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.

	Perhaps, but it's super risky territory. No it isn't. You confess to finding it "distasteful". Fine, whatever, that's your prerogative. But since you don't do it and find it "distasteful", please stop trying to 'splain how it works. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Yes, actually, it is. At least in my opinion. In your opinion it isn't. Fair point.

Also, while you're asking me to "please stop trying to 'splain how it works" I'll ask the same of you -- please stop making assumptions about me, my comments and my experiences. I said that I find it distasteful and that I don't do it, not that I have no experience relating to the subject whatsoever.

You're making a blanket statement that it is "super risky territory", with no qualifiers whatsoever. You are telling me that something I do regularly with my partner (and which you do not do and which you dislike) is "super risky", when it is not. If you were to say that it would be for you, or that you believe it would be for most people, I would have no quarrel with you. But you are trying to claim something which is factually incorrect about my sex life here.
