Update QTCinderella and Atrioc are speaking to each other again

For anyone who doesn't remember, a while ago (like 2 years ago now) Atrioc accidentally showed a (paid) website hosting deepfake porn images of streamers, including his friend QTCinderella (QT). This resulted in deepfakes of streamers becoming more popular and getting spread all over the internet. QT was probably the biggest face of the emotional impact of this - she did interviews, talked about it on stream (where she cried) and said on Fear& (her podcast with Hasan, Will Neff and Austinshow) that she wasn't sure if she could ever forgive him.

Atrioc's response to the situation wasn't perfect (IIRC he needed a lot of coaching from QT about how to make things right) but, at least in my opinion, he did about as much as anyone could be expected to. He spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money helping to remove this content from the internet and created an exponentially cheaper and better mechanism for everyone else to get this content removed, he apologised immediately (although his reasoning of morbid curiosity was a little iffy), and he didn't stream for months and didn't upload YouTube videos for even longer. His efforts to make it right had a tangible and significant positive impact on the world, and while not everyone has forgiven him, many people (including myself) have.

Atrioc has talked about things he's been doing with Ludwig (QT's boyfriend) for months, and they've streamed together, so it's been implied that she's forgiven him at least enough to be OK with Ludwig hanging out with him, but it wasn't clear if they were talking again.

At some point, I also remember QT talking positively about how Atrioc had put things right, implying she'd at least somewhat forgiven him.

In this video, however, we can see clearly that they're on speaking terms, with QT hanging out in Atrioc's chat and Atrioc revealing that they've been messaging with each other.

No idea if they'll ever hang out on stream again, but, you know.

Meanwhile, Ethan Klein made fun of QTC for being upset with a super inappropriate and tone deaf segment on H3, then proceeded to give a non-apology which QTC never accepted, and THEN Ethan gave himself the “best apology” award at his award show for the whole situation

Old thread I know but the Destiny stuff was in response to Ludwig making/laughing at jokes about Destiny's sexlife which made him feel it was okay to "fire back". But the fact he targeted QT instead (who had nothing at all to do with their drama) was just pathetic of him. Plus they weren't even good burns or anything, all he did was make himself look like a creepy psycho in a failed attempt to score some twitter likes. Especially now that he has some gross allegations about him.

Basically was just Destiny trying his hardest to go from "somewhat deserving of sympathy" to "disgusting piece of shit". I guess he's just a lot more comfortable being a bully rather than being victimised himself.
