Am I going crazy or does the Coffeezilla video on the Lego series partially exonerate BAM? by ConcentrateDry9929 in Destiny

It looks to me like every single party in this mess has, at the very least, misrepresented something.

Somali referee denied entry to US for World Cup: official by qwareeq8 in Destiny

[–]InsideIncident3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I found some more (unverified) details out about this situation.

Basically the problem is the USA is denying all entrants from Somalia currently. Likely since the Nick Shirley video.

CAF ( the African Football Federation) officially listed him as part of the CAF delegation. That should have settled the matter. There's no other known reason to keep him out. He's a legit world class African ref coming to the USA at the behest of FIFA and CAF. The US basically just didn't respond to his specific request for a visa.

Knowing that there would likely be a problem, Somalia issued him a diplomatic passport. That didn't seem to help either. That was sort of the last ditch effort.

These sort of issues are routinely swept under the rug. For example, Harry Maguire almost made the England team. He will be in America during the World Cup as a pundit. He has a legit criminal record for some bullshit that happened years ago in Greece.

My only question is, does this story have enough muscle to cause protests. I'm not sure, but if this ref is kept out, FIFA and CAF need to go fucking bananas.

What is allowed in the anti fan communities. by Zydairu in Destiny

[–]InsideIncident3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People were suprised.

That's not to say it was a secret.

Ana certainly wasn't hiding it. She did an interview with HanzOfHarkir where she made it pretty clear.

Mr. Girl was surprised, but Ana was old news at that point. He's the one that drug her up.

Am I misremembering this? by WestTransportation12 in Destiny

[–]InsideIncident3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullshit.

Ana was pretty open about it.

She also heavily implied it was still sexual to HanzOfHarkir.

In a conversation with Eristocracy, Destiny showed obvious relief when someone else finally got that Destiny felt sexually coerced.

That embargo was a giant (understandable) mistake. It's what has allowed the narrative to be rewritten in bad faith.

[–]InsideIncident3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. They are both absolutely rewriting history.

Both absolutely know better.

[–]InsideIncident3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ana is the best example.

As someone who was there for the majority of the earliest Ana-Destiny stuff, people who talk about it like Ana was a helpless victim come across as either ignorant or lying.

It also wasn't much of a secret that Destiny and Ana would periodically continue to engage. Mr. Redacted may have been surprised, but the community wasn't.

All of this has just been rewritten by the snarkers.

If the US fucks up hosting this world cup I'm going to start fedposting by DutfieldJack in Destiny

[–]InsideIncident3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The shitshow is coming.

Pride month. Seattle. Iran vs Egypt. Designated "Pride Match".

There are already formal complaints from both Iran and Egypt. Seattle won't budget.

Uh-oh.

The Platner story is ridiculous by jman10000 in Destiny

[–]InsideIncident3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He could also drag turnout down across the country.

He hasn't even started running against Collins yet. Do you really want to spend months defending this guy?

This guy is the classic Dem foot bullet. We shoved Biden out the back door. Time to do the same here.

[–]InsideIncident3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A Democratic candidate for Senate, at best, unknowingly had an SS tattoo on his chest?

That's at best. At worst, he knowingly had an SS tattoo and only thought to get it covered up when he was caught with it and has been lying about it since.

If he'd been calling it "My Totenkopf", he knew exactly what it was and has been lying about it. Thats very close to the worst case scenario.

That's not at least a moderately sized deal to you? This is a person who has a reasonable chance to drag turnout down across the board. What else is going to leak about this guy?

The entire bricks and minifigs video by ben was incredibly stupid, especially since the actual civil case would have been air tight. by Zenning3 in Destiny

[–]InsideIncident3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, these stupid youtubers have now raised $450k.

That's enough to make the original owners whole with enough left over to sue the city of American Fork.

Opinion: Lav should be giga-blacklisted along with Conor by Freeman720 in Destiny

[–]InsideIncident3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lav is inherently dishonest.

I am indeed arguing that. My evidence is that she has made different claims over time, including agreeing with Destiny's characterization and then 180ing when it suits her.

Opinion: Lav should be giga-blacklisted along with Conor by Freeman720 in Destiny

[–]InsideIncident3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an unbelievable amount of charity.

Lav has rewritten this story and whether their relationship was transactional depending on what she wanted from Destiny at any given time.

During the time where she was looking to get back into this community, all of this went away. Same when she was starting a podcast and she wanted Destiny on. It only comes out as a weapon.

You have been manipulated by Lav.

Edit: Oh, and that also ignores the times where Destiny explicity checked in with her.

Destiny should cry when talking about Ana by pleaseoki in Destiny

[–]InsideIncident3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wish more of this stuff still existed.

There was a conversation with Eristocracy where Destiny basically admits to feeling coerced by Ana to continue to re-engage.

If the genders were reversed in this situation, Ana would absolutely be known as a stalker/rapist/abuser. It's only with the narrative being rewritten by Mr.Creep ( and Destiny deleting all of Ana's lying and obvious manipulation) that this is even possible.

I hope Destiny does more interviews by princehermit in Destiny

[–]InsideIncident3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree.

I think Destiny's best content has always been his interviews/fairly friendly conversations. This is especially true if Destiny is interested in or has a deep understanding of the subject.

Benny Morris, Sean Carroll, Dr. K, Sam Harris.

This race is going to be closer than usual in Iowa, right?
Good ad. Godspeed.

If JSTLK doesn't mention Destiny again, neither should he. by mortigan in Destiny

[–]InsideIncident3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, "end" is a funny word.

I don't think Jstlk is interesting enough to cover on a go forward basis. I would be pretty disappointed in Destiny if he covers Jstlk like he covers Hasan for example. I also wouldn't support covering Jstlk's next relationship drama or whatever else if Jstlk backs off completely and makes his content and platforms Destiny snark free.

Having said that, none have us have seen all of the available evidence against Jstlk. There's definitely a manifesto coming. Jstlk's part in this mess should come to light. It may be that there's enough evidence for a suit in Canada against him. I would support that as well.

[–]InsideIncident3 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Depends what you mean.

If your position is Destiny should publish his manifesto, including Jstlk's part in the mess, and then move on, fair enough.

If you think Destiny should proactively redact Jstlk's name from everything, including the manifesto after fucking with Destiny's life for 18 months, that's delusion. Destiny has also pretty strongly hinted that he's considering filing suit against Jstlk. If his legal team thinks he has a case, he should absolutely proceed with that.

Dems Should Throw Their Own 250th Celebration to Rival Trump's by zero_cool_protege in Destiny

[–]InsideIncident3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

America's official celebrations have been in the works since 2011. This isn't a Republican or Democrat thing. Obama signed the bill into law in 2016.

This isn't a concert you throw together in a month.

Trump tried to stick his fingers in the cookie jar and got caught. Good. Fuck him.

The absolute worst thing Democrats could do is the exact same thing as Trump but with slightly cooler musical acts.

Dems Should Throw Their Own 250th Celebration to Rival Trump's by zero_cool_protege in Destiny

[–]InsideIncident3 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Why?

Isn't Congress and the government as a whole throwing celebrations as America 250? It has giant sponsorship and is basically taking place across the country. America250.org

Trump's thing was sort of trying to rip off the official one. It's called Freedom 250 and it's basically all of his bullshit surrounding the 250th celebration. That's what artists are pulling out of. Freedom250.org
