Heartbreak & Heroines
Kynn created a RPG called Heartbreak & Heroines, and used Kickstarter to get $3000 in funding in 48 hours. Over on LJ, Jack posted his response to his ex's success, in two minds because he's glad someone he knows did something cool, Kynn raped him. A couple days later, alexandraerin posts as well, expressing dismay at Kynn's behavior.

Jack posts Tweets from Kynn and later, emails,. At some point, the Kickstart for the RPG is canceled.

Some responses are laudable. Others, not so much.

ETA: Kynn tried to get a new name on RPG post-ban.

ETA2: Elf has a post about it.

ETA3: Kynn denies the rape happened.

There's also the sizable age gap. Jack is 24. Kynn is 43. I am not saying that relationships with such an age difference cannot work out or be healthy. However, in this case I think it further adds to why Kynn felt she was in a position to manipulate Jack and felt that she could get away with things she knew he clearly didn't want ("If he didn't want it, I'd know" defense is bullshit defense). The breasts-touching highlighted it to me since she felt so secure in her power that she exercised it publicly like that.

	The way Kynn was talking I thought she was a younger person with narcissistic tendencies and a compulsion to make themselves into a victim. Now I see they're an older person who is tremendously fucking manipulative, and that makes me want to vomit copiously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Yeah - while 24 is "grown up" (he says, coming to this aged 25-and-1-week) it can still be lacking in experience, especially with relationships. It depends on the person. Some people can be fine, some people can still be pretty much lacking in power.

43 has no fucking excuse. There isn't a way in the world a 43 year old can't be expected to be the reasonable, grown-up one.

	Yeah, things take on a whole new spin when it's not two twenty-somethings battling on the internet. (Reply to this)(Parent)
