@CottonTales
Tara Strong and Lauren Faust are now in the project, plus they plan to travel making interviews and getting a deep Q&A instead of focusing only on the convention.

Oh okay I guess I could see how that could more than triple the original cost

Imagine if this money was going to an actually worthwhile cause.

I'm pretty sure if it wasn't considered a worthwhile cause it wouldn't have gotten so much money.

Anon 637:
Technically, even if Anon 586 doesn't do any charity, that doesn't mean the money couldn't go to help other people in ways that are more crucial to life or quality-of-life.

Simply, the fact that Anon 586 doesn't give water doesn't mean that people don't need it.

The better argument would be to say that it's your money, and it's your prerogative to spend it in whatever way you'd like.

But just because it isn't going to help save the whales or children in Africa doesn't mean it doesn't have any merit.

You have to weigh it as it is. Most people are giving $10 or $20 towards this. Thing is that a lot of people are doing that. Some are giving thousands of dollars.

Who's to say that they aren't giving another $10 or $20 to charity? Or to someone they know personally that could really use $10 or $20 for something? Heck, if people are giving thousands of dollars for a documentary, then they are probably in a position financially and in terms of influence that would require them to give even more in charitable efforts for PR purposes.

To sum, Anon 562 is right. $100,000 can do a lot of good to a lot of people that is lower on Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

sigh is right in that people who give see it as something that they want to give their money to.

Anon 637 used an inflammatory response that is logically unsound, but makes a point of focusing on one's own values instead of focusing on the values of others' and their related decisions.

And I'm in the wrong because I'm arguing on the Internet again.

For a bunch of "retarded basement-dwellers immature pedophiles" we sure have money and powerful people on board!
After this, maybe the mainstream will drop some of their prejudices.
