Its a name of a streamer you're better off not knowing about.
Please, elaborate. don't make us go hunt their content down. is this like an Illluminaughti thing or what?
He's a 36 year old streamer sexting minors.
That really doesn't narrow it down.
He has a youtube channel. Was an OG twitch steamer. Gooned a bunch and the snarkers got ahold of his logs. The drama is still on going if want to watch it go down. Hes elevated so many of the people in the political streamer space its funny how everyone turns on him as soon as they make a name for themselves.
His ultimate sin is gooning. All the accusations of him "texting minors" is just karma biting him in the ass for making so many jokes about it.
The drama is still on going if want to watch it go down.
You've confused me for someone having any interest in this.
Its honestly not that interesting.
Hes a zionist defending piece of shit.
No.
Well now I GOTS to know.
the events that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future.
Destiny has well researched political videos? I think he just shouts people down who have zero knowledge on the topics they are speaking.
Its kinda funny honestly. You can have these personalities that never shut up then sexpestiny comes in having read the material and demonstrates the vapid poltical streamers know nothing.
generally just don’t get your political analysis from anyone who streams :/ in my personal opinion it’s a poisoned well
obvs to varrying degrees, but there are so many other media, even online like podcasts, researchers, on the ground reporting, essayists, etc
-
A streamer's goal is to get views.
-
Controversy creates views.
-
Views equal money.
These political streamers are just as shitty as tabloids. As long as their livelihood is tied to getting views, they'll say whatever they need to say.
It's why you see a lot of these mofos flip flop over the years.
True. Even when I agree with destiny its always tainted by the fact that he is a never Trumper who would be fine with the DNC becoming neo-cons because the neo-cons dont have control of the GOP anymore.
Just sucks how the political streamer is now legitimately where people get their politics now. There are some humble ones but I swear, like the drama around destiny, they create drama amongst each other to keep themselves relevant. Its incestuous and makes it feel like they are really just blowing each other off for the views.
yass. It’s exactly that drama-seeking that causes such a big problem. It gets views but in the end it’s using the same social exploits as rap beef or reality TV to address complicated and dangerous topics. I do believe it’s positive when people at least wake up to that, even if their media consumption doesn’t immediately change. :)
The basics (Aristotle to Alinsky?), which require literacy and the tiniest time commitment, are undefeated. Streamers are supposed to just direct you to the actually valuable sources.
Which he does, religiously, he will literally read it to you.
I mean, he has some questionable opinions and past behaviour, but level of research is just about the weirdest thing to criticize him for...
That's not what's being said.
They're complaining about all the shit he has done (and might still do, but I stopped watching him long ago), despite the appearance of research he works on purveying.
^^
Like what?
Texting minors, defending ~~Israel~~ genocide, etc
There's more but it's been years, I don't remember all the drama
I've heard about the texting minors stuff, but haven't seen any proof. I have only seen his stuff in the last year or so watching political debates/streams and he definitely doesn't defend genocide, so I question the other criticisms as well.
def look it up. easy to find.
All I see is allegations that he sexted with a 17 year old who told him she was 19. Is that it?
pssh i wish that was it i mean that’s one thing of like dozens but if that’s truly “all you found” wow oof you are really bad at basic googling teehee https://duckduckgo.com/?q=destiny+controversy
I mean, do you have anything specific you think is really bad?
This is exactly what I see from loser tankies like Hasan Piker or any of these MAGA morons on Jubilee.
No real domain knowledge, just spreading allegations based on unhinged anti-fans who comb these peoples socials and chat logs all day and night.
Hasan isn't a tankie....
I was gonna say, I dont think thats right. I haven't watched any long format content from him besides his recent interview with Hasan Minhaj. Everything else ive seen is short clips because I dont really like the format of streamers just reacting/reading/responding to chat for like 3 hours.
I know there are people that got mad at him for voicing that America has some responsibility for 9/11, but I think there are always gonna be people that dont want to understand a nuanced take.
Lol sure.
sexual harassment (3rd link down) https://www.wfla.com/news/florida/florida-streamer-destiny-sued-over-cyber-sexual-harassment-court-documents/, revenge porn (from his wikipedia) https://www.polygon.com/news/527186/destiny-steven-bonnell-sexual-harassment-lawsui
and his current involvement with at best putting himself in the position to receive csam and treating that situation flippantly even if by luck it never happened.
go ahead and tell me that’s “not really bad” and again that i am ”a [derogatory semi-ableist word]” for disliking him as a source of poli-analysis 😂 makes you look rly good
For my part I hold people I look to for insight to a pretty stringent standard. :) U don’t have to do the same but it’s telling that me just expressing my standards caused u such a reaction.
Both those links are about the same case, which you apparently know nothing about...
Someone he was seeing used his computer, without his knowledge shared images from his Discord with someone else, and Pixie accused sued him for it.
And what? CSAM? You don't even have a source for that...
I'd say my suspicions have been more than confirmed.
So yeah, allegations and speculation. What a shock.
And notice how these people operate -- they don't actually want to discuss politics, so they drudge up whatever they can, screech about it, and then block.
