OOF. That's gotta suck. Why are their GFMs so unsuccessful ? I mean marchi's GFM took 2 months to reach 5k whilst vic's took 2 months to reach ~150k. People care about these sorts of things, it's been proven. What they don't like is people who try to pat themselves on the back and virtue signalling these issues. I've always said, if you want to make a difference in the world, you better be getting in the shit and actually helping people not sitting behind a keyboard and typing out a multi-thread tweet on why people should listen to you and do things without question
It's really not that hard to understand.
The funding of a #kickback campaign is based on the model Comicsgate refined. The Genesis of which was Ethan Van Sciver (Comicartistpro Secrets) taking his old school 'puttin' on a show' telethon approach to crowd-funding comics and applying it to legal action against SJW's attempting to de-platform people.
EVS set up the gofundme for The Quatering (Jeremy Hambley), allowing him pursue an action after he was assaulted at a con and Van Sciver went on to successfully do likewise to fund Meyer V. Waid to the tune of 120k. It all spiraled out from there.
It turns out there's a lot of fanboys in their 30's and 40's with real jobs (unlike their SJW counterparts) and deep pockets and a deep desire to finally see real life consequences for the behaviour of the toxic SJW twitter mobs that have been running amok and wrecking their fan communities with seeming impunity.
Nick Reketa first blew up covering comicsgate, and comicsgate immediately saw the potential of combining fan communities under seige with the youtube legal community. Nick simply did what he had seen Comicsgate do so successfully.
In contrast, the SJWs model for fundraising is to half-heartedly e-beg on twitter and facebook and then get their shill allies in the mainstream media to write articles about them to hopefully draw attention to their funding efforts because they're too lazy and lacking in charisma to do the heavy lifting themselves.
There's a very different level of engagement between their passive panhandling and the #kickback approach of running a nightly three or four hour telethon to an audience of several thousand people that are actively engaged in real time with the funding campaign.
Folks raising legal funds to fight these sort of cases, like Count Dankula, tend to promise to donate any surplus funds to charity, as it reassures contributors that they're not simply lining their own pockets with donations.
Personally I think it would be a great idea, and the next logical progression in taking the culture war to the SJW's, to create a 'fuck these guys' legal defense fund out of the surplus left over from these individual funds to create an anti-SJW version of the ADL, managed by aligned Youtube Lawers to draw a line in the sand for these scumbags that they won't dare step over.
