Clementine Ford Will Curse Men for Donations

[Darth Wedgius]

Clementine Ford is no longer employed, and is requesting Patreon donations to continue her work. Like many on Patreon, she seems to be offering rewards for donations, in this case in the form of putting curses on men.

Though she may have some points about freedom of the press (or not; I don't know how seriously to take her side of events), if you have money you want to use to support this cause, I'm sure you can find details on-line. I'm not sure if you get to chose the men to curse, or if she does and you just have to be satisfied knowing the victim is male.

I'm not an expert, but I doubt this is tax-deductible.

Speaking from knowledge of philanthropy, even if Patreon wasn't a for-profit entity, you can't claim this as a tax deduction because she is providing you with a service (cursing the men in question) in exchange for your money.

Well if they were curses pertaining to Voodoo...

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahha!

Awww..... Does the poor bigot have to maybe work for a living now? Well, at least she isn't going to be unpersoned the way so many other people whose lives have been destroyed by people like this, so she might actually be able to land a job.

I kinda have no idea who this person is, but I'm pretty sure I've heard of Patreon taking the initiative on stuff like this to stop people from getting paid for bigotry what not.
