CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens

Yep. That and numerous Propworx auction announcements in recent weeks.

 

It's not normal for people to have haters at all, let alone enough haters to get a Kickstarter kicked. And it's even weirder that there's no attempt to explain the situation and mend fences with Kickstarter, getting it back up where it presumably belongs. It's almost as if they're up to dodgy shit and further violating their agreement with CBS.

But they're not doing that, are they?

Morons.

 

Is it correct Peters just got booted from Dragon Con again after being booted out last year too?

 

Yeah that's been there for a while.

 

What what? Where was this reported?

 

I'm just still on the email list (several of the email lists, it seems). Here's the message I was talking about.

 

The grift that keeps grifting.

Setting up their own kickstarter that they control and has no independent scrutiny so credulous punters can give further donations to cover their outstanding unfulfilled pledges. *chef’s kiss*

 

They're back up to 2-3 emails a day now. There was a quiet time a few months ago, but they're back in full force now.

 

I can't imagine there can be much money left to squeeze out of Axanar fans, one would have to think even the most hardcore would have said "that's enough until they show me something" by now.

 

That's why they've gone to doing auctions. Donations aren't enough anymore. It looks like AP is selling off warehouses of his personal collection to keep afloat. While that will likely give him a quick front-loaded infusion of cash, it is a finite resource.

 

Sunk cost fallacy really sucks, as well as the belief that Peters was right the whole time, while CBS is wrong and evil for picking on him.

 

Rent must be due then.

 

I see there is a new post on Axanar blog debunking "lies" about the project:
https://axanar.com/the-first-duty-debunking-the-lies-about-axanar/

 

Reading this current version of "the truth" whilst knowing what AP used to claim is quite the risk of getting whiplash.
For instance, I was clearing out some old folders yesterday and came across a screenshot of him defending receiving a salary, something he ardently denies these days:

 

Incredible. I love how the defence of the second point admits they planned to rent out the facility constructed with donor money.

 

"1) Be nice. Always take the high road." I know the term is overused but I actually literally laughed out loud at that one and didn't go any further down.

 

If you made a movie there wouldn't be so many "lies" to debunk.
