I hate those fucking shirts so much.  If I had a son, and he walked in wearing a shirt with "otaku mafia" on it, I would stop loving him.

If I was your kid, I'd wear said shirt just to goad you into doing that and showing how much of a fool you are

It's not wise to poke fools with sticks. They usually carry bigger sticks.

How would that show how much of a fool I am?

As it becomes cyclical, you cross the line from Fool to Damnfool.

If your the parent, wear the shirt yourself. Wear it everywhere with your child to embarrass them.

Because you failed to prevent your child from becoming a member of the Otaku Mafia.

Yeah, those guys play for keeps.

And for Pokemon cards.

Mostly Pokemon cards.

I guess I should've talked to him about anime.  When I was growing up, your peers pretty quickly taught you what interests were and weren't okay to share with people.  Now we've got the reddits and the tumbles and you can find unconditional acceptance no matter what ridiculous things you do.

Terrible state of affairs.

Bur Reddit told me that my furry porn addiction was ok!  Everyone does it!

Son, we need to have a talk.  In your teenage years you will be tempted, and you may end up throwing your life away.

Firstly, drugs.  Be responsible.  Learn the risks and how to take them safely, to make sure that you and your friends are not put in unnecessary danger.  Never take them in an environment where you feel unsafe.

Secondly, sex.  Be careful.  You should always use protection, and be ready to deal with the consequences.  I cannot insist on chastity before marriage, but it should really be with someone you love and respect.

Finally, and most importantly, anime.  Not even once.

This is pretty much the worst that Kickstarter can go wrong.

One man burns through $100,000+ and decides it's impossible to complete the project. What did that money go to?

paying to form the company, for the miniature statues, moving back to Portland, getting software licenses and hiring artists to do things like rule book design and art conforming

No-one's really sure. Popular opinion is that everything not accounted for in that quote went to (unemployed) personal living costs, because obviously not all of it was required for the above.

He's promised to return all of their money when he can.

Here's the other thing: The Kickstarter project was for the board game, not starting a company.

Many people have already contacted offices responsible for handling fraud.

I'm interested to see how this turns out.

It'd be irresponsible to try and sell a commercial product without forming a company. Especially since he was hiring freelancers to work on the product.
