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.

	Oh, but it is if you're a "feminist", because then you can claim anyone who tells you not to do things is oppressing you. Apparently, being told not to rape is just like being passed over for promotion or paid less than a man. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Actually, given the stuff I was reading on my game messageboard the other day, I think some men think that too. These guys should get together, they have a lot in common. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, misogynists and rape apologists are all the same under the skin. It's been kind of scary and yet enlightening to see all that come out in something that's this embedded in the SJ community on LJ. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Someone demanded a female only server (probably a troll given how it was worded) and they were flipping out and saying this is just like those horrible bitches who wear skimpy clothes and get all pissed when they look at them, among other things. I've forced myself to stop reading that thread. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	For a minute I wondered if we go to the same one. Mine has a thread about whether "false rape" should be punished as badly as "real rape". I have no idea what's said in it, I'm not touching that thing with a 40' pole. (Reply to this)(Parent)
