Shock horror: a fucking idiot who build his persona on a foundation of being loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat turns out to be loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat.
Every time this fuck comes up, I can’t believe he’s popular. Hopefully this will finally kill off his platform but I guarantee all these idiots online will forgot about this in no time.
The whole principle of Twitch is to be a whore. Streamers whore their viewers for donations. Viewers whore for their streamers for attention. It’s just cringe and a waste of time content wise, while eating up idiotic amounts of resources. The majority of people there are part of the bottom barrel of society and no amount of “small streamers” can convince me otherwise as most of those would become just as much of a sellout if they’d had a chance to become popular enough.
I agree that this is a wider problem with streams as a genre.
I think the main problem is that starting a stream and talking about whatever in order to appeal to a larger and larger audience is rewarded rather than good research and preparing high quality content, like on YT or TikTok.
It’s just not possible when you’re streaming and would defeat the purpose. It’s all quantity over quality, so assholes get to the top.
TicTok is a 99% low quality garbage too, on top of being a data hording machine for China.
YouTube isn’t any better nowadays either, it’s all just clickbait garbage and real life vlog type shit.
Frankly, the internet was better when it was mostly nerds filling it. But I suppose now that it is mainstream, it is just a mirror of society.
Nah. People uploaded content they thought was interesting or funny, simply things they wanted to share with others, they weren’t thinking how to milk the most engagement out of you for monetary reasons.
These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more. Nothing illegal happened, no pictures were shared, no crimes were committed, I never even met the individual. […] That’s on me as an adult, a husband and a father.
Jesus fucking christ. If you, as a father, are “leaning too much in the direction of being inappropriate” with a minor, you’re a fucking pedophile. There is nothing to discuss that’s leaning into being inappropriate with a minor, except if you’re a pedophile. Trying to make it sound less of an issue just because there weren’t pictures sent, is a pathetic attempt of an excuse for being a pedophile.
For being so real and no filter, there’s a fucking lot of sugarcoating for admitting the fact that he sexted with a minor.
I specifically don’t get how you can do that as a father, and even being the complete asshole that he is, not even once thinking that the victim could be his own child. I really wonder what he would say about such a tweet in this case.
If all your sponsors and business partners immediately flee you at mach speed over what you sent to that kid, it was certainly well past “inappropriate”
He’s releasing this abysmal attempt at damage control because a former Twitch employee blasted the details on Twitter yesterday. I doubt the chat logs actually get leaked, although given the fact that he’s almost certainly downplaying the vileness of the I wish they would be.

Oh, and a nonce too.

I mean his name is “Dr. Disrespect”, they pretty much got what they were there for
Its been said here a few times including by me, but he has future career prospects as a conservative podcaster.
Gross, absolutely possible.
I forgot this guy existed and I preferred it that way.
He makes edgy content for kids. Of course he’s a creeper.
I’m always just shocked at who takes off and becomes a ‘celebrity.’ I don’t understand algorithms, I suppose.
His target demographic is literal children and kids seem to love loud, obnoxious personalities.
He’s for sure a predator and a fucking pedo. Pathetic boy.
He had to be doing something inappropriate for him to get blasted off twitch and his own gaming company and shit.
Just because it wasnt enough for him to be arrested doesnt mean it wasnt harmless. Probably just means he got caught to quickly.
He was allegedly trying to meet up with the minor at Twitch-Con, so you may be right.
And his entire defense is “I never met up with her in person”. Yeah bro because you got fucking caught. This is not the defense you think it is.
what is it with asshole streamers always ending up being pedophiles?
I fucking hate all these streamer “personas”. They always turn out to be assholes.

I think you can say the same for nearly all social platforms in the new age of internet. “influencers” generate “content” for their “followers”
Nowadays, yes. Go back 10-15+ years and it was quite a different experience.
I’d argue that it was the same, but now it’s more efficient and optimized.

It sounds so dirty, doesn’t it?
What’s minor in this case? The fact that it’s not specified makes me think we’re speaking of a 17 year old.
My ‘I’m No Fucking Predator Or Pedophile’ T-shirt is raising question already answered by my ‘I’m No Fucking Predator Or Pedophile’ T-shirt.
Didn’t he also cheat on his wife a while back? What a piece of shit of a human being

Of course. He is only a chatting predator or pedofile.
/s btw. I don’t know anything about the situation

Absolutely fucking disgusting.

Yep, I (and the rest of the world, his wife; and his agency, fucking CAA) am/are waiting for the other shoe to drop.
It’s the least worst way he could put it in his PR statement, there’s no doubt in my mind what he did was worse than “inappropriate”.
