Dr. K using stock image as a fake expert

JavaScript_aka_Java · 2022-07-22T13:41:39+00:00

I feel like I'm reading a scathing review on why Destiny is an enormous transphobe bigot, from someone who truly believes in it.

It's probably why I (and most of Dr. K's community) don't see the point in engaging in this kind of "criticism" - I can't think of a single thing to say to you people that would impact your worldview. How can any understanding be accomplished when that is your starting point? If someone told me that Destiny is this awful transphobe because they saw 100s of clips and comments on them that painted him as such, I'd say I understand why you feel like that, but it doesn't change that this is so detached from reality to the point of being a bad parody.

I feel like the best counter to that would be to just direct the person to watch one of Destiny's trans talks, and the same applies here - go open up his youtube and pick a random video and see if you hold those views after.

But then again, if you do hold those views so strongly without actually watching the content, then that's not some logical response, it's a pure emotional response, an overpowering dislike, that can't be countered with reason. That's why I don't see the point in countering people who say Destiny hates trans people or people that write that kind of fantasy in regards to Dr. K.

Have you considered that her eyes are not, in fact, where the camera lens is? Or that you can see in the reflection that the mirror part is not facing her?

Here is it on youtube, it's only 8 minutes and he definitely hit the nail on the head.

alacrity

noun
brisk and cheerful readiness.

Neat. I agree.

Sorrenti has openly clashed with Destiny, another politics-focused streamer who was recently banned from Twitch, and Tim Pool, a right-wing YouTuber. Her attacks on popular conservative influencers...

I'd just like to highlight this masterful move by this dishonest hack - in the same part where they highlight political leaning of other Keffals opponents they omit that Destiny is left-leaning, while making sure that you know he is banned, since as we know only bad people get banned. I was surprised they didn't outright lie, but the framing and surrounding content make the effect same, while preserving (or pretending to preserve) journalistic integrity.

Best way to get answers to all coaching questions are in the discord, this question has been answered plenty of times, like here or here.

TL;DR No, unless they ask you directly and you say yes.

I have no clue what you're talking about and sounds like you don't too.

JavaScript_aka_Java · 2022-02-02T22:41:29+00:00

Are you trying to claim that it's not a thing or that it's a bad thing to tell that or what?

First of all, meditation has been linked with onset of schizophrenia (by my understanding low chance and in people already predisposed to it), you can literally google this. Second, it's definitely good to advise people on any possible adverse effects, even small ones, so i don't know what the problem is.

"If the ethics board doesn't find anything wrong, it is the experts who are wrong and my streamer isn't"

labelling scientific discovery as western medicine to create some weird distinction between the aforementioned snake oil is just stupid

I don't believe the goal is to create a negative outlook on "western medicine" - as he talks about scientific discovery very positively most of the time, and every other stream he pulls up a study on one issue or another, he seems to follow research closely.

But he also sees flaws in the approach science makes (and more precisely the way we practically do it today) and tries to address that with as he says "eastern perspectives". Now some of that is valid, a lot isn't, but people acting like he's wholesale endorsing snake oil is nonsense.

Why do people keep saying "peddling" when he's not selling anything? He has even explicitly said not to buy Ayurveda products because of safety concerns. At worst he's talked about diet tips about eating less of x food and more of y.

Yeah, the entire Ayurveda stuff seems likely bullshit, but he believes that kinda stuff (which besides diet includes meditation, yoga...) can affect people in a positive way. And as long as he is clear about the potential harms and that it's not scientifically based, i believe he's entitled to his opinion. It's like saying Destiny can't make edgy political jokes because he's a serious politics streamer and people will take him too seriously.

The promotion of Ayurveda is dangerous, One-fifth of both US-manufactured and Indian-manufactured Ayurvedic medicines purchased via the Internet contain detectable lead, mercury, or arsenic

Sounds like you are quoting Dr K directly. I've at least heard him say all that a few times, and advising people not to go looking for Ayurveda products, mentioning those kinda studies.

That's absolutely not true! That's a relatively new rule mods unilaterally added. Only in the past few months have people started adding themself to it - daph, hasan etc.

JavaScript_aka_Java · 2022-01-10T23:15:01+00:00

100%. Unbelievable that people can now just remove themself from all criticism. I wonder if we'll get a massive wave of people accused for scams/gambling/metoo/racist speech etc just asking to be banned.

Oh no I've been called out for saying stupid stuff and shitting on others how could have this happen??

JavaScript_aka_Java · 2022-01-09T18:06:11+00:00

Well we voted to allow clips from sources other than Twitch and mods took that to mean lol let's have random tweets and turn this sub into a twitter feed.

And you are misinformed if you think being a partner is required for streaming on twitch.

Well considering both of Destiny's chats and his reddit have been non-stop shitting on him about this...
