@20002ist@thepit.social @kims@mas.to Tangent:
My friend Derek wrote a semi-autobiographical book, Amoralman, based on some of the themes in a show he did.
Someone bought the book and hated it. In the ebay listing for the used copy, they ranted that the book revealed Derek to be sympathetic to LGBTQ people. They didn't want that trash in the house.
So Derek bought it, and resold it in his own ebay auction as "Amoralman: Human Rights Edition", with the proceeds going to an appropriate charity.
It sold for $20,000.

@mattblaze@federate.social @20002ist@thepit.social Huge fan of Derek. Saw _In & Of Itself_ three times and have given away a dozen or so copies of _Amoralman_ And as good as the book is, I think the audiobook is even better
