It's not about whether I like it or not. It's about people being hypocritical and giving him a pass while criticizing others for doing the same thing. For some reason Sanderson is untouchable.


It's not hypocritical at all to support some kickstarters and not others, irrespective of how much money they raise. Sanderson has an established history of delivering books, and people trust him to deliver the promised books. Some random guy without an established reputation is going to encounter much more skepticism.

Reputations matter. It's a fact of being human.


Who are being hypocritical? Are you sure it's not different people having different opinions?
