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 a big difference between the terse emails that don't reveal much personal about Kynn and the relationship and the AIM logs. Also I do not get the Morissey jab or why that's relevant. Is this a "Jack is crazy" thing? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nods That's true - I was just thinking that I suspect Kynn's army will pull the "Well, Jack broke confidentiality first" thing. I have no idea what they Morissey thing was about, no. That was very strange, and did seem like an attempt to discredit Jack. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I should note—I don't think the email publication is right as a matter of course, but I think it's one of those things that's a judgment call that someone has to make for themselves... I don't know if that makes any sense at all. Ends, means, community safety, you name it. waves hands You know? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nods Right - I'm thinking about the same, I don't think it was right for Jack to do that but I can understand why he did. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Kynn has herself posted private emails in the past. I supported it at the time, and still think she was right to do so - the person with whom she was having a very public debate suddenly and unilaterally declared it was time to go private, and I didn't think she had a right to do that. So whatever we think about it, Kynn believes posting private email is sometimes appropriate.
