Why am I not surprised that a guy who had a full crying meltdown over the existence of pronouns would turn out to be a pedo?

NVM found it. Damn doc is getting lamer the more you learn about him. https://www.ggrecon.com/articles/dr-disrespect-calls-out-bethesda-over-starfield-pronouns/ Basically, Starfield mentions your pronoun after character creation and mentions that you can change your pronoun if you like. Doc then looks up someone from Starfield or something looking for their pronouns in the company website. He then says "Its all starting to make sense" in such a way that shows his disapproval of that option being in the game.

Its not some crazy event, but it just adds another thing to a pile of things that show he's kind of a crappy person. Starfield had mentioned they didn't want to partner with him due to the previous twitch controversy, I feel his continued actions (getting pissy over this option, that he could completely ignore) really proves Starfield's decision was a good one.

Oh, sorry, I had the wrong guy. I was thinking of Dan Vasc, whose red-faced screaming meltdown is embedded in the article you linked. Must have gotten the names mixed up.

Let me try this again.

Why am I not surprised that the guy who turned out to be a pedo also gets upset about other people having pronouns?

I forgot about this but as soon as you said red-faced it came back to me. This “adult” became a tomato because he could choose to be referred to as he/him in a video game. I only ever saw toddlers and small children scream the way he did. So pathetic!

Lol I looked that one up. That was most definitely a meltdown as well LOL.

Lol what are you talking about? any links or ways to find this?

These shock jock types always seem to nuke themselves in the end. That guy looks like the weekly bad guy on a episode of Starsky and Hutch from the 70's

You're not wrong, but that's also just a persona he plays, the hair and mustache are both fake. I don't know how close the persona is to the real person, but I'm sure he's hamming it up to some extent, just not enough to be a good person pretending.

The persona is the real person. When he take out the hair, the mask is put on.

The persona is barely fake, which is why he always rubbed me the wrong way. Like yeah a hyper macho gamer can be a funny ironic persona, but when you're legitimately Gamer Raging TM on stream, you're just doing the thing. Not surprised he turned out to be a piece of shit a while ago. Mildly surprised he was a pedo, though I didn't notice his right-wing tendencies so that's on me.

I'm pretty sure the stash is real though.

I love how nickmercs defends him by saying that there's no evidence but keeps accusing the LGBTQ of pedophilia without evidence.

Nickmercs has always been a piece of shit. I feel like he's only ever stepped up to bat for his friends when they've actually done some heinous shit, so seeing his defense of Doc only further confirms my belief that he did it.

Nickmercs' support is an unexpected canary in this coal mine.

It's like when people that cheat on others in their relationships start accusing their partners of cheating or have major trust issues because of their guilt (or whatever it is). And by that same logic I conclude that Nickmercs is a pedo (if he can do it with the LGBTQ community without evidence then he wouldn't mind me making similarly wild claims about him, right?).

It’s always the same with these kind of streamers. They either become decent people eventually or become pedos. There is no in between.

Boy there's a strong correlation between being a streamer/YouTuber/online video creator and being a sex pest.

Laurentide

•

I don't think streamers and video creators are more likely to be sex pests. You're just more likely to hear about a sex pest if their career involves trying to be seen by as many people as possible.

IDK, it could be like with priests, where the job attracts a certain type because of the perks...

KingThrillgore

•

There is also the fact that a lot of streamers start young, with no guidance or mental development so they act on their worse impulses

AsherahTheEnd

Actually I just think there are far more sex pests than you would hope, and they are literally everywhere. It's very alarming.

Idk who this Magnum PI wannabe is and at this point I don't give a shit.

He also is "stepping away" for a while which I guess is code for "CAA can't save me" so I guess in six months we get another conservative podcaster on X, and a new KiwiFarms thread for Hershel "Dr Disrespect" Beahm.

I have a pillow sack full of nickels at this point, which leads me to think we have a serious problem with streaming/youtubing as a career.
