What's Your Anger Mean? Anything?
When word broke
that a project called Above the Game: A
Guide to Getting Awesome with Women, a seduction guide with advice that
constitutes harassment and rape, was
about to pull in over $16,000 ($14,000 over its fundraising goal) the internet
erupted into righteous fury.
I don’t know
about you but all my social media was full of outrage. Almost
as soon as they heard about it, people condemned it on Facebook, Google+, and
Twitter. People were writing blogpost after blogpost.
Kickstarter
panicked and their panic lead to inaction. After Ken Hoinsky got his $16K, Kickstarter issued an
apology, banned seduction guides, and donated $25,000 to RAINN (Rape, Abuse
& Incest National Network). *
So the question
now is:
IS YOUR OUTRAGE WORTH MORE THAN A LIKE AND A RANTY BLOGPOST?
*Should be noted too that Kickstarter will be able to write their donation off their taxes.*
