Usually Kickstarters and stuff like that have a system in place where you get a service or a product in exchange for your donation, so it's not really a handout. I can understand why she feels this way though since Willam's kickstarter for the Beatdown reached 5x its goal...

Willam's kickstarter for the Beatdown reached 5x its goal...

We get extra content, though? It's like we're getting two seasons of Beatdown instead of 1, and Willam gives you things in exchange of donating stuff.

[–]gbinasiaDetox Icunt 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yea, but I guess the problem is that he was asking 10 000$ for a whole season, and then 3000$ for additional episodes. The maths don't really add up, which is why I think Manila has that opinion. Not that I care. I'm all for more Beatdown!

"I ain't giving these out, the song says buy my tshirt!"

I remember this during her tour, and thinking what a great gimmick!

I think these are PERSONAL attacks and they ain't cute. Have you seen the goodies from Courtney Act's Kickstarter? And she's delivering good music (Sam Sparro is AWESOME). If people think she deserves it, so be it. She'll reach the goal and i'll be the first to stand up for ovations.

She's been shady to the AA Girls (which features Willam and Courtney), so I think there's something going on.

And i'm sorry, Manila. Courtney and Willam's voice and performances are like 1919281928192810281x better than yours. I really root for your success, but why so bitter?

[–]NyxiaKim Chi 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

That's all I see from her these days. Literally last 3 posts of hers that I've noticed on social media was her drawing Pearl, Violet and Fame looking pissed off and writing 'smile' underneath to be shady (which Violet then reposted on her wall saying Manila drew some new fanart LOL), then her trying to come for Mimi Imfurst and now this. I used to live for Manila but she's making it really hard to like her these days, sadly.

Wow. Comparing fundraising to cover funeral costs to "Give me money, because I want it!" is pretty gross.

[–][deleted] 38ポイント39ポイント  (0子コメント)

Who fucking cares? I don't get this attitude. If an artist wants to ask their fans to help out with a project, and the fans are happy to do it, why is that anyone else's business? It just comes off as bitter because no one is giving you money - which they probably would if you just asked. Closed mouths don't get fed!

[–]notbarneyandfriendsAlaska Thunderfuck 5000 18ポイント19ポイント  (1子コメント)

I don't ask for handouts*

*Literally wrote a song called "buy my t shirt" and gets audience members to buy her shirt during it while she performs

Is her BOTS act really any different than a kickstarter? Both things ask for money and the fan gets something in return, in her case its a shirt and in Willam and Courtney's case it's cool rewards that fans would enjoy?

Exactly! And in addition to multiple rewards for your donation you get the finished product of Willam's Beatdown and Courtney's EP. It's not a handout by any means, it's paying for a service you enjoy.

recording a EP costs around 5k (with average production) asking for 20k is too much. Adore went off drag race and released a full lenght album (and is recording a new one) without begging anyone to give her dollars.

The pizza thing is referring to the whole religious freedom debacle, in which one of the first places to say they will not serve gay weddings due to their religious beliefs was an Indiana pizza place (thereby losing out on the multimillion dollar industry that is pizza catering to gay weddings rite?), long story short they got told to sit down, a bunch of homophobes and "people who genuinely just care about religious freedom" donated thousands of dollars to them in a kickstarter. (And in return, a bunch of other people started #Pizza4Equality to raise cash for homeless LGBT youth).

[–]AvieLikesThis 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

bunch of homophobes and "people who genuinely just care about religious freedom" donated thousands of dollars to them in a kickstarter.

It ended up being $800K +. I'm ashamed that people gave damn near a million dollars to that crap. And what did they do? Give some to cops and firefighters, and another store who won't wait on LGBT people.

I wonder if the pizza thing is about the pizza shop running a gofundme after they made the mistake of talking to a newspaper reporter about how they'd never cater a gay wedding because it's against their religion, and they (surprise!) got backlash.

The stupidest part of it is...who's really gonna ask a pizza joint to cater their wedding?

Shouldn't Manila be working for World of Wonder, like Raja, Raven, Pandora, or Alyssa Edwards? Maybe put out another album?

Drag queens work for whatever money people feel like giving them. Manila suddenly making an issue of it smacks of jealousy. After all, I'm not sure if I'd watch Manila's Beatdown, but I put my funds toward /u/willambelli's.

[–]NuWaveSpecial 11ポイント12ポイント  (6子コメント)

Jinkx had a campaign to help fund Drag Becomes Her. That seemed reasonable. Nobody is forcing anyone to donate to anything. Now where I don't like kickstarter is when companies use it. Like the one to fund a Veronica Mars movie. I also even don't like the one with that Small Town Boy gay country/pop singer. He should have just gotten a record deal directly.

[–]NuWaveSpecial 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well last time I'd checked his album seemed like it would never come out and I'd read some people were frustrated. And it just did end of last month. I guess there's not much difference. Except the expense structure of albums vs movies are different. Jinkx probably does have more money I'd think but maybe the documentary producers don't. Also there is probably more money is selling music than in shuttling a documentary around to film festivals.

[–]nonailsnodragTatianna 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I have cared about certain kickstarters/gofundmes that involved deceitfulness like this person my friend knows that was asking for money for surgery for her mother to save her life-when in reality her mother was already dead and buried and she just was trying to milk money out of people and created the gofundme after her mother already died.

That kind of shenanigans is trifling. My friend reported her.

But if she is referring to say Alexis who was up front about what the money was to be used for and will use it for that purpose-then people are not being tricked into donating. They are doing so because they want to and that is hurting nobody.

She tweeted once about being able to do/wear (I forget) something because she's really a dude. I replied "Of course, anyone who wants to can, regardless of gender. Love your work! X. =)" (or words to that effect, it was definitely light hearted with no shade) and she went IN on me. Really nasty and unwarranted response about how she could point out all my faults etc. Everyone who saw her response were shocked. She lost a fan that day.

[–]TschaetTatianna 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Manilla's ass needs to have several seats. The more she voices her opinion post-RPDR, the less I like her. Why the fuck does it concern her? I really don't get this attitude. It's not as if you have to support the Kickstarter. Don't like the project or don't agree with using it for these purposes? Then don't donate to that project or give it more promotion.

I mean, good for her for using her money to produce her own music. I mean, given how awful her music is, I'd say it was a complete waste, but good for her. She's welcome to use Kickstarter herself to fund future music projects, but first she'll need to show she has some actual singing talent or songwriting talent before I put any money behind that.

Agree and disagree. If you have a strong record of producing great entertainment/art that nearly always costs to invest in, and you happen to be low on cash but brimming with ideas, go for it.

But when people like courtney act wants 60k to do an album, we know 45k of that money is going to her bank. And willam 20k to make a web-series with a cameraman and some green screen editing. #toomuch.

But some genuiney needs the cash to make their ideas come to fruition, like trinity k bonet and alexis mateo, with relatively low asking demand such as 2k. Much more respectable in my opinion. Cause you know all of those 2k are going in the right place and where fans expect them to go.

[–]BrooshDetox Icunt 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

But when people like courtney act wants 60k to do an album

Wasn't her kickstarter asking for $20k? And if you 'donated' $10 you got the album? I don't think that's unfair.

I don't know, I think Willam could increase production value greatly with the kickstarter funds.

Dont like willam... Its like high-school humor, willam:" that girl is so weird, lolz, look at her! Fucking weird as fuck!" Hahaha?

Willam:"Now lets look at this faggot, lol! He is so fucking gay, prancing his arms around! Look at that fag. Next!" Also, am i supposed to laugh?

I personally dont need high production values for that. Found it kinda funny and the jokes were actually good when he had the stylish vids team behind him... But on his own channel... No...

Im much more of a fame boy myself :---) taking his tacky hashtags to heart ;---D #kindnessiscool!

Just thought a bit about it, and i can see the 20k being justified in willams mind. 3k for louis vuittons, 11k for new outfits. 6k for productions.

Or he can do like pearl/max and look for cheaper clothes and making them high couture and beautiful without being so stuck on labels.

The expression is "Just do you." Not "Just do what other people do." Willam likes designer clothing. Who cares? And as someone who contributed to his kickstarter, I would assume that some of it will go to some new clothing. Because every show needs a wardrobe, and I love seeing what he decides to wear each week.

It's basically just buying the album in advance, in order to make it possible to make the album in the first place.

And what's wrong with Courtney making a profit off her album if her backers are satisfied with what they got for their $10? This is her job and she's got bills to pay, too.

This is just it! Some of these comments are coming off like the queens should be doing this for charity and any money they are putting in their pockets at the end is basically blood diamonds.

It's a pretty common and unfortunate attitude towards people in artistic professions in general. But the art doesn't come if all your time and energy is going into a 9 to 5. Musicians, graphic designers, etc. are asked to work for free all the time because it's "fun."
