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.

Apparently there's been more activity on rpg.net (both a thread and ruling I missed before it was deleted) on the rape and not the game; these bits on Trouble Tickets are interesting --

	I applaud the mod's judgment, as I often do. Regardless of the reality of the situation the last thing RPGnet needs right now is to discuss rape allegations against one of their members. But her constant 'you're not mad, right? I'm still cool, right?" is disgusting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh, completely agreed on both counts. And if she keeps on finding new ways to pester the mods she just might wind up earning a permaban in the long run anyway. (Reply to this)(Parent)
