well they hit their goal already but it was pretty modest, the product already exists (you can buy them on tmall already minus the wireless controllers) so it's not like it was funding R&D or anything, just a glorified group buy
Unfortunately, that joy is being tempered by the current push by right wing extremists who are actively pushing to stifle LGBTQ youth. They claim allowing LGBTQ youth to be themselves is grooming children.
Let's be clear. LGBTQ youth exist just like heterosexual youth. Preventing LGBTQ youth from participating in the same social and dating rituals as heterosexual youth is child abuse.

One of the things that warms my heart the most right now is seeing young people feeling safe enough to come out publicly at a younger age. This may not seem like a big deal to some but you have to remember that, when I was in school, LGBTQ kids could not go on dates, dances, or prom. So seeing a gay high schooler ask another gay student to prom, makes my heart swell with happiness.

Happy #NationalComingOutDay!
LGBTQ people come out every single day. We first come out to ourselves. It usually follows a period of panic, prayer, and pretending. Once we accept ourselves we search for allies; trustworthy friends and family members. As adults, we continue to come out to neighbors, coworkers, doctors, our children, and others.

i suppose though products from China being inflated in price on western marketplaces is pretty much par for the course, just looked on Amazon UK and sellers were asking 40-50 quid for a SF2000 so maybe in that light this isn't too bad
the sticking point for me is the lowest tier that gets you one is $69 for today only & then it goes up to $89
considering the console part is basically the same as the $20 SF2000, is it really worth that much extra for an admittedly very cool looking powerbank version
interesting kickstarter just launched. basically an emulator handheld/magnetic wireless power bank combo device. there have already been wired power bank emulators and wireless power bank famiclones this year but this is the first one ticking both boxes
