The big video being cited is some cuck whose admitting he has a bad memory saying that some guy told him Doc was messaging minors in Rust, which is literally playground gossip.
What an interesting excuse to have. You know who else had a bad memory (due to head trauma), the guy who was ProJared's accuser. I'm not gonna take a bullet for or defend Jared, but the dude was pretty adamant about what he was doing and under the progressive guise of consent. It was the one person going buck wild, who then came out and talked about taking blows to the head and forgetting simple shit, while maintaining he had perfect memory of all the weird shit going on with Jared. Him not remembering what he heard from someone else should be immediately disregarded. I also try to maintain that I have zero trust in anything anyone ever associated with Twitch (or other big kahntent creators) say; as much as they may claim otherwise, they're all drama llamas and clout goblins, because any attention is good attention. I still remember when Slasher did his "I KNOW WHY" stream, where you had a number of big name Twitch people show up and just talk about nothing. Also, it's Twitch, anyone who plays the game will immediately stab others in the back.
You either give me a court case, provable text logs, or something; because I see all those people as scorpions asking to cross the river.
If Doc wanted to disrespect his wife more and fuck kids, by all means, give him a piece of glass to the abdominal aorta; but if it's just a bunch of e-celebs saying of course they knew... I'd rather listen to paint dry.
But if Twitch employees were unscrupulously reading Whisper DMs of their top creators and that creator was shady AF instead of illegal? Unclean hands are everywhere. Which is exactly why this makes sense to me.
I'm not arguing in defense of reading texts here, just giving some hand-washing. When you own and control a platform as Twitch does, it goes without saying that you have certain levels of control and should explain that privacy does not exist and your communications risk being examined. Whether they want to say they were using an automated detector, auditing, or whatever; they can practically make up a BS excuse and explain away why they're rifling through people's messages.
Do I think they were doing that, oh fuck no, their staff were/are all fucking creepers and weirdos.
Unless something hard comes out; on the boat that he was being courted by others (Ninja had recently jumped to Mixer) and instead of paying him more to stay, just gave him an early release and ate the cost. What you do as a performer is play it up, to get eyes and attention on you.
