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.

I certainly hope you're not directing that at me. I never said that BDSM causes rape. I never implied that BDSM causes rape. I said that people who are not aware of the nuances of BDSM have no business involving themselves in a D/s relationship. I said this under the assumption that the relationship mentioned above was a D/s relationship and that one partner was saying they were raped and the other was saying that there had been no intention. I then also mentioned that intention or not, rape is rape.

I would never condemn a lifestyle that I myself practice as something that causes harm, trauma, rape, etc., etc.

	I said "People", not "mefan". There are a lot of people being dickheads. I did not say you were one of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)
