Notoriously outspoken Kick streamer Destiny, legally known as Steven Kenneth Bonnell II, has been banned from the platform for hate speech.
In an email received by the streamer (via Drama Alert), the streamer was banned from the platform for gloating over the Donald Trump supporter that was killed during the assassination attempt on the former president.
“This is the fucking retard that got killed at the Trump rally? FUCKING LMAOOOOO,” the streamer said while gloating over the former firefighter’s still warm corpse.
Destiny gloated over the slain firefighter, who we now know was Corey Comperatore, while sharing an old post the latter made on Twitter/X saying he’d rather save Russian president Vladimir Putin over US rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, former first-lady Hillary Clinton, and current US President Joe Biden.
This quickly got shared around and led to Destiny getting banned off streaming platform Kick until at least July 31st. The repercussions for his speech didn’t end there, though.
The post Destiny made eventually was shown directly to Twitter/X owner Elon Musk, questioning if the post is grounds to demonetize Destiny’s account on the platform.
Musk promptly responded, “You’re right, this is not appropriate content for advertisers,” and Destiny’s account was demonetized on the platform as well, effectively cutting off all revenue he could make from streaming or posting on social media – the latter of which he seems to do more.
When users tried to engage Destiny in civil discourse and question why he was happy someone was killed seemingly over politics, he tripled down on his violent rhetoric.
“I’m sure Corey and Babbit are both having fun with each other in hell right now,” Destiny said, suggesting the slain firefighter and a woman that was innocently killed during the January 6th, 2021 riots (Ashley Babbitt) are both in hell.
When someone asked him if this topic was the “hill to die on” he replied with more ghoulish rhetoric: “Don’t you mean the bleachers he wanted to die on?”
Lastly, when publicly confirming and responding to his ban from Kick, Destiny lambasted anyone outside his increasingly small world view.
“Never apologizing for the way I treat conservashits in this country,” the streamer said while confirming his ban from Kick streaming.
Numerous other notable public figures have gloated on the near-death upon the former US President, like Tenacious D’s co-founder Kyle Gass, or Nightdive Studios head Stephen Kick who boycotted a company for supporting Trump after the shooting.
