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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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've never watched the dude, and prior to today, don't know that I had heard the name. But how do his crimes change the fact that his research is thorough? All the person above you said is that he researches well, not sure how that would be a controversial opinion to have of someone. And if its not clear, im no fan of the dude, and if hes guilty hopes he's put away.
He wont be "put away." The person they are claiming was 17 has never been identified. All his logs and everything has been tied up in a revenge porn lawsuit hes been battling for like 8 months. He gave everything to his lawyers because he wanted the police to look into it.

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.

Which he does, religiously, he will literally read it to you.
null@lemmy.nullspace.lol · -3 pts · 359d
I mean, he has some questionable opinions and past behaviour, but level of research is just about the weirdest thing to criticize him for...
FurryMemesAccount@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 12 pts · 359d
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.

null@lemmy.nullspace.lol · 2 pts · 359d
All I see is allegations that he sexted with a 17 year old who told him she was 19. Is that it?
