Zeal has released a response, and I've read through the whole thing. I'm sorry, but after reading all of this, I really do believe I jumped the gun far too quickly, and as such I've taken down my previous posts. I am but another voice in the crowd of many and I ultimately do not have any effect on what happens between Ren and Zeal, but after reading this, I don't just believe, but I am mostly CERTAIN that Zeal did, in fact, NOT commit S/A, that Ren skewed evidence and left out important context to support her side (and she has said so herself), and most importantly: THIS ALL SHOULD'VE STAYED BETWEEN ZEAL AND REN.
But okay, just because of all of that, does it say that I'm on either side? I may currently believe Zeal considering everything, but at the end of the day, I'm not, for I cannot pick a side, and guess what? Neither can you! And why? We're just observers. And what I see is a mess.
Zeal had his faults. Ren had hers. But now all of this is out, one thing is certain to me: no crime happened, and now that she's accused Zeal of what can only now be proven as a lie, she can actually get in legal trouble for this, and I'm honestly disappointed because stuff like this is the reason why actual S/A victims are never believed.
We all really need to stop jumping the gun on everything and I'm getting sick of people doing this, along with the fact that I kinda did so myself makes me upset. I'm obviously on neither side anymore, and I'm still gonna leave the game alone for awhile, but please don't plug your ears to anything either side may say now and in the future because this is far more complicated than "oh yeah they did this so therefore guilty-" no. Genuinely just stop and WAIT.
I wish I could say support Ren but... no. Just leave the whole thing alone for now. But still, justice for S/A survivors. Ty.
