What kills me about this is that the people defending him are somehow convinced that anyone is entitled to RP, but I'm pretty damn sure that no law book anywhere, in any country, lists "roleplaying a character on a forum on the internet" as one of your inalienable rights granted to you by existing. No one is entitled to be in an RP game if the players and mods of that game do not want them there. Mods, on the other hand, are entitled to keep anyone out of a game they've worked hard to build and maintain for whatever reason they want. As a mod of a game Ken probably wouldn't be interested in, I wouldn't allow him in because he would make me, one of the people responsible with dealing with him during his time in the game as well as the person who let him in in the first place, immensely uncomfortable, and nowhere is there a law that says I have to deal with that. They can whine and cry about how ~unfair~ it is all they want, but my mind won't be changed. He's a rapist who plays out rape, so clearly still gets pleasure out of that kind of situation and is therefore liable to do it again, and I am not okay with associating with someone like that, even over the internet.
If they want to, fine. PSLs and museboxes exist for a reason. But if a game doesn't want him in their playerbase, it is their right to bar him entry.
And if any of the people in that plurk want to "tear me a new one" for having this opinion, they can come here and ask for my identity and I'll give it. I'm not afraid of a bunch of idiots who've taken Greek Social Fallacies to new heights, but I am afraid of rapists, and I'm not letting a self-admitted one into my game no matter how much he ~regrets~ it.

This is pretty much exactly why we refused him entry into COA the first place. I would have been uncomfortable dealing with him and as a mod, I had no opt out for it. We were polite in our response, but the response was no and I have zero regrets over how we handled it.
