Kickstarter has been a woke shithole for years. There's a reason why all the non-leftie independent comic creators used indiegogo instead.

Yep. Kickstarter has a long history of being pozzed. Fuck 'em.

Oh right, seeing your post title I was going to mention their new "Head of Comics" being the reason for this, but it looks like the article covers that already.

EVS talking about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aApsXV0OKI

This is obviously intentional. He's doing exactly what they hired him for.

all of this shit is happening because the government issued trillions of dollars to blackrock under "quantitative easing". blackrock is led by larry fink (a literal communist/marxist), and they used that money to buy up board seats of every major corporation, public and private.

they inflated your dollars to half their value, and used that money to install political pawns in corporate leadership everywhere. normal people don't actually support this shit.

the largest recipient of QE was blackrock, and they've received trillions of newly issued USD since 2008.

Why, exactly, does a crowdfunding platform need a head of comics?

Because you can't just be a platform without trying to abuse section 231 and control content anymore I guess.

These money exchanging services doing this shit is actually illegal, but our government agrees with it.

It's pretty much just another diversity hire position getting paid 6 figures to do nothing.

To ban comics, of course. Almost every employee at every tech company is there to prevent people from using the technology in one way or another.

>implying it wasn't already gone to begin with

Pretty sure Kickstarter has been openly pulling this shit for a few years now. Somewhat quietly for longer.

The Fox News story on this notes that Kickstarter refused a funding campaign for a film on prolific abortion murderer Kermit Gosnell in 2015:

Kickstarter has had a history of suspending or rejecting projects that appear to counter a progressive ideology. In 2015, the company rejected a crime movie project surrounding controversial abortionist Kermit Gosnell, claiming it violated community guidelines. In 2022, the platform pulled Mike Barron’s “The Private American” comic after accusations that it promoted “racist propaganda.”

This was testing the waters with the new guy that they just installed to oversee comics. Everyone knew Kickstarter was compromised, this is a check to see what the new extent is

I can't think of a single Kickstarter that I was glad to be part of. If it weren't for this thread, I wouldn't have thought of Kickstarter at all.

Hey, they told me repeatedly in the 90s and early 00s that there was no agenda.
