Edcr would have still been at least indefinitely banned even if he came out about everything himself. The fact that Chloe fully admitted on her own accord, yet it was NEVER a factor for considering shortening her ban shows they do not care about any of that.
while i don't think a permanent ban is the right call, EDCR is a fucking idiot 😭 the messages were in a public server that could easily be verified.
refusing to take accountability, and only apologizing when you're caught Lying, is a terrible look and i hope he knows that now.
