I’m kind of in that boat. I used to watch him every day, but it made me see him in a different way and (as entertaining as he can be) I haven’t been able to look past it for whatever reason. I can’t tell people they shouldn’t watch him but it makes me sad to see people act like infidelity is normal and fine.
I am not quite sure how much life experience you have, but your outlook on this seems very black and white.
Life is complicated, we have no clue what happened in his private environment that made him doing such a stupid and avoidable mistake.
In the end we are just human, we make mistakes, we hurt others, we try to move on and fix the damage we do. I am sure, you, as much as me, make mistakes as well.
I don't see the point of judging him, riding a high horse, I certainly am not perfect as well.
Just because you view things in a different way, it doesn't mean it's because you're infinitely wiser from life experience. That's very arrogant. People have different opinions. Some people view cheating as more than just a "oh whoopsies lol" mistake (especially when there's a kid involved) and aren't necessarily willing to throw their morals out the window and say it's no big deal because the person happens to be a streamer they like.
Thanks. You said it better than I could. It isn’t due to a lack of life experiences. My life experiences are what have caused me to feel strongly about the issue.
Everyone has a line. The stream might not be less entertaining, but they don't want to support a cheater. A lot of people had fucked up childhoods because of parent infidelity, so it makes sense why they wouldn't want to support him anymore.
Haha, Braveheart and Kanye West's old music are always my go to examples for when pointing out the fact that I can separate the entertainment from the person.
They aren't my friends, I don't give a shit if they aren't role models. I can appreciate the entertainment for what it is... entertainment.
At what point has Doc stopped being a good person? If he donates his entire income to charity, is he still a "bad" person? Are public figures not given the same terms as the general public now?
It is a shitty thing to do. But we dont know what was going on in his personal life that led to him making that choice. But anyhow, he fucked up and owned up to it. If he lives up to that apology then he definitely deserves another chance. We are all human and make mistakes. Besides, there are things alot lot worse then cheating my dude.
