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.
i know they are from the same case that’s why i put them in the same bullet point. here’s a source but anyway get blocked lol
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.
