Armikrog - The Neverhood developers making a new game
But just because I wouldn’t vote for the guy if he ran for office doesn’t mean I won’t buy his game, or that I’m not a fan of his work. I can keep those things separate.
I agree with this.
I have the same issue with one of my favourite writers. Just because Orson Scott Card is a homophobic bigot, doesn’t mean I can’t be a fan of his books and short stories…
You don’t have to like them as people to enjoy their work…
The truth can’t hurt you, it’s just like the dark: it scares you witless but in time you see things clear and stark. - Elvis Costello
Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
Many of the artists (musicians, actors, painters etc.) I like or used to like turned out to be real pricks, so yeah… you just have to not think about them as persons and enjoy their art 
But just because I wouldn’t vote for the guy if he ran for office doesn’t mean I won’t buy his game, or that I’m not a fan of his work. I can keep those things separate.
I don’t think i agree with that, at least not completely.
I might still buy his games, but i would never be a Fan of someone with such extreme views, and i would most definitely think twice about supporting any Kickstarters.
If you compare this to big companies, then they put a big effort into maintaining a certain image and having a so-called social profile. They aren’t doing this just because they want to be nice, no they are doing this because they know that a negative image can hurt them big time, that there is a risk that consumers might even boycott them in worse case scenario.
I don’t really see why artists should be an exemption from these mechanisms, i’m of course not talking about someone who just have a different political view than my own, or someone who makes some “mistakes”, and i am prepared to give artists more leeway then lets say a politician, but someone who is:
He’s also been known to openly mock people for believing in evolution as if the scientists of the world are all gullible morons. He’s basically a bible-thumping far-right-wing conservative who happens to express his views in some extremely obnoxious ways. He’s very Ann Coulter-like, but with a religious bent.
I have to agree with Bastich on this one.
You have to play the game, to find out why you are playing the game! - eXistenZ
Hefty goal but it looks great
Backed it. Very excited!
Hefty goal but it looks great
Its nothing considering how painstaking it is, specially considering how perfectly
they are nailing it. I hope they make it, cannot afford to miss this.

The goal is still hefty, even if it is justified (and I think it is). I sure hope they make it.
Does look very good and I back most Kickstarter adventures but won’t back this one after seeing some of Doug TenNapel’s comments about gay people, which completely offend me.

What did he say? I would like to know before I think about backing this.
I have totally missed Neverhood, where can I get it? So I know if should back this project up
And about the homophobia or other undesirable characteristics in people: I don’t mind supporting good art even when it’s done by an idiot. But if they use unethical methods or really promote their narrowminded views in their product, then I will have an issue about it. I bet there are tons of stupid and downright bad people in the production of the entertainment I use, so I can’t start a boycott from every rumour I hear. But it’s true, hearing about these does still affect me and makes me less eager to suppor them.

Yeah, so I’ve pledged for the $125 reward before even knowing what the project is or watching the video.
I think I might even go so far as to avoid all information about the game until I have it in my sweaty ecstatic hands.

They made a sweet little introduction animation, you should check it out. It’s like 20 seconds long or so, so I don’t think it’s anything that would spoil the final experience for you, but it’s pretty great.

TenNapel-0- THere are a lot worse things than not being able to marry your same sex.
he is cool.. i never had a problem with what he said, here.
