I don’t know if you guys know who Hutch is, but I loved his content in the early 2010s. It was mostly COD stuff and I haven’t watched him consistently in years, but I kept the subscription because of how much I liked him as a teenager. In a time when the content was a lot of toxic gamerbro shit, Hutch made genuine videos talking about depression and showing vulnerability and that really spoke to teenage me.
Last month he made a video where he’s switching to only politics stuff now and I stayed subscribed because I don’t watch that much YouTube content anyways and I could forgive him being a liberal demsoc. But teaming up with Destiny is a bridge too far.
I can excuse bad content, but pro-genocide crosses the line.
Nanners thankfully does not seem like he’d ever get into politics. Destiny is a StarCraft pro who now does politics. He calls himself progressive yet takes every opportunity to defend Israeli genocide and anything the US does abroad.
Calling Destiny a pro is a stretch.
As much as I dislike him I will say that he was sorta on the cusp of being a foreign pro (as opposed to Korean pro which in starcraft was the real pro tier) playing some North American pro-am tournaments and was on some NA teams though that was more due to him being a successful streamer than a player.
But I can confidently say that he never really made it to pro level.
His career is more that of a proto-pewdiepie becoming more and more of a scratched lib as he became washed up as a gaming streamer and pivoting to politics.
His stream always sucked btw and he was only tolerable on podcasts because the other hosts knew how to play off his antagonistic shit well.
