By Request Extra: Comics Industry Individuals Sued By Cody Pickrodt Still Far Short Of Initial Goal
I am a little saddened by
the current state of this crowdfunding performance, even though I admire and respect the work done by its organizers and have every confidence it will somehow get done. It's amazing to me it may take extra effort. This is an absurd lawsuit. It is a Streisand effect case to the 100,000th power. It is initiated to suppress the exercise of speech. It is aimed at members of the comics community all of whom can be characterized in part by their lack of financial resources.
Since the per-donation amount seems high for comics, that suggests fewer people than might be expected have chosen to participate, at least so far. I can't think of a compelling reason why anyone in that community -- or simply interested in its cartoonists or their work -- would choose to sit this one out.
People should not be victimized, then choose to act bravely, then choose to support that bravery or otherwise look out for people within their community and then... be further victimized!
That's got to be worth ten bucks.
