I don't think she would have responded so negatively if he didn't have an extremely insulting conversation about the pictures afterwards, and then ignored her when she confronted him. Its not really about the nude pictures (although it might have had some effect). I think after trash talking her so badly its not really so unforgivable or unreasonable to see her lash out this way. I mean I agree that in hindsight she probably did to Destiny something a lot worse than what he did to her (depending on how much Destiny cares about his penis pics being on the internet), but its understandable after you read the chat logs. Just because guys can do it in private and normally get away with it doesn't make it okay (not saying you think that, but I figure that's the attitude some people have) | ||

Sorry haters. wait up here... wouldn't the haters actually be lovers? so you'd actually be the hater because they're destiny lovers? | ||

If a sponsor is afraid of the opinion of a thousand redditors, then they need to face reality... if their business model is so shakey that it is affacted up to the worth of their sponsorship by a thousand or so people on reddit (if even that many emails were sent, collectively, to all sponsors) then perhaps it is their mistake to be sponsoring... | ||

Sorry haters. if he's so low, how come we never got to see her naked pictures? she put his dick on the internet, and he actually is a public figure. if we saw her pictures, people would forget about it in 2 weeks. this is something that will follow him long-term, on the other hand. so let's recap: he did exactly what now? shared a picture with his two friends in a private conversation. oh no. she did exactly what now? intruded on his privacy, then didn't like what she saw, so she hacked his skype and email, and posted his private parts on the internet. no big deal, right? that destiny really is a douchebag... | ||

She got her feelings hurt, steven gets his life hurt. Don't get me wrong, ROOT was right to "let go" steven, but I can't believe people are trying to whiteknight for this girl who grossly overreacted with what was probably a good idea of the potential consequences. Also can't believe there are people in here who think the convo was "disgusting" or something, do you guys even live in real life? A lot of people are so insecure that they need to publicly post these condescending comments from their high horses, hoping to claim some sort of "moral high ground". Plus there will always be white knights on the internet. The girl overreacted quite a bit over something she was never supposed to have known, private conversations are private for a reason y'know. I hope that if Destiny is able to make a case in court and sue her for leaking said conversations or maybe invading his privacy then he does it. (I'm not very familiar with the US legislation or court system, unfortunately - maybe that's not feasible at all) That said I'm not a fan of Destiny. He has done some stupid shit. Maybe he does need to grow up. But I think all of the people who genuinely get offended by this should grow the fuck up too. Stop being so butthurt over trivial nonsense that does not affect your own life in any shape, way or form at all. Seriously, the pussification of this world and the tendency towards a more politically correct society is downright pathetic. But in fact I don't think it's people who got offended that emailed Destiny's sponsors. At least not this time. I think it's just people who hate him with a passion and want to see his career burn to the ground; people who probably didn't bother to read both sides of the story or try to comprehend what they read in the first place. And it's those people who will eventually ruin eSports because they don't bother checking facts (at least the facts that are available anyway) before sending a feedback message to sponsors. And they're only a vocal minority too, it probably wouldn't be as bad if those of us who are lazy (myself included) messaged sponsors thanking them for the support of this scene that we love so much. /rant | ||

I sense energy from the dark side in him, he should first be thrown out of the community and then he should be shot to the moon. Also, did you see his latest post? I wonder if these people can see the irony of their black and white thinking.. | ||

Getting him as far away as possible from ESPORTS is a GOOD thing. You won't be missed, Destiny. Bye. | ||

I'm not even surprised. When he joined Root, the question of his depart was not "will he?" but "when?" and "why?". He has quite a big fanbase, I don't even understand why. He tries to be an entertainer but he fails almost every time. It's not the first time we see something like this revolve around Destiny. He's like Paris Hilton or Snooki but in gaming industry rather than show business. | ||
