DDK controversy?

#1

Faraday

I was scrolling through the val comp reddit and this thread came up, the comments are saying he's racist and a bigot and shit, I haven't heard about this at all, (vaIorant_fanboy_69 is so good at baiting he must be a VLR user)

He's made a response here aswell

Apparently he retweeted someone racist or something? does anyone know who or what he retweeted?

What did he retweet that racist? Its hard to base an opinion on something if you dont know what he has tweeted also isnt it kinda discriminatory to deny someone an oppurtunity for their political beliefs, which from what I gathered is he is anti-vaxx.

"Do you believe that children have the right to breathe mask free or to go outside without the latest booster shots? What about the quote unquote 'right to change gender'? Where do rights come from anyways, and why would you trust doctors to give you yours?"

Ad break in the middle of Zuby's podcast with DDK

"There was actually a new Monkey Island that was released recently [...] I haven't played through it. I got to some of the opening scenes and I'm worried that it was maybe a little too affected by, um, you know, woke-ism."

DDK in the Zuby podcast.

"I mean everything's been infected by the woke virus"

Zuby with DDK nodding along

Cousin, why did you agree to go on this podcast if you don't agree with these views? You've agreed to hop on and talk about video games while he's cutting into transphobic and anti-vax breaks. This is so against what so much of the Valorant community stands for.

Don't take my word for it, see for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFEH_H_97pc

not sure why this would be grounds for controversy. its just politics, not life threatening, calm down.

Because transphobes and misogynists shouldn't exist in eSports or anywhere for that matter. You are seriously downplaying the effects that demagogues have on people. People like Zuby seriously hurt marginalized communities, especially trans people but you dont care because im pretty sure if I remember you right you are transphobic

I am not invested enough to watch the whole podcast but only the ad breaks seem to be the issue and I doubt he was aware of them cus it would be a 0iq move for a public figure like him to agree to it knowing the repercussions it could have on his career. Especially cus he is not new to this and has been doing it for years.

dude i have left like 5 comments in this thread its more than just the ad break. He consistently likes Tweets from bigots and has said bigoted things. Wanna explain the Monkey Island comment? Has anyone not transphobic ever said woke?

ALSO here are multiple links to Tweets he liked either by alt-right demagogues or just straight up saying something bigoted
https://twitter.com/patrickbetdavid/status/1678433776920064000
(Patrick Bet-David is a known fascist who constantly spews out queerphobic and racist shit on his Twitter)
https://twitter.com/ZubyMusic/status/1670098987037208577
(Elon Musk and Zuby are both very well known fascists and bigots)
https://twitter.com/MatthewDR/status/1658570015833051176
(This is a post jerking off Elon Musk who as I just said is a very well known transphobe, his own trans daughter disowned him due to transphobic abuse)

I would die for trans rights as I am trans. Without trans rights I am dead. When people try to make it their life to ruin mine ofc Im gonna do something about it. When your view is that a group of people dont deserve rights your opinion deserves to be shunned

tbf I dont find anything wrong with any of those tweets except the last one but isnt ddk a brit so idek why him liking that matters.
Maybe those people are controversial but the tweets seem fine to me.

You dont see anything wrong with suggesting transphobes to be Twitters CEO? You dont see anything wrong with supporting Elon Musk? I mean what more can he do to prove he is transphobic?

Elon is so much more than a transphobe and a bigot(also I dont really know if he is those things either, im just going off your word), there can be stuff about him you like and you dont.
You just seem to be overreacting. Just cus you like certain peoples tweet doesnt mean you are transphobic, jeez man wtf.

Sure if it was just the Elon Tweet I would agree, but when its a dozen Tweets plus multiple statements complaining about wokeism plus him being friends with multiple alt-right demagogues, that suggests a pattern. Also can you please acknowledge his statement complaining about wokeism in a Monkey Island game?? You keep ignoring that.

Bruh I dont even understand what you mean by "wokeism" in Monkey island thats why I havent said anything, like whats the wokeism about? is there a trans character or something in the game, if there is and if thats what he is complaining about then yea for sure he is transphobic.

#32

He didnt elaborate, I quoted it above, I havent played the game so idk what he is referring to but what does wokeism mean other than gay or trans people existing. When has it ever been used in any other context

bruh what discussion can we even have when we dont know whats he referring to, you are just assuming its anti lgbtq+, maybe you are right maybe you are not. but again there are a lot of ways where you can use the word woke for instance fat acceptance.

Again. I bring you back to my other comment. If it was just the one woke comment I would agree. But with the fact that he has shown dozens of different instances of transphobic behavior. I'm inclined to believe the pattern I see. It's not a coincidence that he happens to constantly support alt right demagogues while also agreeing with Zuby with he says transphobic shit. And uses the word woke. He also did not deny he was transphobic at all in his response. Neither did his wife

Do you know what bigot means? A transphobe is a bigot. He supports multiple transphobes, you cant deny that he says hes friends with Zuby and liked a tweet glazing Musk. Also again, he complained about wokeism in a Monkey Island game, no way someone who isnt transphobic would say that

People on reddit just go after whoever has an inkling of a connection to something deemed hateful. They found out DDK has been on a podcast talking about eSports with a transphobic person, but wtf does that have to do with DDK being transphobic? He's just there to talk eSports...

He said he was worried about wokeism in a monkey island game. I havent never heard anyone who isnt transphobic say woke. Let alone complain about it in a monkey island game
