Destiny Talks About Edgy Humor

In a recent debate, well-known YouTube streamer and political commentator Destiny explained why edgy humor is no longer acceptable.

Destiny, who is best known for his debate-style content, was one of the first streamers to popularize political discourse across a number of streaming platforms. The livestreamer, who was recently permanently banned from Twitch, has been at the center of numerous disputes himself. The streamer recently fought against edgy humor despite his many detractors and notable burned bridges. The streamer was asked which side of the American political spectrum considered edgy humor undesirable during a conversation with fellow political content creator and artist Sneako. The streamer continued to explain how “motherfuckers on the right” ultimately destroyed edgy humor after Destiny said that it is everyone’s fault. 

Destiny stated, “Motherfuckers on the right took things too seriously. Shit was funny back in the day when we were calling each other racial slurs because we were all weird kids on the internet, but it’s not funny when people are out fucking murdering people in restaurants in Buffalo because they’re trying to do the fucking black genocide. It was funny when you make fun of people’s religion on the internet, but it’s not funny when people walk into a fucking mosque in New Zealand and shoot and kill fucking 30 people because they think they’re being replaced by brown people.”

Destiny claims that he formerly thought edgy comedy amusing, but that these jokes have since been “invaded” by those who have taken the speech seriously and perpetrated hate crimes. Sneako was not convinced by Destiny’s reasoning, but he made his point clear to his large audience.
