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 definitely get that. I'm just worried that if person A says, "It happened because it was a BDSM relationship" and person B says, "It WASN'T a BDSM relationship", what's implied is that if it had been a kinky relationship then person A's point would be valid. Which it wouldn't.

Person B needs to be saying, "Actually, this relationship didn't have BDSM elements, but even if it did, that wouldn't excuse what Kynn did. Rape isn't tolerated in the BDSM communities and her behaviour would still be horrible if it had been a kink situation."

	That's fair enough. I figured all the people saying "That's not how it works in BDSM" would be enough. (Reply to this)(Parent)
