dude idgi why not make a charity thing instead

thats a thousand bux man

thats a lot of money and its for octopimp t shirts

from what I understand, you need a minimum amount to get shirts from a company! and it’s not just price per shirt, there’s a minimum you have to reach.

plus…people asked for them! so he gave it to them. what people want to spend their money on is their deal, really. 

this isn’t directed at you in particular, this is a general ‘you’, but… I really don’t understand why some people are so interested or upset about this. the shirts aren’t for you! they have nothing to do with you, they are for people that want to spend that money on a shirt with a design they like, so why care?

yeah, basically, here is what’s going on

a cool guy on the internet does fun, creative, sometimes artsy stuff in his spare time.  he amasses some fans because he’s personable, witty, and kind.

his fans say hey!!  we’d like some apparel!  it would make us happy!

he says, ok, sure, i would love to make this happen—it’s a win for both of us!  but i don’t have the capital to put into some shirts.  so I’ll use a system designed for this exact purpose in order to raise money from the people who want to give it to me in exchange for specific goods!

then for some reason a bunch of people flip out and get angry for reasons that honestly confuse me and I would really like to see explained?

which is actually kind of scary to me because there are several personal projects i’m working on that I was considering trying to fund through kickstarter and now I dunno how I feel about that :(
