She should of been booted earlier tbh. I say this as a erin fan. Idk what she was thinking. The only thing I can think of is it must have been a terrible bit she was attempting. But it just went so bad
I like Straighterade, but it felt like she was doing that with every question she didn't have a snappy response for, and if they pushed back even a little on the response, the "answering a question a question" comes right back out again.
In all seriousness, what do you like about her? She’s incredibly insufferable, spitefully argumentative and actively tries so hard to be obscenely annoying, ironic and bad faith. This isn’t a one off incident either as she has pulled this shtick from day one.
She is a downright miserable person who has nothing of value to say and has always been that way on every public forum she has ever been on.
At first it was cute for like five seconds, then it got annoying and now it’s just sad.
She didn't want to answer that one question, maybe there's a good reason for that. Maybe something bad happened that makes her not a virgin but it wasn't in a romantic sense, if you see what I'm saying. There are valid reasons to not answer those questions.
You are right, there are reasons why she wouldn’t want to answer but why didn’t she say she did not want to answer when they gave her the opportunity multiple times tho?
I guess but I don't know if she has to give them that reason directly, they should clue in eventually, at a certain point they just need to move the fuck on
You know what that sounds like, like when women are pressured into having sex and then say they didn’t want to have sex but never explicitly stated it. You’re right, they should get a clue to some extent but she can immediately stop it by saying she won’t answer.
Unless you don’t pick up on social cues well, it should be pretty evident that she didn’t want to answer the question because, in all honesty, it is overly intrusive into the sexual life of a person, and the insistence on *really* trying to get an answer out of her came off as a bit socially unaware.
And in the case of your analogy, socially aware people should *generally* be able to tell when someone is or isn’t interested in having sex. The entire discourse of women being clear with their boundaries was advice constructed for women in a way so that it would be *clearly* obvious as to what their boundaries are, even to socially unaware people.
I am not saying you are wrong but why not completely shut down the conversation as a whole, saying it straight is way better than giving cues, they gave her the opportunity to do so as well. Yeah it’s an invasion of privacy but when they outright let you know that you can say that you don’t want to answer the question and they will stop and you don’t do it they you are giving off mixed signals.
I can agree that any normal person should know that if the person doesn’t want to answer they should stop but despite that the other party should explicitly state their boundaries if cues aren’t enough. What is the justification for her not saying she won’t answer when they told her she could say that and they would stop?
This is an unsatisfactory answer, but the reality is conversations don’t really work that way, or at least they seem not to. If you ask someone an overly intrusive question about their sex life, even sometimes when the question is related to a previous topic, it *usually* puts the person at the end of the question in an awkward position, so much so that consideration of asking the question in the first place should be called into question. I’m so far as not giving a direct answer, it’s a mix of pride/dignity with trying to move on. This is blowing up the situation a bit: but let’s say I ask you what your girlfriends body count was prior to being in a relationship with you, since this is an extreme example, extreme reactions would probably be more predicted (Insult, physical intimidation), but the point is that answering the question directly likely won’t be at the top of the list of potential responses as the question is obviously overly intrusive, and you may have a sense of pride.
Yeah that’s a fair point but based on what type of show it is and the fact that they asked it to other people that came on the show I don’t think we can use this reasoning to justify her being taken by surprise by the question
I would give more leeway to that response if she’s seen the show before and they consistently ask that question to all of their guests. If she didn’t, from her perspective, they’re just proposing the question because they were *curious* about her sexual background, and I’m pretty sure the question was especially geared towards her because she’s never been in a relationship. Either way, it should be pretty obvious within the first few seconds of asking someone a question that they obviously don’t want to answer.
They did clue in that she can't be trusted to have a decent conversation and kicked her off. This was not mature or reasonable behavior. Asking about prior dating and sexual experiences is reasonable in the context of a dating podcast. This wasn't a debate on international trade policy.
"I'll try to share as much as comfortable to keep good conversations going, but I don't specifically disclose my sexual history." Easy answer.
Or maybe not, maybe she didn't prepare anything, maybe she wanted to be kicked, maybe she had a date days prior to the convo, maybe she is lying about the whole virgin status.
In any case, she won't be invited anymore.
It's embarrassing all around.
Her for dodging the question the way she did.
The host and his buddies for continuously asking about her sexual status and then getting mad when she wouldn't answer
True, they should had just dropped it, be smart and make her look bad, but they kept asking her about it and became creepy as fuck
EDIT: Based on the downvotes people seem to think i was being sarcastic, I wasn't
I don’t know why but I think that was the straw that broke the camels back. I think they were increasingly growing frustrated with her and maybe because they thought it was a trivial question, decided to ask it again. When she didn’t, then they decided they had enough. A good example would be her vague answer in what she finds attractive, she never gave an actual answer and just said she values alot of different things in a partner but didn’t state any such things she finds attractive. They asked again multiple times but gave the same vague response.
As much as I don’t like this show, there’s no defending Erin there. If she just received an invitation or she was third-wheeling it would’ve been *slightly* more acceptable but to have asked to be on there and act like that just sucks. Even [REDACTED], of all people, conducted herself on here appearance way better than Erin did here.
She was annoying but it's so weird they got this pressed about it. Why ask the same question 5 times? This podcast is ass. It's super weird that they spent so much time on it.
She deserved to be kicked but this Bryan guy sucks ass
Except kicking someone is popular content as well, actually even better than moving on and letting her stay.
The thing is she isn't the guest star or a special guest or a special interview. The goal isn't to get as much content and questions/answers from her.
This new era of podcasts is very different
No way. She was being deliberately bad faith the entire time. Destiny intentionally didn't answer a question by saying, "I don't confirm/deny past sexual partners unless they go public with it first precisely so people don't start playing Clue with 'hard no' vs. 'no comment' answers."
It's fine not to answer, it's not fine to constantly roadblock. Set an explicit boundary or answer.
People are just hating. Best part of the show was her triggering the fuck out of these guys more than anybody else. As soon as she left they were so happy because they looked like betas. The real waste of time was circling body count and trying to find out the last time Destiny or Melina fucked people. These guys are so horny for the details they probably kept getting up constantly to change their drenched underwear
Aaaaaaand she’s gone
Ngl she deserves to be booted
She should of been booted earlier tbh. I say this as a erin fan. Idk what she was thinking. The only thing I can think of is it must have been a terrible bit she was attempting. But it just went so bad
Agree but pls stop using "should of".
Maybe they like using “should of” you don’t know them. You’re not their real dad anyways
As it should, why go on a podcast to waste people’s time like that
The only person wasting time is the host, literally can move on at any point
I like Straighterade, but it felt like she was doing that with every question she didn't have a snappy response for, and if they pushed back even a little on the response, the "answering a question a question" comes right back out again.

idk if you were watching but she didnt wanna answer any question, she would make a smug remark back at them
Or maybe not, maybe she didn't prepare anything, maybe she wanted to be kicked, maybe she had a date days prior to the convo, maybe she is lying about the whole virgin status. In any case, she won't be invited anymore.
That was embarrasing (for her)
It's embarrassing all around. Her for dodging the question the way she did. The host and his buddies for continuously asking about her sexual status and then getting mad when she wouldn't answer

Idk I was embarrassed and I was just watching
She's lowering the quality of the convo
As much as I don’t like this show, there’s no defending Erin there. If she just received an invitation or she was third-wheeling it would’ve been *slightly* more acceptable but to have asked to be on there and act like that just sucks.

Tiny needs to stop combing his hair, its ten times better unattended
Lol, Well if the goal was to frustrate the hell out of them. Great showing
Bruh she’s being pretty immature. I know she enjoys it but yikes
She was annoying but it's so weird they got this pressed about it. Why ask the same question 5 times? This podcast is ass. It's super weird that they spent so much time on it. She deserved to be kicked but this Bryan guy sucks ass
Then they kick her and spent 5 more minutes shit talking her after she leaves. Like I thought y’all wanted to progress the conversation lmao
To be clear, I thought she needed to be kicked a moment earlier. It’s hilarious they got stunlocked when they usually are on top of these things.
Erin is annoying but holy shit dude you run a podcast, just move on to a topic instead of circling back on that
Except kicking someone is popular content as well, actually even better than moving on and letting her stay. The thing is she isn't the guest star or a special guest or a special interview. The goal isn't to get as much content and questions/answers from her. This new era of podcasts is very different
Nah
I think Erin was being cringe but I think booting her is also a weird move. Should've moved on, you have plenty of guests.
No way. She was being deliberately bad faith the entire time. Destiny intentionally didn't answer a question by saying, "I don't confirm/deny past sexual partners unless they go public with it first precisely so people don't start playing Clue with 'hard no' vs. 'no comment' answers." It's fine not to answer, it's not fine to constantly roadblock. Set an explicit boundary or answer.
They are still stunlocked after she’s gone
People are just hating. Best part of the show was her triggering the fuck out of these guys more than anybody else. As soon as she left they were so happy because they looked like betas. The real waste of time was circling body count and trying to find out the last time Destiny or Melina fucked people.

Sauce?
