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.

	Holy fucking shit. There are not words to describe how horrible she is. I feel so, so sorry for Jack and I hope he's getting the support he needs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I am really, really hoping that the support they have been getting (and apparently that has been coming across) is healing for him. I wish I could say I didn't know what being trapped in that kind of relationship felt like but instead reading those chat logs I was all: "...Mom, is that you?!"

IDEK. Poor Jack. I got into something similarly toxic when I was about his age and the only thing that ended it was me having a breakdown. When you're that age, I think, it feels like you can fix anything if you just TRY.
