again, let me say that I'm only providing a possible explanation as to the timing. That is to say, what I am about to write is regarding how timing is an argument for both sides and as a result basically a non argument in general, because it could go either way and it can only be revealed along with the truth.

A lot of people are really hesitant to report SA as it's usually a lot of unwanted attention and it is quite embarassing. Most people don't want to draw attention to themselves as a victim. At the same time, it would definitely suck to see someone who violated you getting successful and praised even though they are... not a good person. People dwell on things that happen to them and it can take a long time for someone to finally decide to take action, because people are indecisive and scared. So it is very possible that the allegation came out at this time only because the bottled hurt and pain the alleged victim had felt finally burst with everyone praising the offendant.

Again, if the accusation is false the perpetrator should get full punishment. I am simply saying the timing argument works for both sides so we should treat it as a non-argument, since it is an argument that relies on the truth rather than an argument that reveals the truth

PRX winning made the shit talk better tho, like in this case it was more satisfying to see the shit talker get shut down than the shit talker win. Altho I assume ur a TH/benjyfishy fan? (given fortnite and valorant lmao) In which case fair enough if you wanted them to win, but I can say that as fan of PRX that shit was euphoric

Yeah it's ironic because just like how the minority % of people actually take cancelling very far dominate a large % of twitter algorithms and conversation, the minority % of false accusations dominate a large % of twitter algorithms and conversation. The engagement driving algorithms just enjoy rage bait sadly.

China VCT in 1 year will feed generations of the other region's esport (not supported by any statistics, extreme exaggeration, just mean that China esports produces more money than any of the other three regions. And if their teams all get eliminated early then hey! whatever, we get to watch our teams play more and win). Huge population, and esports scene far more developed than India (by probably a decade tbh)

yah I wasn't disagreeing with what ur saying, most of my post was just informational. My opinion is basically just yours that we should wait for an investigation, with a little more emphasis that we should push DRX and Riot/VCT to make a proper investigation.

We don't know who's lying and who's not at this time so we shouldn't point fingers

Usually the reason people say "believe the victim" is because of several reasons

1. There is generally little incentive to lie. Obviously exceptions exist, but the idea behind "believe the victim" is at least largely based on it.

2. Historically and even today, there has been an imbalance in repercussions between victims and offenders, with offenders often getting off without the victim even reporting them (which I can explain later if people don't understand why victims don't always report) or potentially even getting charges that should be given dropped (for various legal and cultural failures). In this sense, the victim is always at a disadvantage in getting proper justice, since if more than 50% of cases will be dropped true or not, then they are at a statistical disadvantage in terms of getting the true outcome from the legal system.

3. Banking off the theory that regardless of if the allegations are true or not, victims in the case of true accusations will always need more support than "perpetrators" in false allegations (of course they are not actually perpetrators). That is to say, if we look at the possible combinations of false allegations, supporting victims is the "moral dominant strategy" (imagine a nash equilibrium but the points are "moral points").

Again, it's important to note that these are not ALL the considerations made by EVERYONE, as well as uniquely in cases where the full reality of the situation is unknown.

IMO if the allegations have nothing but word of mouth, the only thing bystanders SHOULD do is strongly pressure investigation and continue to pressure action from [relevant overseeing authority, in this case Riot] until a conclusion is reached, with all findings from the investigation and the reason for the conclusion being public. At the end of the day, an investigation confirming the person truly is a victim or if the "perpetrator" is the true victim of libel/defamation is the only way we'll get anywhere, so it's best to harshly pressure VCT to investigate. I have issues with cancel culture, although I can understand some of the reasoning (I mean cancelling has existed since even before Jesus was cancelled), but I think the only way to solve this issue is with an investigation, something that should be the only focus of everyone who just wants this to be over with.
