The point is that it's unethical as this family has zero reason to start a crowdfunding project other than to exploit it and make money. This is not a funding project, this is a profit project. They're trying to make a profit off of their children. A joke is a joke, and a goofy project is a goofy project, but at least there's no question about what it is. If people want to contribute to something blatant like that, be it as a goof or because they think it's funny, that's legitimate and not unethical. But to have this chick spamming countless celebrities and running it as a business just to play on people's SYMPATHIES or to make them FEEL like they're contributing to some sort of social issue, posting stuff about women's issues and talking about how you're helping to prove to a young girl that women have power, blah blah blah, that's entirely fucking different. That's dishonest and shady. I'm not saying they can't do it. Anybody can do anything they feel like, whether it flies in the face of social convention or not. But it's fucking scummy and I won't not call her a useless bitch when I hear about it. Those other people's goofy projects were funny. I got a giggle out of them, and they weren't trying to lie to anyone, or make people feel like they were contributing to some larger thing. I have no tolerance for exploitationist bullshit. I find the whole thing really unpleasant.
