> a comic book posted on Kickstarter that explicitly condones and encourages solving political differences with violence, this breaking their ToS. In particular, this work encouraged violence against fascists, so it's a relatively defensible position, but it's totally not as clear cut as you make it out to be.
I think this is totally a matter of the ToS and what it says, and in those terms the matter seems entirely clear cut. In terms of the ToS it (the comic book) seems in no way defensible.
Aside from that, I don't see how anyone can claim to be against solving political differences with violence if they make exceptions to that rule.

- PinguTS 7y agoThe thing is Kickstarter don’t give f* on their own TOS. I know I simply paraphrase here: their own TOS says, that there are no copycat products allowed. They need to have huge improvement over the original. The other day they had a featured product, which I immediately recognized as simple copycat of a typical Chinese product. I know the German FBA version. I pointed that out to Kickstarter. They told me, no it isn’t because it has a major improvement. The major improvement was that it was simply missing a feature and the imitated wood housing was a different imitated wood. TL/DR as long as it brings money in Kickstarter don’t care about their own TOS.
