Listening to jstlk's stream, he's talking to a retard, however this conversation made me remember that Destiny has stated something like
"I'm surprised my stuff (sextapes/sexts) haven't leaked (by how many people I've send them to)" or something a long those lines.
Would be interested if anyone remembers this.
Yeah, he'll likely always keep a substantial base of support. But, any potential of being more than a streamer is at risk if Chaeiry or Pxie's cases succeed.
The stink of being a revenge pornographer makes a mainstream break out totally impossible. It also hurts the prospect of debating with more substantial guests, either out of their disgust or because it'll be easy to dismiss him.
Don't look at the reddit or twitter comments as a sign of any damage. This will be a slow burn and hinge totally on how the cases shake out.
While I would like to think that these accusations will actually make some sort of damage to his image, after today, I'm pretty certain he'll be just fine.
Honestly, I don't even know anymore if people wouldn't invite him anymore to things like Piers Morgan or stuff like that. I don't doubt that people would bring the topic up to dunk on him, but Destiny is genuinely a shameless person.
Destiny can pretty much succesfully "brainwash" himself into not caring about anything, no matter how truthful the dunk is, because he genuinely thinks himself to be superior than everyone else. He's a narcissist, he finds a cope for every bad action that he takes and sees it all like character development (like his childhood molestation).
Destiny could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and he wouldn't lose any substantial number of footsoldiers. They are all deranged, so I don't see his audience, or his psyche, being affected by all this. Yeah people will call him a creep and sexpest, but his footsies will always run to his defense, every time.
*Edit:
Having to listen to jstlk talk to that retard made me realize something, which seems very obvious, but I guess I'm just kinda retarded and never really formed it into a simple sentence.
Destiny's greatest "weapon" is the fact that people assume that he actually cares, about anything.
People just can't fathom that someone can actually be as self centered, and have no concern for anyone else, because they've seen him "pretend", so they think the feelings are genuine. They can't believe that they've watched thousands of hours of a guy who genuinely doesn't give a shit about anything in life.
And for the girls (like Pxie) they can't believe that this guy genuinely could have hour long conversations for the simple goal of getting his dick wet.
He preys on people, everyone really, by this fact, not only on women. If he did something wrong, then he slightly mentions some words that sound remorseful, but if you see the big picture he never really took any accountability.
And when he really finally gets "caught", and is "cornered", he plays the pity game, like a kid, he says some depressed sentences, laments the situation, takes a break from stream.
But again, none of his actions show any remorse. Everything, from him conversations with Pxie, his interactions with Kyla, his logs in DGG chat, him deleting evidence and threatening people, and him moving his setup so the girls can no longer be seen (so he can play the "my sex addiction has been cured" angle), all show an animal pretending to be injured, he's just saving his own ass, nothing more.
Destiny purposely preys on people's ability to empathize and sympathize, in every aspect of his life.
