No, I don’t watch anything for debates / politics, I prefer reading for that because of efficiency. But clips of Destiny will come up in my feed (involuntarily), right now on Twitter because of Adam Friedland (involuntarily), and I’m confused why the consensus is that he is the Worst Person Ever. His personality seems likable and his demeanor is calm, so I can’t figure out what’s causing it.

Destiny seems to catch endless flak from Hasan and Vaush for (insert leftist infighting meme). I think its Palestine and Defund The Police that caused the biggest leftist rifts, so off the top of my head I would think that is what catches the ire of leftists.

There is much scorn to be levied at the entire streamer culture and the parasocial relationships engendered with especially pathetic hosts, but Destiny is really mid even by those standards. I love that Breadtube streamer types were convinced that getting Harris on their podcasts would have changed the electoral needle of young men, which is a hilarious lack of awareness of who even ends up listening to their pieces in the first place.

His personality seems likable and his demeanor is calm

I don't really follow him, but I've seen him sperg out more than once. Plus he's on some campaign to troll the right recently, so hardly surprising he's getting pushback.

You're right he can be likeable when he wants to, but he can get pretty abrasive and dishonest when he disagrees with someone.
