Destiny's response to Philip Labonte

Several months after Destiny's appearance on Tim Pool's podcast, All That Remains singer Philip Labonte sent a tweet claiming Destiny was rude to him in the podcast's Green Room. After an exchange between the two over twitter, Destiny would go on to send a several paragraph long response expressing his frustration with Phil's behavior(both in person and online). Many members of Destiny's subreddit found the entire exchange quite entertaining, and were quite sympathetic to Destiny's position. While those with a disinclination towards Destiny, including content creators such as Anthony Fantano, were quick to deride Destiny for his "diva" like behavior.
