Throughout the podcast, several of Destiny's fellow panelists question why Destiny would make his stance on the n-word in private known to the public. They argue stating as much would negatively influence individuals who would otherwise be unable to separate the "shock-value" element of such humor from the "racial-element", and thereby causing these individuals to become racist. <ref>Kormantine questions Destiny making his stance known to the public.

Revision as of 22:08, 9 October 2024

On October 22, 2019 Destiny participated in a political panel hosted by Mindwaves. The panel featured Hasan Piker, TheSerfsTV(AKA Lance), Pxie, Ahrelevant, Bastiat, Kormantine and Cole James Cash.[1] [2]
First topic: Canadian Elections
Following a brief introduction from each panelist regarding their political affiliations and streams, Mindwaves presented the first topic: What does each panelist believe will be the fallout of a recent Canadian Election?. Bastiat, being of the opinion the election will likely be to the economic detriment of Canadians, argues the election has prevented the establishment of oil pipelines across the country. Kormantine takes issues with this, asserting that these pipelines would likely never have been established anyways as the Canadian government never received the consent of First Nations
to establish such infrastructure, and repeatedly requests for Bastiat to stop arguing in hypotheticals. Bastiat counters that this argument is not hypothetical, points out that the land has already been set aside to lay such pipelines, and informs Kormantine that Trudeau
had recently blocked a pipeline bill for $4.5 billion.
During the conversation, both Kormantine and Pixie claims that renewable energies are liable to take off some time in the not-to-distant future, thereby eliminating the country's need for fossil fuels and making any arguments for oil pipelines in the nation irrelevant. Destiny counters that such assertions are unfounded, and that anyone who suggests entirely replacing a nation's dependence on fossil fuels with renewable energies is unserious. Kormantine responds "I know you're not fucking talking right now... what do you know about my country?", to which Destiny sarcastically concedes that it may be possible that Canada has access to some secret alternative energies that nobody else in the world has. Kormantine goes on to assert that Canada is doing fine with their current exports, Destiny responds "doing fine isn't enough with everybody dawg". Before he can continue, Kormantine takes issue with Destiny's use of the word "dawg", and informs Destiny "you don't know me like that".
While the conversation was overall uneventful, it did provide a glimpse into the true intentions of some panelists joining the panel, of note:
- 2:35 When prompted to provide an intro, Cole states that he runs the "ghetto-news-network" and represents the "gangsta-left". In defining the "gangsta-left", Cole explains that he "doesn't play nice" nor "engage in civility, and will "call [anyone] out for actin' foul".
- 10:31 When asked about his feelings about the Canadian Election, Cole explains that the election taught him that Canadians are "very friendly" about their racism. Kormantine agrees with this, caveating that this racism tends to diminish when "black folks" confront white people about this racism.
- 22:39 Cole requesting to move on to the next topic.
Given the apparent desire of some panelists(primarily Cole James Cash) to move on from the subject, the Election discussion only made up the first thirty minutes of the four hour panel before Mindwaves moved on.

Second topic: N-Word in private WIP
https://www.reddit.com/r/Destiny/comments/dmjb18/clarifying_some_previous_events/

Following the uneventful conclusion to the discussion on Canadian Elections, Mindwaves introduces the next topic: Usage of the n-word in private. The topic was allegedly introduced following requests from both Cole and Kormantine prior to the beginning of the podcast, as they were both seemingly eager to confront Destiny on the subject.[3][4] Upon introducing the topic, several members of the panel, Destiny included, can be heard laughing. Of note, Cole James Cash can be heard verbally celebrating the topic's announcement, and Kormantine states "that's the only one I came here for... let's fuckin' go".
Destiny's position WIP
Destiny argues that if one is not racist, is in a private setting, and is among individuals they know are not racist, making edgy jokes for shock value does not necessarily make them racist. Destiny posits a healthy engagement with such edgy-jokes is possible, much like it is possible for individuals to engage in violent video games without becoming violent themselves.[5]
Throughout the podcast, several of Destiny's fellow panelists question why Destiny would make his stance on the n-word in private known to the public. They argue stating as much would negatively influence individuals who would otherwise be unable to separate the "shock-value" element of such humor from the "racial-element", and thereby causing these individuals to become racist. [6][7] In response, Destiny contends that individuals in his audience who consume the array of progressive-orientated and inclusive topics he typically discusses, would not typically fall in the category of individuals taking such jokes beyond their shock value.[8]
Destiny vs. Cole James Cash
Heading into the topic, the initial discussions were quite contentious. To start, Destiny and Cole spend some time holding a fairly unproductive exchange between one another. Following this exchange, Mindwaves would go on to criticize Cole and Kormantine for requesting the topic be placed on the list, and directly chides Cole for being inflammatory. Exchanges like this occurred several times during the first hour of the podcast:
- 28:49 Cole requests for Destiny to "Look at the camera when you speak boy". Destiny retorts: "Don't call me boy mother fucker I don't know who the fuck you are".
- 29:06 Cole asks Destiny when the last time he showered was. Mindwaves and Destiny question how that pertains to the presented topic.
- 29:57 Cole informs Destiny he is displaying "a lot of Yakubian
energy right now. - 31:28 Cole implicitly threatens Destiny, and asks if he's going to TwitchCon. Destiny mocks Cole for this threat, and accuses him of being a wannabe gangster and cringe.
- 32:22 Ahrelevant provides his input on the topic, asserting he is fine with Destiny saying the word in private. Cole responds that Ahrelevant needs to "spend time with [his] own people". Mindwaves steps in, and ridicules Cole of accusing Ahrelevant of "not being black enough" to have an opinion.
- 34:34 Cole informs Destiny that he is "not built" to be stating such statements publicly as his "heart pumps Kool-Aid".
- 55:32 Cole interjects shortly after Destiny accuses Kormantine of engaging in a non-sequitur to inform Destiny that Kormantine did not engage in the logical fallacy. Destiny responds by asking Cole to define what a non-sequitur is, Cole is unable to respond, and Destiny requests for Cole to "shut the fuck up".
On the assertions made by Cole that Destiny deemed warranted a response, Destiny informs Cole that he makes jokes in private with friends he knows are not racist. Destiny continues, explaining to Cole that he has no right to dictate what is said in those private conversations.
Throughout the duration of Cole's short-lived time on the podcast, he is repeatedly scolded by Mindwaves and several other members of the panel for the brash and brazen method he went about discussing the presented topic with Destiny, especially given that the topic was suggested by Cole himself. Several of these interactions between Cole and Destiny typically involved him implicitly threatening Destiny in some manner, accusing Destiny of never stepping foot outside, requesting for Destiny to take a shower, or stating Destiny lacks empathy. This was routinely met with Destiny accusing Cole of being an "internet tough guy", and mocking Cole for the lack of meaningful contributions to the topic. Furthermore, any earnest response Destiny attempted to give to Cole was routinely interrupted by Cole himself. This continues for some time before Cole exits the podcast in frustration after being repeatedly warned by Mindwaves to engage in the discussion meaningfully. Shortly following Cole's departure, Hasan takes his stead.

Destiny vs. Kormantine WIP

In comparison to Cole James Cash, Kormantine took a relatively more subtle approach in his criticisms of Destiny's position. Kormantine's primary argument being that several studies have proven a real social harm arises from individuals sharing/overhearing racial-charged jokes in private. He contends that several white individuals in America tend to not have African Americans in their social groups, and as such, nobody to inform these individuals to not make such racially charged jokes. He continues, pointing out that this occurs even with white people who do have black people in their friends groups. He provides the example of Destiny's ending of his friendship with Trihex over his decision to use the n-word in private, and accuses Destiny of being racist/emotionless.
Despite previously celebrating the topic's announcement and proclaiming it's the topic he joined the panel for, Kormantine questions the presence of the topic numerous times. At the onset of the topic, Kormantine asks Mindwaves: "Did you get what you were looking for out of this?" Mindwaves retorts that Kormantine and Cole came to him with the subject, which Kormantine denies. Kormantine goes on to describe the perceived incentives of certain individuals in the panel, and why a productive conversation could never be had; Ahrelevant being incentivized to agree with Destiny, Destiny being incentivized to maintain his position, and Mindwaves being incentivized to hold this conversation. Despite this, Kormantine remained in the call for the duration of the topic's discussion.
Throughout the panel, Kormantine would frequently attempt to leverage his credentials to speak on certain portions of the topic from a position of authority. During these bouts, Kormantine would routinely claims to study the subject for a living, point to several pieces of literature(both physical and digital) which he alleges back his argument, and chide others in the panel who he deemed to be not well read enough on the subject at hand to voice a valid opinoin.
