    Off the top of my head I can think of 3 male Millionaires who have raised way more money for their games projects on kickstarter. No outrage

        @avantgame They were honest about being Millionaires, though. And used their own funds too.

        @_Nevermind that's bullshit actually. Honest how? I never saw financial disclosures.

        @avantgame Well, not disclosures, but all cases I know of included funding from project owners too. As in, "I'm adding 100k of my own money"

        @avantgame probably the ks was to empower the girl to get what she wanted by herself. The mom could pay, but that is no fun, no challenge

        @sergiojota @avantgame Mom did a whole lot of work though, spamming women's groups, celebrities on twitter with this pseudo-feminist story

        @HeyitsHenrik @avantgame moms tend to support their children. I *really* don't know the story or the real motivation, I can't judge

        @avantgame 49 dollars for game maker/69 for RPG maker vs 829 for camp. What makes the most sense?

        @avantgame The reason is the Money is going towards a Purchase of a Laptop and tuition for a Camp. Both act's are against TOS on Kickstarter

        @avantgame The Kickstarter is basically meant as a rich mom's way of teaching her daughter and her sons a "lesson in business". Insulting?

        @avantgame Not to defend the rampant sexism in society... But isn't $829 slightly less than a few million dollars. And somewhat less risky.
