I also had hoped this wouldn't happen. It makes me very sad. Destiny will be all right and will continue to grow and do great things. I hope many people learned a lesson from this. I believe in you. You are an amazing, kind, intelligent, thoughtful, courageous young man, and so much more. We all make mistakes. This is behind you. I can't wait to see you in the coming months. I love you :-) <3

I'm pretty sure Steven leaving Root crashed Reddit today...

Although Obama's AMA might have also contributed to the strain on the site.

The girl had his password from his email, and apparently he used the same password for everything.... Nobody leaked anything, she spied on him. So she wrongs him by spying and then decides that she'll enact her screwed up form of retribution. I'm just sad for Destiny, I don't even like him that much. I'd be sad for anyone in this situation.

Are you nerds serious? How can you honestly support this god damn fool called Destiny?

Let me build a scenario for you.

Forenote, *I am from Australia*

Imagine a politician or a school teacher, is caught sending naked images of his penis to a 15 year old. Imagine she is sending him naked images.

He is caught in a chat, talking about potentially having sex with her.

I can tell you now, that the chat alone would be enough to put him on the listed Pedophiles list and taken to jail for years.

After these details are made public, he threatens her, attempting to have her funding removed be it legal or educational aid or even just general needs such as food and rent.

I can garantee you, not one person would be on the side of the pedophile.

You would not see anyone making comments saying, welp that 15 year old girl shouldnt have sent naked images or herself.

Are you god damn idiots missing the point?

Im fucking appaulled at some of the comments in this thread and on reddit supporting him.

I for one, do not support child sex offenders.

The last comment above this I read was comparing him to the prince of England...are you kidding?

The prince wasnt dancing around with 15 year olds.

User was warned for this post

THIS!!!!!! U made my day, now i can go to sleep.
But srsly, why so much hate rage against him, explain it a little bit more pls.

If you actually read what happened fully you would know that he did no such thing to a 15 yr girl. A different girl (who is legal ^^) got made when destiny made fun of her looks and hacked into Destiny's account and posted the pictures you are referring too.

On topic, I heard Destiny all-killed for root, is this true?

I feel bad for Destiny in this situation and I don't wish ill will towards him, but I do hope he learned his lesson and understands that what he did was horribly wrong. In this age, it's very easy to get caught up in the norm, Reddit has a subsection full of these sort of pictures. It's no big deal right, it was people that she never would have met, and it's normal these days..right? Here's the problem, it's her body, therefore it should be her choice. Those pictures out there, in reddit or where ever, they are 'hopefully' done by those IN the picture, and usually regretted later in life. If not, then it's just as messed up as what happened here. Destiny had no right to do what he did, it was messed up in every way no matter how minimal the damage seems, she had no control over what he did and if it ever comes back to haunt her, she can't point the finger at herself and learn from her mistakes, this happened by someone she trusted through no fault of her own. What she did in retaliation Destiny deserved (even though two wrongs don't make a right here, he's in no position to cry foul), and although I feel everyone makes mistakes, I've made my own, I can only hope he's learned from it, taken responsibility for it as best as he can, and move on a bigger man.

The situation sucks, and it's not one of those things where I want the guy to die in a fire but some random idiot on the net could get ahold of that photo of her, pass it around and it could end up who knows where, where her family might stumble on it, some porn website a family member uses (who doesn't watch porn, c'mon), a job might stumble on it, who knows. The worst thing is this wasn't through her actions, he put someone elses life to shame, possibly at risk through no fault of her own, and she gave him a taste of his own medicine. I still think he's a good man at heart and got caught up with the norm and I really hope he will man up to this mistake and not throw blame around because that will only convince some of his gullible fans in a vulnerable age group that they can do the same and be as cool as him.

Very very unfortunate. I'll still watch his stream regularly but it's going to be impossible-level hard to find another team now....

True, true.
I really wonder why he would want to try to sound cool and all, but have no clue what the hell was going on in the first place? I mean if he has something to say, he should do so only if he at least knows the names of the people involved and in this case the difference between a 15 year old girl and an adult woman.

I don't really care about what is going on, and have not really followed Steven, even if I have been aware of his infestor play, and his reputation. But from watching his interviews he is a really cool and intelligent guy, and genuine person to boot, which is a trait I thoroughly enjoy.

So please, sign me up.

So I have decided that Catz called a meeting of all the ROOT members to discuss what to do about Steven and they sat down together to put it to a vote. They went around the room one by one deciding Steven's fate, and the vote was split 50/50 with Catz about to cast the final vote that would seal Steven's future with the team... WHEN SUDDENLY STEVEN bursts into the room! He puts forth his RESIGNATION effective IMMEDIATELY! He then quickly leaves them in silence with no one but Catz knowing how the voted would have ended...
