    Destin just creeps me out all the time to be honest. I like his content but I just cannot believe that’s who he really is.

      I genuinely believe him to be exactly how he presents himself.

      That being said if he was found out to be like a necrophilic pedophile that doesn’t put carts back in the corral, just an absolutely sick inhuman monster I would not be shocked.

        And it’s always so awkward when he’s continually telling people they are so intelligent. Or when he asks people if they like their job, while having a camera in hand, at their job, while he’s scrutinizing every single aspect of their work. He does that so fucking often to everyone he meets it’s kind of uncanny. I can’t remember anyone else who’s made me feel that way by simply talking. I guess he’s a youtuber and he might do it purposefully but I don’t think I would ever enjoy being in his presence IRL. He kind of bullies people with very uncomfortable phony kindness and triggers some thing in my brain that I only get with very manipulative people usually. And a lot of people he interacts with just don’t engage with his hype and look like they are in fight or flight mode.

        But anyway didn’t want to turn this post into a Destin study. I hope Dianna gets well soon.
