Not a Doc watcher, not a big fan, but the Internet's hard-on for taking claims at face value even without any actual evidence pisses me off. Public opinion doesn't require innocence until proven guilty, but it's a good idea. There have been enough situations of people lying about shit for some personal gain, especially lately.
I have only seen one situation that seems to match ALL of the claims from the hearsay on the Twitch side, because NONE of the people tweeting are first hand sources (they are repeating what they've heard from others), that matches Doc's comments about it, AND the fact that there were no criminal charges filed (these are public record). Because otherwise if it is true at face value, that means Twitch actively helped cover up the fact a streamer was messaging minors like that, AND paid the the contract price as if THEY violated the contract, which certainly has a morality clause in it that Doc would have clearly violated if that were true.
That would fit all of the "facts" as we have heard them from every party, without any criminal charges, with Doc getting paid, and Twitch officially silent. The largest red flag for the "he knew he was messaging a minor to meet up" is no prosecution at all, not even a paper arrest and charges later being dropped. There was never any public legal involvement, which indicates there was never an actual crime, which is what is being claimed.
Also, Cody tweeted multiple times advertising his band's show and stating if it sold out he'd talk more about it. So at that point, he basically loses all credibility as far as I'm concerned, not using it as marketing for his shows. Without hard evidence it not just looks like a way to try and boost his band's sales while he knows everyone will be talking about him and looking him up.
