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.

Yeah. I'd call pretty much half their exchange emotional abuse from Kynn's side. Kynn is acting so stereotypical for an abusive spouse in her own logs that I'd have a hard time taking it serious in fiction if I hadn't experienced similar behavior in real life.

The worst part is, if she thinks THAT somehow excuses her...what would she consider damning enough to hide?

	The first logs were like a horrible flashback to a friend I had to sit down and have a really long talk about what emotional abuse was. (Reply to this)(Parent)
