its crazy how easy it is to automatically hate someone because of a different political view than yours.

look at how people immediately paint a picture because of a few twitter likes

he isnt saying anything controversial, he isn't advocating for it. all he does is esports, he coaches, casts, and yet not a single drop of politics has tainted his career thus far.

yet when he gets invited to a podcast that is slightly controversial, and his twitter likes get "exposed" he suddenly becomes a hateful bigot who deserves cancellation?

this is what you call intolerance.

it isn't intolerant to not tolerate those who dont think you should exist (transphobes). not tolerating ddk's intolerant opinions isn't intolerance, its just rational. reason doesnt seem to be something youre familiar with

that would be like a Palestinian tolerating a zionist who claims your country doesn't exist. let me take it a step further, it would be like an Israeli saying you identifying as Palestinian does not change the fact that you are in fact on Israeli land.. see how messy this gets?

it would be like someone saying Palestine is a 3rd world hellhole full of terrorists, corruption, and uneducated idiots... you shouldn't tolerate that belief about your people. saying trans people have a mental problem (which you did in a comment below or on the other thread) is not a belief we should tolerate. if you were in a position of power, which thank god you're not, you should be canceled for spouting such hateful, intolerant garbage.

i want to be clear, I support Palestine, i have slept with many palestinan women and transwomen and we have shared deep, intense, pulsing moments of passion. I am just using your own logic against you (not that you understand logic, you clearly seem to be brainwashed)

DDK's statement:

A bit late to the party here, but I wanted to leave a comment to address some of the concerns I've seen.

Regarding the podcast in question, I had absolutely no idea those advertisements would be run. However, to be clear, I don't support many of Zuby's political views, but like most people, that won't preclude me from having a conversation with them. My policy is to speak to anyone who wants to discuss esports with me, regardless of which side of the political spectrum they sit on.

Thanks to those who chose to weigh my character from my overall contributions in content and broadcasting over the last 13 years and in how I treat anyone who I interact with, regardless of their identity. Gaming is a place for everyone--and it saved me. It's a large part of why I want to share my personal story, especially with those who are not supporters of esports or understand its power for good.

I'm sad things turned out this way, but moving forward, I will recontinue my focus on producing content that esports fans and players find useful, as I always have.

---------------

this guy is just an esports commentator, and he himself said that he does not want to get into the political sphere, so jest let him do that! be tolerant like you always have!

If you don't wanna talk politics, why are you even putting this here in the first place? But now you've forced this on people. Atleast give some context.

look at how people immediately paint a picture because of a few twitter likes

What did he like? I genuinely don't know. Few twitter likes could be some edgy jokes or liking some neo nazi's post about how the holocaust wasn't real. Stop using vague terms you shitbag.

It reminds me of when people said notch was being cancelled for being weird on twitter. I thought oh damn that sucks for him, people can't even be dumb on twitter?

I went to his twitter and he was tweeting how the jews silenced him or some friends or some shit.

i paste from another thread, this is what i mean about people getting mad becuase of a few twitter likes

someone said :

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)
https://twitter.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1657253608944197632
(This post is suggesting 3 known bigots to be Twitter CEO)
https://twitter.com/KonstantinKisin/status/1652549072660643840
(Extremely nationalistic Tweet from a very well known fascist)

by god he just seems like an insufferable 15 year old tech bro who watches alpha videos and Elon musk CEO Grindset videos cause he had no good father figure in his life AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

The last tweet is very sus though but I feel like most elonmusk fans are just dumb tech bros who don't understand how tech or the market works.

I noticed he was following Matt Walsh months ago and I immediately lost hope

Funny enough, with the way Nade has been talking on his own podcast, I actually doubt he was let go because of his political views

"if a so-called tolerant society permits the existence of intolerant philosophies, it is no longer tolerant."
There is no need to tolerate intolerance. That's just intolerance. If someone is transphobic they do not deserve a spot in a scene that was heavily built by queer people.

Transphobes are awful, imagine actually being so fucking self-absorbed that you decide because YOU dont understand something you decide that group doesn't deserve rights

also calling Zuby slightly controversial is being very dishonest. Zuby very openly queerphobic and supports a lot of fascist ideas

"A different political view" here being "I think certain people don't deserve human rights". THAT is called intolerance.

It's like going to a public execution and telling the person about to be hanged that their desire to live is really intolerant towards the people who think they should be hanged.

don't post about politics if you don't want people talking about politics
DDK can't be so stupid that he thought going on a crackpot fascist podcast in his position would come without consequence. or idk, most of these people aren't very smart
