And here I was, thinking, why bring up the "single dad" thing. Oh! Must be to make the guy seem more in need of funding - if we donate to his kickstarter project, we'll be helping not just him but his child(ren?). I don't like it.

Yeah. I am very wary of anything on Kickstarter, there's nothing to stop them from simply walking with the money or producing a crap game in a day. I prefer to donate my money to reputable charities.
I find it legitimately interesting that I am getting downvotes for disagreeing with the illusion of a perfect world where everyone is honest.
If I were to venture a guess, it's got more to do with the presentation of those ideas, rather than their substance.
