I've given up trying to explain to people that sometimes when Destiny has a really good point that no one else is making it would be awesome if he could reach an audience outside of the incredibly insular community of DGG.

But that's... SOY... and we only do GIGACHAD here. One of the dumbest thing that happened to this community was any talk on optics, rhetoric, or moderation became associated with Vaush. And as Vaush=Optics, Optics=Bad.

There's also a parasocial dynamic at play. This feeling of enamourment for what drew some people to Destiny in the first place: his edginess. The British caller exemplified this fact, aghast at the notion that someone would attempt to slightly change the behaviour he likes about his favourite streamer.
