Crowdfunding: Enabling Grassroots Idiocy

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.

If it's not funded you don't pay, if it is funded but not completed you still can get your money back with the current rules. I will say though that all business is a risk, even low level fund a product stuff like this, you win some you loose some you just need to be smart where you put your money.

I have backed a few recently all are funded and are well on the way to completion, the Basics Notebook is one I have hopes for.

What I meant about risk is that even if the project is funded and completed, but not enough of the product is sold for it to break even, it's your money that's lost, not the creator's.

Looks like someone wants money to write fanfiction:

Doesn't profiting off of fanfiction sort of violate the number 1 rule of fanfiction?

Also, he needs money to get rid of "stress" so that he can write more. Sound familiar? *sigh*

Necro. Jim Norton's a great comedian and all but I just don't think this was really worth what he wanted at all. I showed this to @Aquinas in chat the other day and he thought it was dreadful. I'm sorry.

First actual episode:


The teaser:


To be fair some people are saying the first full completed episode is better than what they saw in the teaser, I still think this was completely unnecessary and if you know about the character, you'll know why. The most positive thing I can say is that they got Gilbert Gottfried to do voices for it but that's about it. It's a good example of someone I respect making a terrible crowdfunding campaign.

:story:wow, you found some really good ones. And they get funding!! I can't believe it.
The cosplay community is full of this, from cosplayers asking for money for boob jobs, to asking for money for conventions they can't afford to go to, to asking for money for cosplays they're going to make anyway. Here's my favorite bizarre one, give me money so I can fly my dog to an anime convention:

For some reason, all I could think was somebody was trying to crowdfund their dog to go see Sabaton
 
I think the best part about these is knowing that some people actually pay money for these dumb things.

  • I'm a lonely 35 year old virgin, i'm disabled and because so i can not find love. which is why i'm in hopes to raise money so i can get a sex doll who can keep me company when no one else will. a sex doll is my only option for partnership and of course any sex i'll ever get, so i hope people understand where i'm coming from before judging me.
what i need and what you get
  • i need at least $1000 in order to get the sex doll ordered, if i can't raise the funds any money i get will be saved and put aside so i can hopefully get this sex doll one day soon. if i manage to get her, perks will be pictures her dressed up, undressed, posing, etc. to give back for all the money to help me out.
Other Ways You Can Help
i understand some people just can't help and have their own money issues but please feel free to pass this page on to others, even as a laugh to allow others to get as much out of this as i can hope for. thank you!
