In 2013 Susan Wilson helped her 9-year-old daughter launch a Kickstarter fundraising campaign to fund her attendance at a $800 role playing game camp. There was a backlash. Wilson received hate mail and death threats.

"And out came the trolls. One group was convinced that this was a scam by a "millionaire" (Wilson once attended a fundraiser where she was photographed with Warren Buffet); the other was convinced that this was a radical feminist man-hatin' exercise determined to raise funds by pitting little boys against little girls."
