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.

Except... they weren't scening. That's been explicitly stated - "http://ravan.dreamwidth.org/539471.html?thread=1246031#cmt1246031">A and B did not have a D/s dynamic and there was no "scene" or other context in which no wouldn't mean no."</a>

Not to single you out, you're just the comment I got to when I finally got to "Argggghhh", but that's been bugging me a lot - someone said it was about kink, and then that got picked up and reposted everywhere. I know people are *defending* kink, but there's still the idea that this happened because of kink.

BDSM had nothing to do with it. It has to do with why Jack can't go to the cops, but nothing to do with the actual rape itself.

	I misread then. I made the assumption based on what other people had said and also Alexandra's post. (Reply to this)(Parent)
