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.
Being a masochist, I opened r/all again. r/livestreamfails. No upvoted comments about the incident likely being a nothingburger. 1/5 comments either about pedophilia, or the usual fence-sitting about optics comment thread that gets more engagement than the rest of the comment section. That website is has something wrong at the core.
Fence-sitting comments are always about how a thread is a dumpster-fire, when examination shows someone lit a cigarette 20 ft from the dumpster. That or a pretend-deep observation about public figure's actions look bad, veiled attempts to get others to think said person is bad. Ex: Ted Cruz staying on vacation a day into Texas's blackouts when being a federal legislator has little to do with that job. Nimrods thinking or saying Ted looked bad are why people have to waste time looking busy at their jobs.
