To the Anti-DSP Community & others
So as you know, recently alot of issues and e-drama has been abrewing throughout the community I've become apart of in the span of 6 months. I would be remiss to say I've never had a hand in all the pot stirring in the span of 6 months as I've put out multitude of Vlogs on my thoughts on DSP's current antics and more importantly, I opened myself up to the option of debates with DSP's true fans, his loyalists.
In the beginning I never thought nothing more of the pro-DSP side other then "they must be normal people like us, with rational logical views to the matter". I reached out to over 50 different viewers of DSP, some Patreon Supporters, some Staff Members, some Viewers who just enjoy his youtube uploads, and some that enjoy his streams. Most of these people come off as normal up-front ad you would think that you might be able to break bread at the table with these as I have.
Let me take you back to where my story begins briefly then apologize for some things I may or May not have caused. In January, I saw a new dsp Emergency video while looking up TIHYDP of LTG antics. After which, I felt I needed to make a video response in regrds to what he stated because none of it made sense or came off as offensive to someone who would enjoy the content. Soon after this, I was contacted by multitudes of people on both sides of the fence asking me more questions on my thoughts. Soon after, DSP uploaded more emergencies and more things were happening much more quickly that seemed to leave many to believe DSP's presents on the internet would finally see an end. This led me to become more involved and make more videos on my thoughts on these things.
My Vlogs on my YT channel "King of Politics" have always been my own and I have never used the platform to do malicious things to anyone of my knowledge. At this time, I felt like there was a strange disconnect between the Pro-DSP fans and DSP himself, it was not logical or rational to see how his fans would react to these topics and charged rants that DSP made. I had then decided to ask DSP personally for an interview, his response? It would cost me $1000.00 for 1 day worth of interviewing as it would "cut into my business schedule". Obviously I took this as an offense and told him no and he was not worth the money, this led to my twitter ban from DSP. I then decided to get a debate going with his head twitch moderator, BrightSideViking after some lengthy talks with him and I assumed he was an okay gentlemen to discuss these things without any personal issues involved. Ofc I was wrong but we all know that now.
Me and Vidar held a debate and from viewer consensus, it seemed I won the debate very strongly with Fred Fuchs and Vidar debate also being handled. It would be wrong of me if I didn't say by this time I had become good friends with the SoK and enjoyed my conversations with them up to this day. After the debate I had wanted to become friends more with vidar and the pro-DSP side as I generally think of all people as straight forward people until they create mistrust or problems. I asked him to play a video game, his response was to claim I was a disturbed psychopath who wanted to watch the world burn due to beating him at a debate. I became angry and let him know I was gonna provide the transactions to the public and let them decide who is the monster.
This led to me and vidar's long history of anger and hatred as he then decided to show that he was a malicious sociopath who used others to do malicious acts against people and enjoyed to hurt others. Recently I've made alot of comments I do not regret but definetly make me question my place in all this and the death of my grandmother followed with the multiple attacks against my work by Pro-DSP fans has made things alot more hectic in my life.
I regret nothing I've stated as all of my thoughts have always been my own and I truly believe what I've stated about dsp and his fans to the tee. I only wish to say that I am truly sorry for any mistakes I've made with the people who aren't bad people or just wanna watch a TIHYDP or a idiot suck at video games.
Some of my friends recently have given me the idea or "egged" me to continue fueds and push more buttons rather then attempt peaceful solutions and apart of me feels justified if I did do that. Would it make me feel better? Yes, but it doesn't mean I am better then thsee monsters at my door. Therefore, I do want to apologize for my actions on twitter and the like. It is not my character and I do not mean to create issues within any community that makes us all forget why we are here.
As of now, I am happy and content with what I have and I will be moving forward with my twitch channel and yt channel. No, I will not be silenced on my vlog channel of my thoughts. I wll continue to upload my thoughts as always but to respect my jobs wishes, I will do it at home on my time rather then in my truck while parked in uniform as pro-DSP fans have attempted to ruin my life too many times now.
If you are an anti-DSP fan and I've ever made opinions of the ethics behind money making off of dsp in general, understand that it is because I do not believe in making money off communities or movements and then you can be opinionated to the cause. It makes you look like an Al Sharpton, in that, you are For Profit and not for the message in my eyes. This strictly pertains to using DSP as a brand maker to make money I.E emoji of dsp's face, tshirts of DSP, music of DSP, etc. I am not a commie and I do believe it's fine to place your content behind ads etc. Just do not pretend you are not in it for money. Recently I was slandered by a Anti-DSP fan for hosting a single twitch stream on a Podcast I've had since 2013 about DSP. The claim then followed that I was always for profit since jan.
I've proven this statement false as I've shown all my videos on my vlog except 2013 game reviews were not monetized. I can't control what happens during a podcast stream that I use to talk about multitude of e-celebs or politics as I am partnered and no I will not host my content anywhere else as I enjoy the platform and website I'm using. It's my right to do so and it does not make me a sellout for doing so.
With all that said, I will be streaming as normal but focusing on not being involved in the petty things and let the chips fall were they may. I hope this clears some things up for anyone wondering and gives a clear idea of where I sit on things moving forward. Again, I apologize for any issues ive caused for you or anyone you know in the past. It was never my intention and I will it at that.
Have a wonderful day,
