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.

	The sheer fucking nerve. What's wrong with this person? Aside from the whole rapist championing fuck-head thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He /seems/ to be reacting very badly to Alexandraerin, in the "you read off to me" sense, /and also/ to be very ignorant of abusive relationships and dynamics.

The first is... annoying but vaguely understandable, and the second just makes me happy for him, in an incredibly irritable kind of way.

He's walked himself back a bit, in Elf's post. He's still irritating the fuck out of me, though.

	Do we know what Raven IDs as? I'd assumed female and seen everyone else saying "She", but... it's the internet, I assume everyone's a woman until they tell me otherwise. They self-describe as a "bitch" in their profile and they're in Geek Girls Anon, but neither of those is definitive. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh. Oops. I think that'd be indicative of female. Sorry Ravan! (For that part.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fair enough - yours was the first one I'd seen using "he", so I wondered if something had been posted ,or if you were just going "best guess" like the rest of us. (Reply to this)(Parent)
