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 was livid. I'm a very protective person, and back then, Jim was my everything. (For the record, we're divorced but now good friends, Jim and I.) I immediately called Jim and told him what Kynn did. Jim turned to the casual game he and Kynn were both logged into and told her in front of the other people there online, "If you want to insult me, at least do it to my face." and then blocked Kynn. Jim said Kynn apparently tried to backpedal, or possibly do the "You chose to get offended! That's not my problem!" argument, but Jim stopped listening.

Jim's a much better man than Kynn ever figured and was more simply disgusted by it than hurt. He's long since forgotten about it now and doesn't really care. I know this was 10 years ago, but it still speaks to the mind of Kynn, I feel. She's willing to say/do anything she wants to further her own advantage or agenda.

	Kynn really has shown herself to be a reasonable, gentle human being, hasn't she. Someone in another thread was mentioning that she uses SJ for bullying people too. Which, if she used racism before, I'm not actually surprised by the switch. Someone who'll do that won't worry about being a massive hypocrite, especially if they can get kudos for it.

	Yes. This is a person who is a bully by nature, and has figured out that some forms of bullying actually get praise and pats on the back. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Whatever gets a reaction. (If it doesn't, try something else and/or escalate.) They don't necessarily have to believe any of it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Wow... I don't even... Wow... What absolutely horrid behaviour. I'm so glad I've never had the occasion to interact with Kynn online, as she sounds like the absolute worst mix of ignorant and arrogrant. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	That gels really closely with what alexadraerin was saying about Kynn pushing Jack's boundaries constantly, testing to see how much she could get away with. What a fucking psychopath. (Reply to this)(Parent)
