The funding campaigns have clear minimum needs, and sometimes breakpoints beyond that. After each person added to the fund, any future potential donor/investor would see the new total beforehand. Given how far above the requested amount it went, I can't see any reasonable belief that the extra money would be going to the project.I don't agree with your premise. You're saying they just threw money at her that she could spend as she pleases (like those $1000 shoes on her blog?)
But, those first few thousand dollars requested would have been plenty to pay for the time and effort needed to make said hate-spewing videos. Even after milking it with added support levels, she ended up with 6 times the maximum. Around $20k for the number of videos, given their intended content, and research needs, is pretty reasonable, honestly (a bit high given what got produced, IMO, but that's a 20/20 hindsight judgment).I, and many others, feel that money was meant for the purpose of creating her hate-spewing videos, not "lifestyle support".
I'm saying I can't see how anyone would think she would have needed more and more and more money for the videos. I can easily see people that believe in her message wanting to show their support by giving her money, when given the chance to directly do so, however.
Clearly, this Amazing Atheist character could learn a thing or two from A.S., and is wasting opportunities left and right.Now, semantics aside... still think she's being "abuuused" over getting the same backlash EVERYONE ELSE GETS for being political on the interwebs?
The Amazing Athiest gets the same kind of hate mail every day... should he run fleeing from his home, crying to the media about the bad, bad people coming to get him?
For a woman whose career is based on "battling sexism", she sure enjoys it when it benefits her. :hmm:
