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.

	Also, "Woe, now I'm suicidal!" makes me want to punch her in the teeth. I've had that threat used on me by an abusive partner and seen it done to others, it's a frighteningly common tactic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That one seriously pisses me off. My mother used it constantly - "I'll kill myself, and it'll be all your fault". It's an incredibly common tactic, and I have fuck-all sympathy for people who use it. Plus, there is something extra-evil about making your victim feel bad for the fact you raped them.

	+1. My abuser did the same thing. Seems like she said it to emotionally manipulate Jack and then posted it to emotionally manipulate the rest of the people on the web. Seems like she doesn't realize there are a LOT of abuse survivors, and we've SEEN that one before. is disgusted (Reply to this)(Parent)

	This. I have had...many emotionally abusive disgusting people in my life because in the past I thought I deserved no better, and that fucking bullshit is as common as dirt. (Reply to this)(Parent)
