Nobody's going to say it? Okay, I will.

He raped his ex-girlfriend, and uses the incident as a way to try to garner pity for himself by acting like a sorrowful martyr who has bravely managed to recover from committing rape. It is some truly disgusting shit. It happened years ago- the 'anniversary' mentioned above is when he raped her, which was in April several years ago iirc.

The fact that he's calling it an 'anniversary' is all you really need to know about him. Funk is a horrible person- he's the worst of Nice Guy and rape culture rolled into one.

words do not describe how much he's had it coming for far, far too long.

i highly doubt it. this isn't like ken where he was fucking dumb enough to post loving details on a public entry. mods would be leery of accusing him of this without any proof or the word of his victim, and getting anything concrete could be a violation of her privacy unless she came to them directly.

As someone who knows the victim: Plenty of evidence exists, including repeated confessions of the crime from Funk himself. There's a whole treasure trove of chatlogs and screencaps out there with all kinds of disgusting details. It'd only be a matter of the mods involved requesting them.

Of course, that'd only happen if the victim came forward. She doesn't RP much any more.

so, i'm assuming he talked to people about it besides the victim? do they have any screencaps and logs saved, and is there any way they can share them with mods without violating her privacy?

Also, like Ken, he still roleplays rape threads despite being, you know, an actual rapist. He's 'hardlikearock' here.

Skimming through this made me sick to my stomach knowing that he's actually committed rape. That is so fucked up.

(Anonymous) 2013-04-14 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
ok what gives you the right to say this shit? did it not occur to you that people were being vague for a reason? i hate funk too but it is not ok to just put this out there.

tbh i'm glad it's finally been said. he's had it coming big time, and i hope it all comes crashing down on him now. i feel really bad for the victim if she never wanted this to get out, but letting funk just get away with martyring himself and telling people it was just a 'thoughtless mistake' is practically rewarding him for what he did. he doesn't deserve to feel comfortable and secure in any way whatsoever.

it isn't anyones decision except the survivor's how this comes out. anyone who thinks they should take matters into their own hands in a sensitive matter like this is a fucking asshat. and the way you're talking is also incredibly disrespectful as well.

(Anonymous) 2013-04-14 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
if you're angry because it might potentially out the person he raped then i don't think there's too much to worry, most people he plays with in games probably don't know who this is. like me for instance, no idea who this is and, honestly, have no desire to find out. i also think she shouldn't be outed either, but i think people are classy enough not to say anything on that front.

if you're angry because a confirmed rapist was outed then you should rethink your priorities. especially when he goes on about this instance (he's mentioned more than just recently on the "anniversary") like people should console him when he never says what it was about. i feel bad if anyone gave him sympathy then finds out this is what it was about.

im not angry a confirmed rapist came out. im angry that people think they are in the right to give such implicit details. unless the survivor themselves said this was ok then no one has the right to decide how this is revealed.

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2013-04-14 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
okay then disregard the last thing, i just couldn't tell which you were angry about lmao

but i can understand your anger about it, but it seems vague enough it should appease the people that wanted to know what this was about and not ask for anymore details than was given. though i would understand if she found out this was revealed she could be upset, too.

on the one hand, i'm not going to shed any tears over a rapist being outed. on the other hand, even if the victim herself isn't outed, having details about such a terrible and personal experience out in public can still be an intensely uncomfortable experience for her. for that reason, i'm torn about the information being out there, and i don't blame friends who wanted to keep details vague for her sake.

hi. i don't think this is a good idea but... seeing as it's already been commented about, i'm going to make one and only one comment here.

i am the survivor of this incident. please forgive me for using a sock journal, because, as other anons have mentioned, my identity being revealed in regards to this situation is one of my greatest fears. being shown this thread was a very unpleasant surprise for me. my close friends all know that i never wanted this to get out- not to protect the person who did this to me, but because i deal with the repercussions of the incident every single day of my life, and the last thing i want is for that to leak into my online pretendy fun times roleplay life too. but i'm not angry at whoever mentioned it... i guess somewhere in my mind i knew this was bound to happen eventually. i'm not happy about it, but it's over and done with, and there's nothing i can do about it now except to try to preserve my privacy and anonymity.

the reason i am commenting with this sock journal is because i saw that some people were concerned about wanting evidence to bring to moderators to preserve their online safety. i can provide these things. please PM me for them or direct your moderators to this account. my only condition is that you first contact me without a sock and identify yourself thoroughly. i hope you understand why i need to ask for that. i am commenting here only because if it will help other survivors feel safe, then it's worth it, in my mind.

i know i can't tell anons what or what not to do, but please don't blow this drama up any further or at least try to keep it civil. it isn't roleplay-related beyond aiding other players to create comfort zones for themselves. all i want right now is to be able to disappear into peace and quiet again, and i would very much appreciate it if this whole thing smothers out fast.

that is all i have to say on this matter. i don't want to discuss details or answer questions because recalling it is very painful for me and anons already seem to have posted the basics. if you have any questions or concerns, please PM me as i will not be checking this thread further. it's already too much for me to deal with at once.

i just want to apologize for everything that happened on wg, and i hope that things quiet down for your sake. if actions are taken against him, i hope that it's done in a way that respects your privacy.

they might as well have typed "HE'S A RAPIST" in bold, blinking, comic sans font. that is precisely how subtle they were.

(Anonymous) 2013-04-14 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
as one of the people who was asking for details, i just want to say that i'm sorry. it should have been obvious to me what he had done from the way everyone was dancing around it, but i considered him a friend and a person i trusted, so i was picking at this in the hopes that i would find some confirmation that it was all just a stupid grudge against him and he hadn't really done anything wrong.

if the victim does happen to read this, i apologize to you. i'm sorry for defending this fucking rapist shithead, for comforting him when he whined about how bad he felt, for not trusting my instincts and for dredging this horrible shit up. i'm sorry for what funk did as well. he's a real fucking jerk and at least one more person isn't buying his woe is me i'm so sorry shit anymore.

You sound like a good person, anon. Everybody makes mistakes- it's okay. Just glad that you've got the truth now.
