Links submitted to Reddit are published through reddit. People use the platform to publish copyright materials.

actually it partially does. I doubt that most people who are uploading those images to reddit are the copyright holders of them.

the second part being they also lack a release form from the person(s) in the photos to publish them.

Kickstarter isn't supposed to be for "Testing the waters".

It's supposed to be for people who don't have the ability to get the financial backing to try and get it to to make their project. It's not meant for people who are well off, or established companies just to run pre-orders.

No one cares about Elan Lee. Oatmeal sent people there from the site. His artwork is all over it. No one has even seen Elan Lee's name, they're only focused on the Oatmeal. The exact same idea from someone else without oatmeal's involvement would have probably not even gotten funded.

You need to move overseas. Asia especially, thigh gaps as far as the eye can see.

That pre-dated gamergate and had nothing to do with it. upwards of 10% of all rape claims are patently false. Another 40% lack sufficient evidence to tell either way, so the amount of fake rapes reported to police could be anywhere from 10-50%

I certainly respect them for what they did, did I say anywhere that I didn't?
What I said was that a forced gender balance makes no sense. Some people are, to an extent, attracted to certain kinds of things. It isn't uniform, and there is no reason to expect it to be uniform across socio/economic/gender/nationality/etc across the world.

Right. If there's anything that's clear in the months after all this #GamerGate bullshit reached its apparent peak, it's that sexism and the bullying/harrassment of women is a fiction whipped up by angry feminists with a persecution complex.

I can't possibly imagine what would ever give anyone cause to think that...

News flash:
Not everything in this world is going to mimic the real demographics of the planet. If they idea is that we're all special snowflakes, we're sometimes going to find some people better suited to certain things than others. Unless there is evidence that the best person isn't being hired for the job, there is no gender gap. A gender gap is an artificial construct made by people who can't get past gender in the first place.

Unless the exact role is laid out in the release, she could claim she was told anything. If all the release says is that she allows the user of her image as the director sees fit, then she doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Seriously who gives a flying fuck. What does it really matter? Are you so far up the communists' asshole that you think everything on this planet is going to be completely 100% representative of the population of the planet?

Athletes train
not everyone who trains is an athlete.

If someone lets themselves go, they'll probably be useless at work too.. After lunch, tired, yawning, probably can't concentrate. Doesn't make them an "athlete" because they start hitting the gym to help stay awake.
