The Danish streamer said how he handled things was wrong, that he’s going to act better in the future, and that he was sorry about it all. He tweeted:“I called you a liar and that’s not how it should go about when someone comes out with a story like yours. Should have shown support, coming out like that is not easy.

She doubted the apology but said that if it was real, then it was “cool,” but she had no interest otherwise and wanted the gamer to "go away."Farmer Dafran@dafran@sleepysyrupp 100% genuine.

Showing support for the victims coming out is extremely important for the future of stories like yours and ofcourse, you and your storyHe insisted that it was a real apology and that he spent a great deal of time learning about where he went wrong in this situation. He spoke with other content creators, who made it clear that it was important to show support for the victims, instead of immediately shouting them down.Farmer Dafran@dafran@sleepysyrupp And I am sorry for the constant harassment you are facing. I know this is on me also. It is disgusting3:24 AM · Apr 13, 2022420@sleepysyrupp And I am sorry for the constant harassment you are facing. I know this is on me also. It is disgustingIt’s not easy to come forward with abuse allegations, and instead of being an ally, the Danish streamer immediately said his friend was innocent and called the abuse victim a liar. The streamer took responsibility for the harassment she faced since his condemnation caused a lot of problems for Cleo.cleo@sleepysyrupp@dafran thanks for the apology3:31 AM · Apr 13, 2022229@dafran thanks for the apologyCleo’s response was a simple “Thank you for the apology,” leaving it at that. While what the streamer did was reprehensible in 2021, it’s up to the streamer to improve and grow. The apology, if sincere, does not erase the streamer's words or actions from the prior year, where he used his platform to call Cleo a liar when it came to serious s*xual abuse allegations.While Sinatraa was not found culpable by Riot Games’ external investigation, they also made it clear that Sinatraa was not helpful and forthcoming, which led to his ban from Valorant competitive gameplay.Twitter has mixed opinions on Dafran’s apology to CleoThe streamer made some incredibly incendiary comments about Cleo and her allegations, so it’s not a surprise that some people simply don’t believe him. While others pointed out that people can grow and change, but he’s got to prove it. Another response stated that his apology didn’t change what he initially said.Kanda Sridhi Raj@kaanda27@dafran Even in the midst of becoming a better person, people still choose to trash you over past mistakes. Doesn't seem like anything you do or say can convince them otherwise. Let them be, all that matters now is you keep at it in improving yourself.4:09 AM · Apr 13, 20222@dafran Even in the midst of becoming a better person, people still choose to trash you over past mistakes.

Admitting when you were wrong is so freaking hard, especially doing it publicly. Thanks for supporting SA survivors. People should learn from you.12:08 PM · Apr 13, 202224@dafran @sleepysyrupp There are a lot of really awful people in the comments with “reformed too far” and worse but this is legitimately top tier behavior.

Some think it’s just a big joke by the Danish streamer.jme@jammyjme@dafran @sleepysyrupp Just trying to back track...claiming to be reformed...and jumping on the owl2 gravey train2:16 AM · Apr 13, 20221@dafran @sleepysyrupp Just trying to back track...claiming to be reformed...and jumping on the owl2 gravey trainLeanna ANTEUP@NanaKouhai@triiilzz @dafran @sleepysyrupp It takes 0 character development to type a bunch of meaningless words on Twitter pal.3:07 AM · Apr 13, 202210@triiilzz @dafran @sleepysyrupp It takes 0 character development to type a bunch of meaningless words on Twitter pal. https://t.co/pttyybt5RJIt’s going to be up to Dafran to show he means what he says. While the opinion on social media is decidedly mixed, many do applaud the streamer for evolving and trying to apologize and admit he was wrong in how he handled the situation.
