You guys need to take this entire article to the drawing board as it excuses their heinous behavior in its speech by discrediting the other side. The [when?] annotations discredit things, but I dont know how to add references, and the excusing of the rape & abuse by claiming that they had """""sexsomnia"""" is so stupid. Many people around this time came out to call them out because they were being manipulative and abusive. Sure, to an extent, it matters to MENTION what Ren said at the time, but it's highly discrediting to leave out the other side.
