I fucking hate all these streamer “personas”. They always turn out to be assholes.

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 think you can say the same for nearly all social platforms in the new age of internet. “influencers” generate “content” for their “followers”

I agree that this is a wider problem with streams. 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 deat the purpose. It’s all quantity over quality, so assholes get to the top.

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
glimse@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I forgot this guy existed and I preferred it that way.
He makes edgy content for kids. Of course he’s a creeper.
Speculater@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I’m always just shocked at who takes off and becomes a ‘celebrity.’ I don’t understand algorithms, I suppose.
glimse@lemmy.world 5 months ago
His target demographic is literal children and kids seem to love loud, obnoxious personalities.
juice702@lemmy.world 5 months ago
He’s for sure a predator and a fucking pedo. Pathetic boy.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.

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”
GoodEye8@lemm.ee 5 months ago
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”.
KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
Yep, I (and the rest of the world, his wife; and his agency, fucking CAA) am/are waiting for the other shoe to drop.

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.
KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
Its been said here a few times including by me, but he has future career prospects as a conservative podcaster.
runjun@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Gross, absolutely possible.

I mean his name is “Dr. Disrespect”, they pretty much got what they were there for

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.
Absolutely fucking disgusting.

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.
Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 5 months ago
What’s minor in this case? The fact that it’s not specified makes me think we’re speaking of a 17 year old.
pacology@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Of course. He is only a chatting predator or pedofile.
/s btw. I don’t know anything about the situation

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.
Oh, and a nonce too.
