The difference a day makes, I swear this drama has escalated quick in TWO days, he's put out a full tweet of it, I don't have X so someone else link it as I ain't making an account to that hellscape for this.
TLDR, he DID talk to a minor (hard on what age as that could be a 15 year old in the states but they live in France) back in 2017 but NO pictures were sent, NEVER met and it says it sometimes was inappropriate talk but that could've been the average gamer talk. Now he was banned in 2020 so they sat on this for 3 YEARS but Twitch settled a lawsuit he had with them and there was NO criminal charges at all for him.
So after the studio he founded kicked him out and a sponsor dropped him, other than be an idiot talking to a minor this is a nothing burger. It speaks WORSE on Twitch that they couldn't vet their internal messager given that Disrespect doesn't state if he KNEW at the time they were a minor and dropped talking to them when they found out.
And also speaks ill on all those saying "We knew about this for years" what that he was a fucking idiot for a basic mistake (why I mute everyone unless they're friends) or dod you think he was a pedo but sat on this waiting for blood in the water as that's even more disgusting.
Hell, even if a girl lies about her age and uses a fake adult ID then the guy is STILL fucked.
Another pro tip, it pays absolute dividends to get to know a new person's friend group because if they're even decent people and know she's out to cause trouble or has something going on with her they'll warn you. Every now and then I've had something happen when trying to socialise and it's remarkable how people will come around the back to talk to you about it because they ended up confirming everything and sometimes they've even ditched the person generally because they've realised they're a total sperg.
Not encouraging, because I really don't know how human society can survive with that much friction over fuck all and of course the answer is obvious that we're fucked lol. Too many mentally ill people walking around in plain sight for my liking, this sort of tactic not only applies to adults but to children as well.
