Nina Paley v. Cancel Culture
Skip to comments
Animator (Sita Sings the Blues), comic strip creator (The Hots), and all-round cartoonist Nina Paley had her most recent effort to self-publish foiled by IndieGoGo.
On Friday, the crowdfunding site IndieGoGo canceled a campaign by cartoonist, comic creator, and gender-critical radical feminist Nina Paley after the project had exceeded full funding. IndieGoGo told Paley that her work, titled Agents of H.A.G., did not comply with their “Terms of Use” without further clarification.
Paley posted on Twitter, “I successfully raised 150% of my comic book goal on @Indiegogo. The campaign officially ended Tuesday. I just ordered books from the printer. IndieGoGo just canceled the campaign, and refunded the donors, with no appeal. All the money, funders, orders, gone.”
Paley’s IndieGoGo was a return to the comic medium for the artist until the cancellation. Paley wrote on her blog, “This is just another chapter in the story of my cancelation that began in 2017” when she realized she was a gender-critical radical feminist.
Nina has more to say about the efforts to frustrate her cartooning.
IndieGoGo just canceled Agents of H.A.G, my first comic book in 30 years, AFTER the campaign successfully ended with 150% of goal. I already ordered books from the printer. Now all the money, all the orders, gone. No appeal, just gone.
She has recently taken to television interviews.
