Wait, it is my understanding that Don Bluth drew Daphne for Dragon's Lair. Can you actually stop people from using fan art which you made, for a character that you don't own, without permission of the original creator?

It's still technically her art, and I suppose she could try to argue that it's inappropriate use of her artwork made without her permission. She can use it in, say, a portfolio, but not for commercial purposes, though it depends mostly on the whim of whoever still owns the Space Ace Dragon's Lair IP (since the developers have long since gone belly-up).

I guess what I'm trying to say is that copyright laws are complicated.

Anita whatshername is a con artist, so it's not really a surprise to learn that she's a thief as well.

LOL feminists

It's still her art and she still holds all reproduction rights. The fact that someone else owns the character design severely restricts how she can use her artwork, but that doesn't grant anyone else extra rights.

From what I understand, her boyfriend is a feminist. Her job is manipulating people into giving her money. It's possible that she isn't even a feminist.

I'm seriously curious how long it'll take for people to realize that whatshername conned them. It's been more than a year now and from what I've seen she's put out three 20 to 25 minute videos in that time. There are people on youtube and blip who could match that output in a week, and yet nobody seems to want to call her out on this. Even with all the evidence about her past association with pyramid schemes with her boyfriend, her outright admitting in a clip from 2009 or so that she doesn't play video games, and the complete lack of evidence that she's spent a dollar of the kickstarter money on her video project. And now there's this art theft thing. I wasn't joking when I said she was a con artist. She's just milking money out of feminists with more money than sense.

Doing that makes you automatically a misogynist nerd.
Like that woman using her kids on Kickstarter. Saying something against her meant you hate kids AND women. And I swear I only hate kids.

Dobby relished his groinsaw's roar as he withdrew the flesh-choked blade from the astronaut's ruined skull. He turned to Harry, thrusting his bloody, retina-covered pelvis with elfin fervor.

"How does Ronnie Ron taste, master?"

Harry spat out an eyeball. "Like some kid with eyes."

Dobby ducked an astronaut's poison barbed fist, digging his groinsaw into the beast's abdomen and letting the spray of viscera wash over his elfin space armor. The skulls' eye sockets on his shoulders grew brilliant with an infernal cast and vomited a bolt of light through an astronaut; he was thrown back against the deathwall, his flesh boiling in another dimension.

Harry slapped Dobby, who giggled.

Harry reminded himself to kill himself later.

"Master, look out!"

Dobby's groinsaw screamed as it flew off the armor, rocketing through the air like an early dream of mankind. It flew through three astronauts who dropped their hellspears as the saw cut a hole in the ground beneath them so they fell to hell and the demonic spheres rape them to this day, boys and girls.

I wouldn't really say she fucked them over. Scammed them, yes, but her donators got what they wanted; the warm fuzzy feeling of paying money to fight the patriarchy. If the KS backers had actually cared about the videos she promised to make they would be getting angry now over the lack of delivery, but almost nobody is complaining.

True, but in almost all political movements once a particular project gets enough focus that people start seeing their ideological reflection in it, many individuals find it difficult to back away from anything other than 100% support and 100% confidence in it (see the way in which climate change, a science issue first raised in 1896 and utterly apolitical until about 15 years ago, has now divided so neatly over left-right lines - truly bizarre given the apolitical nature of the thing being studied; regardless of whether it's true or false, you'd expect to have only a minimal relationship between someone's views on, say, centralisation v deregulation, or tarrifs v free trade...let alone on whether gay marriage should be allowed).

Her KS backers are only a portion of her supporters, and I wouldn't be surprised if the loudest voices that dominate discussion didn't give a dime to her work. The project has become an ideological mirror to them, so people are worried that calling her out will be seen as attacking the principles the project claims to support. Others just wanted an ideological mirror and have gotten it, exactly as you suggest - especially if only a small proportion of the people talking up the project actually gave money to it.

This is magnified greatly when something becomes a disputed/'hotbutton' issue that people are really invested in. You might expect people who are financially orr emotionally invested to be the ones with the greatest interest in calling the project out, but they don't. Because 'the other side' is just as enthral to groupthink, they've started combining ideological opposition with raging on every alleged practical error - both sides end up just throwing random groups of claims together that individually seem to support their view, with no thought to whether those groups of claims are even consistent. Practical misgivings thus become indistuinguishable from ideological opposition, and everyone assumes that anyone who identifies a practical failing must also oppose the project's principles, and that anyone who says 'well, actually, that isn't an error after all' must support the project's principles.

Then when misgivings are raised by people who undeniably support the project's principles, the standard response is silence, as though vociferously attacking one's ideological opponents is enough to rebut the practical concerns of one's ideological friends.

And when the misgivings of impeachable supporters becoming too great to ignore, people just back away quietlly until a project drops from public consciousness.

I actually suspect that if more people backed her for the 'warm feeling of supporting a cause', rather than as something to file ranks and go to battle for, they'd be a lot quicker in calling her out over where the money has gone.

She's worked a good 10 hours on these videos the past year and you hate her for that? What do you have against women working?

Look at this misogynistic neckbeard trying to keep a woman down (which clearly means he wants to rape her).
