Sinatraa: https://x.com/valesportsna/status/1369711283197472769
Flor: https://x.com/ValorantEsports/status/1924200821660528777
Notice the difference in the response?
Update: Riot are now hiding tweets telling them to name drop https://x.com/ValorantEsports/status/1924200821660528777/hidden

yeah it’s a hypothetical, but that doesn’t change the point.
if someone can still be picked up or subbed in, they’re eligible.
if riot thinks something deserves a suspension, it shouldn’t matter if the person played that weekend or not.
treating them differently just because one was active and the other wasn’t doesn’t make sense.
Riot do not need to suspend someone that is not actively participting in VCT. They can make a decision on this if flor decides they want to return to tier 1 at some point. Anything else would be stupid, as itd imply riot would have to investigate every single valorant players criminal record and preemptively suspend them because theres a chance theyll play pro some day lol.
nobody’s saying riot should go dig through every player’s past just in case.
but flor is still on a franchised team and this stuff’s public now.
sinatraa didn’t get a “let’s wait and see if he comes back” lol. he got suspended right away when they started the investigation.
so it’s fair to ask why it’s different now.
No worries
Yes she is: https://www.vlr.gg/team/11479/apeks
She still has a buyout too as confirmed on her leaving tweet
not saying riot’s biased for flor specifically, just pointing out the inconsistency.
if the policy changed, cool, but then riot should say that, and NOT hide tweets pointing out the inconsistency.
don’t just act like this is how it’s always been.
the thread’s about how the response to stuff like this still feels all over the place depending on who it is and when it happens.
We have known this is every corpo giants priorities forever now tbf so its not surprising. Still it is kind of a baffling thing to do. Nothing wrong with being pro LGBT but the primary stance to take on this issue is just fuck rapists and nothing else. Not treating this case as harshly as others is awful and should be upsetting for anyone of any political belief.
Flor r*pe allegations

I made this AI summary, but you should check out the full document too:

Sinatraa's case had a lot more supporting evidence than Flor at the time, including a pretty damning voice recording. The way they're handling this honestly isn't too inconsistent with how they've handled other similar cases.
I'm pretty sure Sinatraa's case came literally right before the first international masters too, whereas Flor isn't even currently playing.
She didn't leave, she is still on Apeks
In her tweet leaving she said:
Several other VCT teams even showed interest in buying out my contract these last couple weeks and Apeks told me I could explore those options for Split 2 if anything made me happy and allowed me to continue competing
So given that there is a buyout, she is still on Apeks, just inactive
