I'll take your word for it. The only crowdfunding platforms I see being pitched around are Kickstarter and Gofundme, and it's not like either is known for being forthcoming either.

Yeah for what it's worth a lot of Kickstarter campaigns will use Backerkit to sell addons after the KS is funded. It's usually not a primary funding platform but a secondary one.

It's possible Ian got a better deal from them in terms of the % they're taking but I won't speculate too much.

It is absolutely imperative that Ian does not back down and kowtow to the looney troon lefties that are mad about this book, Mainly because their melt down is funny and because these loony troons are fucking insane in more ways than one, two insane trannies tried to (and failed) to visit and threaten the owner of this very website just because a thread on here was making fun of them and calling them out on their bullshit. These people will never forgive Ian for his unforgivable sin of advertising a book, he is an un-person to them now and there is no going back, apologizing is useless and should not be done in any circumstance.

Yep, that's not good. Looks like we've got a cuckin' in progress, boys.

Expect an apology video within the week.

ETA: those who follow Karl, watch out for a poorly-concealed victory lap.
 
I'm genuinely surprised that you people are surprised that a leftist cuck, cucked under to internet pressure. And you people call Ian naive.
 
I'll go against the narrative here: the book in this form was a retardo move.

If he presented it as a study of fighting in the Ukraine with indepth commentary and first-hand accounts, or merely gave a boost to another author like he did with Ed Nash, I don't think anyone from any side would have been bothered (bar hyper-nationalistic Russians, but, eh, fuck 'em). Instead he clumsily tried to sold the memoirs of a quite peculiar character as "primary sources for modern combat" managing to place himself in an untenable position: if he trucks on he'll be branded a Nazi enabler for giving a platform to a weirdo and gain the support of a minority he doesn't want to be the champion of, if he cucks out he'll be branded as a traitor and gain nothing because another loud tard minority has already been soured.

He should have known better and sold it better. I wonder what's the backstory on this, if someone pushed for it behind the scenes or Ian is truly that clueless.

If Ian were a leftist cuck, he'd have never considered this project in the first place, much less announced and started fundraising for it.

What you're suggesting makes no sense based on what happened just today.

Pure speculation, but I suspect the author was not willing to sell his work piecemeal and they really thought the story was interesting. And hey, they got me there. I would love to read that damn thing now, because mercenaries and foreign soldiers are always... unique characters. Generally not good people, but certainly worth talking about.

Really, they should have put it up under a pseudonym and not directly advertise it as being about someone who fought in Azov. Maybe the guy didn't want to do that either. We don't know, and we might never know, barring Ian himself revealing it on the inevitable struggle session as he apologizes for having the gall to try to publish something an angry swede wrote.

Someone said something earlier that I think is what the real situation is. Ian is kind of old fashioned and thought that people would be able to be grown up enough to read the book and separate it from the author. He didn’t expect the backlash he got and he panicked and cucked out.
Sad to see, would have loved to see him stand his ground but oh well.
From what I can see, the people in his comments are disappointed to not be able to get the book too.
