I never said that.

It's just one rule of several she broke.

Spamming her Kickstarter page on Twitter is against Kickstarter rules. Why you still defend that decision is beyond me.

Can you please tell us what the differences are between the Indiegogo project and the similar case in Amazon?

Actually, yeah. Going door-to-door selling cookies, setting up a lemonade stand, doing chores for neighbors, and so on would teach her the value of a dollar better than setting up some crappy Kickstarter project and begging the Internet the same way a kid begs his/her parents.

I see what you mean, and I can sort of see it that way.

Ignore the death threats. They're from really stupid people.

Let's say you saw a person out on the street playing a guitar and had an overturned hat for people to toss change into. If I put a dollar into that hat, are you going to go out of your way to convince me to take that dollar back? Are you going to try and emphasize that the person playing the music does not need or…

Are you serious? You're seriously going to ignore previous projects where she was obviously scamming people? Come on, man.

yeah, I know. I'm just saying at least there's a good reason for it, namely that she looks like a scammer and people hate scammers.

Look up the thread at NeoGAF that's been going the rounds in this comment section. This one.

9 year old girl asks for $900 to go to videogame camp — SCAM!!!!!! GIRLS DON'T PLAY VIDEOGAMES!!!!!

People are trying to drive others away from donating to something that comes off as a scam in order to protect others from getting caught in this crap. Why don't you understand this?

You don't seem to understand that the people who call her a scammer aren't doing it for themselves, but are doing it for the good of others so that everyone else would be informed and make sure they're not exploited. That's the real point, not just that scammers shouldn't get free passes.

She's not really teaching her kids the value of money and hard work if she's saying "ask the Internet for money! They'll pay no matter what." It's really just as bad as asking Mommy for money and being spoiled. It's just coming from a different source.

To me, it comes off as "don't beg your parents for money. Beg the Internet instead!" Therefore, the kid doesn't really learn anything valuable and she's just as uninformed and spoiled as she was before.

So what? She doesn't need to make herself look like the "do-gooder victim of the internet" when she's the one who brought this upon herself in the first place by taking part in this and other similar schemes. I think what she should do is close the Kickstarter while she still has time and not take the money. She said…

Ignore the death threats. The point of this whole thing is that she IS in fact scamming people AND violating Kickstarter guidelines to get what she wants. Rich woman or not, no one deserves any sympathy for bringing it upon herself.

You fell for it. You and Kotaku itself.

The internet's pretty bad, true. But if anything, we should be a little more suspicious of the woman who started this. Look at the projects she tried to start in Kickstarter and Indiegogo under her name. Neither side is particularly clean here. Keep that in mind.
