He also got suspended from Twitch in 2019 for filming in and streaming from a convention bathroom. This guy seems like a monster. Somehow seems relevant but perhaps The Verge writers forgot about it.
I watched that stream live.
He went to bathroom, announced beforehand, and his camera man fucked up and went in with him to bathroom, while he went into a stall for a number 2. The camera guy realized his mistake and walked out of the bathroom fairly quickly.
That incident isn't the way you're making it out to be.
He announced he was doing something unethical and illegal. He then did it on camera. I guess I have standards for people's privacy that are too high. Listen when people tell you who they are, even in the most "innocent" of ways.
Damn when did having a shit become illegal
Recording in a bathroom isn't?
I dunno about the US but in the UK it isn't a crime to accidentally record nothing happening in a public toilet
It isn't a leap to deduce his shock-jock reason for shooting in a fucking bathroom that was cut short. It is amazing to me how many people stan this shit ass.
Oh no I dislike him, the problem is you coming off as a complete jackass
I didn't watch it, but based on the comment you are replying to, he did nothing wrong? He said he's going to the bathroom, and went to the bathroom. His camera man got confused and followed him to the bathroom, saw he's in a bathroom, and left. If anyone did anything wrong it's the camera man, but clearly it was just a mistake.
Right, blame the actions of the man in charge trying to shock his viewership on the camera person.
You do you, in this scenario I think the camera man shouldn't be blamed.
I was sarcastically agreeing with you. The man in front of the camera is to blame.
Surely we must all learn from you, an infallible saint, who has descended from on high to become a paragon of virtue, and, by the way, totally watched the stream being discussed.
Why, someone of your holy mandate would never be caught morally posturing self-righteously on the internet solely on hearsay and bias!
I am listening to who you say you are.
For your own good you should include the possibility of being wrong in your worldview
I'm good with making the assertion that this guy is a piece of shit. It is bearing out as true. There were signs before he was caught talking to minors.
I do agree with you about the streamer for sure
