I love when completely innocent people say things like “no wrongdoing was acknowledged" and “no criminal charges have ever been brought against me”. I was suspicious before, but if there were no criminal charges then who cares, right? Right?
Say… how far on the dark side of the moon am I living if I never heard about this streamer before? xD
Pretty far 😂 I THINK he was almost as big as Ninja at one point. If you don’t know who Ninja is, then I think you just gotta tap outta this one. Lol
Heh, probably for the better 🤣

If you’re just catching up on this news now: Twitch dropped him because they found Twitch DMs where he was sexting a minor and discussing plans to meet up with said minor at TwitchCon.
Tbf we don’t know if it was sexting, all we know for sure is that inappropriate messages were sent. Not trying to defend him as his behavior was 100% unacceptable and twitch and Midnight Society were right to drop him, we just don’t know enough to definitively say he was sexting them
The accusation from two former Twitch employees, as posted on Twitter, was:
He got banned because got caught sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product. He was trying to meet up with her at TwitchCon. The powers that be could read in plain text.
Beahm’s direct response to that specific allegation is:
Were there twitch whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes. Were there real intentions behind these messages, the answer is absolutely not. These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.
So the detail of “sexting” is “in dispute” in the sense that the predator denies the allegations, but predators always deny allegations. And the fact that his formal denial still included details like “sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate” is really sus.
So to me, saying “we don’t know if it was sexting, all we know for sure is that inappropriate messages were sent” has the same energy as saying “no criminal charges have ever been brought against me”. We don’t need photo evidence to know he was a creep.
Everyone knows the line for inappropriate behavior is criminal charges being filed.
As someone who’s never been into sexting… what’s the difference between “leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate”, and “actual sexting”?
Is anything other than sexting referred to as inappropriate when a minor is involved?
Personally I don’t think these people should be having private conversations with minors at all. It’s fucking weird and stupid and just leaves them open to this kind of allegations.
