How quickly we went from "I didn't do it" to "I did it, but it wasn't that bad".

Wait for it...
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
I'm no fucking predator or pedophile
Well.... If the person was a minor, and you weren't, and you knew they were young and the messages were 'leaning inappropriate', you're a pedophile.
Also a predator.
I hate to get so semantical but using the word pedophile incorrectly just desensitizes the word. Pedophilia means being attracted to children, primarily meaning before or in the early stages of puberty, usually younger than 13. In fact, many pedophiles would not be attracted to someone aged 15+ because they are typically exclusively or primarily interested in prepubescent bodies.
That doesn't mean this guy isn't a total asshole, but he's not a pedophile, and I think anyone can understand an adult sexting an older teen, while still absolutely horrid, is quite different from sexting a child.
Once again, absolutely not defending this guy, I don't even know who he is... but I think it's important not to desensitize the word.
I know the distinction, but hebephile doesn't carry the same weight. Also, I believe I read the minor was 12. So... Pedo.
I stand by what I said. We don't need to be apologistic towards the scum of the earth. Kids are kids.
Is anyone else bothered (but not surprised) by the fact that Amazon/Twitch agreed to cover it up for him? Seems pretty wild that they should be off the hook for working to protect his image after doing predatory shit like this.
I think they kept it on the low because they don't want people realizing that they're viewing the contents of their whispers, even if you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
Everyone will forget about twitch's involvement within a week. Just like every time literally any big event happens with any company.
From the article, it sounds like he knew they were a minor and still leaned into the conversations. Why? Why TF would you even be curious about it?

wop wop wop wop wop
I have this feeling this is probably not the last controversy involving minors we will see shake out of his mustache this week. Justin Roiland had his empire also collapse from grooming. Guy is done.
That's why drake is done too? The guy who beat the shit out of a woman and tattooed it on himself? Drake the groomer with his new album? That done?
That's the thing right. Nobody gets "cancelled"
They get called out and shamed.. and then carry on with business a few weeks later.
Rammstein is filling stadiums again, drd will come back from his vacation and keep on trucking on.
They never face consequences and yet they cry about a woke cancelculture that only exists in their heads to hype up their own bullshit
"Help! Help! I am being held accountable for my actions. The whole woke mob is coming after me and trying to cancel me!"
very funny to release what is clearly a meticulously crafted response to career ending allegations of pedophilia while still staying in character as like the bad guy in a movie where a golden retriever learns to play counter strike
Yeah I’ll believe that when they release the transcript of what he said to the minor
Fine. I won't pick a side. I won't crucify anyone without evidence. So...release the transcripts. That seems like the logical step.
The transcripts won't be released unless they're leaked. Giving out any details about the minor he was chatting with risks exposing the victim, who is possibly still a minor. Releasing the transcripts would be an incredibly damaging move, and not to Beahm; people would almost certainly doxx the kid immediately, possibly putting them at even greater risk of harm than they would have been in to begin with.
We don't need to see them, anyway. We're not involved. We have nothing to gain from reading the details. If self-admitting to having inappropriate conversations with minors isn't evidence enough to convince you one way or the other, then I really don't see how reading a sext thread with a child will make much of a difference.
It was seven years ago. Unless he was talking to a ten year old, they're not a minor anymore.
Twitch settled with him instead of losing in arbitration for banning him. I want to see the the transcripts. It sounds like part of his settlement was that he couldn't talk about it but ex twitter employees violated the nda. That's a lot of work on twitches side to keep it hushed which makes this weirder.
He's a massive pos so it Wouldn't surprise me if he did do something worthy of this witch hint but damnit i want to see the texts before i burn him when twitch is being so weird about it.
That sounds... Disrespectful.
Why is this guy still around after bathroom?
Huh?
He streamed inside a public bathroom at E3. Then there's also the thing where he cheated on his wife. I don't know why people are so drawn to online personalities who prove over and over again they're bad people with no intention to change.
If I recall correctly, he filmed some people in a bathroom without their consent
Oh. Yeah fuck this guy.
I keep thinking back to years ago when someone at work tried to tell me this guy was good and I could just tell on vibes alone to stay clear.
Seems like I have to add this moron to the ignore list right next to Musk, so I no longer see posts about him.
When you act erratic like that, you got caught. If you were innocent of even intention no long winded explanation of "they want me to disappear" would be necessary as the messages wouldnt even exist. The dildo of consequences has arrived for Guy Beahm.
Does anyone have a link to a source on the age of the kid? I'm wondering if I'm missing it. People keep saying she's 17. Was that in one of his edits?
