Safari doesn't load Kickstarter properly?

The error "NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKED" indicates that one of the certificates in the certificate chain was revoked. The kickstarter site works for other users here though.

Either the kickstarter (*c.ssl.fastly.net) or the root/intermediate certificate (Global Sign Root/Global Sign CloudSSL CA) was revoked erroneously or temporarily. The revocation is still stored in your ocsp/crl cache.

After deleting the caches the chain of certificates (and https://kickstarter.com) should work again:

in 10.11 or older open Terminal and execute:

sudo rm /var/db/crls/*cache.db

in 10.12 (Sierra) use this command instead:

sqlite3 ~/Library/Keychains/*/ocspcache.sqlite3 'DELETE FROM ocsp;'

After deleting the cache reboot your Mac.

The URL https://www.kickstarter.com is not broken for Safari Version 10.0.3 (12602.4.8) out of the box.

You are clearly getting bad web content to render and the suggestions in the comments are all spot on:

  1. This can be caused by web filtering / MITM (man-in-the-middle) type network meddling. You can test for that by taking your Mac to another network (coffee shop, public library, another country (not China or North Korea for instance).
  2. JavaScript blockers could cause this. Disabling JavaScript does change the rendering of Kickstarter for me, but the breakage is far less than what you report. Yours looks like the CSS isn't even loading.
  3. Check for CSS changes/overrides you have made to your browser or system.
  4. Web Privacy plug in (or network level controls) could cause this.
  5. Bad settings on your user account could cause this. To test that, make a brand new user account.

From your testing on Chrome vs Safari - it's highly likely you have a hostile network and/or software on your Mac that's rewriting the web content being served to you and breaking it.
