaid: What. Seriously?! ....people are super stupid at times
- (16:55:22) +Alkaid: (Though, I do want to say in the very beginning of the site, I'd see stupid things like 'fund my sandwich' etc)
- (16:55:31) +tjanster: Once, there was an "I'm rich" app costing USD$999.99
- (16:55:38) +tjanster: 6 people bought it within the first hour
- (16:55:42) +tjanster: Yes, people are stupid.
- (16:55:43) +VCR_Working: lol.
- (16:55:50) +fsdfdsf: lol
- (16:55:53) +nemo`: yeah, Kickstarter by itself is fine
- (16:55:54) +VCR_Working: or maybe they are just rich
- (16:56:02) +VCR_Working: and want to flaunt their richness
- (16:56:09) +VCR_Working: i know i would
- (16:56:10) +nemo`: it's just depressing to see how easily people will whip out their wallets
- (16:56:15) +VCR_Working: aand yeah
- (16:56:19) +Sange: it's impossible to stop people from being retarded on the internet, as we all know too well
- (16:56:27) +SerWind: I dunno I'd feel a little guilty if I spent 999 for absolutely nothing
- (16:56:30) +nemo`: that's the great tragedy of the information age :P
- [...]
- (17:30:14) +AoC: hah
- (17:30:20) +AoC: Did I fucking call it or what
- [...]
- (17:30:43) +AoC: left unchecked and now Susan Wilson and her Kista scam dominates /v/ front page at all times
- (17:31:22) +AoC: pattern recognition is the name of the game son
- [...]
- (17:38:48) +AoC: I don't think the Susan Wilson thing can be contained at this point anyway so might as well let it go unfettered
