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.

All that means, of course, is that people who support or claim to support social justice are people, and people tend to be fucked-up hypocrites

I think it also shows that rape culture is so deeply engrained that even people who would normally fight against it (and see themselves as the sort of person who ALWAYS fights against it) will immediately resort to the standard rape-culture rhetoric and rape-apologist arguments when it's a rape they can't be objective about, with one of their friends being accused.
