It had to be said, with the continued growth of geek culture and the cosplay scene... one dark side of it came in the form of crowdfunding. I'm all for crowdfunding campaigns, we've gotten some great things from crowd funding campaigns! Our friends over at Espionage Cosmetics launched their "Nailed It!" project, former Capcom developer Keiji Inafune successfully funded Mighty No. 9, and a good friend of the website revolutionized gaming with the GlomTom. So via sites like Kickstarter and Indigogo, this subculture has greatly benefited from the kindness of strangers.

But with every bright light comes a darker shadow... and this shadow comes in the form of blatant Go Fund Me campaigns. I won't get too into it... but via Ani-Mia's Facebook page, she dropped some serious truth bombs that had to be said.
