This book will sell more copies now that it's been banned by Kickstarter.
I'm curious how the funding was going before this, I can't imagine it was getting much traction.
I quantify this as a paranoid over reaction by Kickstarter, if the post wasn't breaking any of their terms of service.
- Zelphyr 13y agoAgreed and now about a million more people will have heard about this project that otherwise probably wouldn't have. This reminds me a little of when The Last Temptation of Christ came out in the late 80's. All the bible-thumpers were screaming about how blasphemous it was and that everyone should boycot it. Which, of course, people being people they did the exact opposite and had to endure what turned out to be a pretty bad film.

- tbirdz 13y ago>I'm curious how the funding was going before this, I can't imagine it was getting much traction. The kickstarter blog post mentions that they couldn't stop the project from receiving funds, so the project must have been fully funded for that to happen. I don't know how much they were asking for, and whether or not they got more funding than they requested, though. EDIT: It seems they made $16,369 pledged of $2,000 goal.
