Dustam

Dustam (@TheDustam on Twitter) is a Geometry Dash Figure, known for his controversial opinions, especially concerning Robtop, which have grown to be less controversial and more popular as time goes on. He is also a creator and casual player, hosting several (dead) Megacollabs such as Laventa.

He is known mostly for his twitter profile and following which despite being smaller than many, still receives some attention from the community. He also lead the project known publicly as "The State of Geometry Dash" which listed all the problems with Robtop concerning Geometry Dash in a professional manner, it was well received by most apart from those who defended Robtop despite not being able to back up their claims.

His name came from him being a fan of Rustam's levels and needing a new name so he combined the name with a letter he liked which happened to be D.

History
Dustam started playing in 2014 during update 1.5 but wasn't very involved with the community until 2.0 when he began to host and join collabs from the forums, he eventually decided to adopt the name Dustam around February 2017 after being known as IISEANII before that. That same year he started his channel and began his twitter account.

Through twitter he became friends with many who shared similar opinions with such as SEA, WHErwin and many others after this he continued growing.

By July in 2018 he began a project under the name Project Alexstrasa with Hexhammer which aimed to open the communities eyes to Robtop's inability to develop his game in an efficient manner as well as lead the Geometry Dash Community. Due to this he jokingly named himself a GD Activist. Other members of the team included - WHErwin, Juixe (Ultrabagel), Poison, GD Flaaroni, Casutra, S3rios, Cosmix, Water, Nate and later Technical49. After Hexhammer quit GD altogether the project died for a while but thanks to Poison, Dustam gained the motivation to start again. From thereon both of them lead the project. After the script was completed and the video was recorded, Poison edited it together very well and it was released on Caustra and Poison's Youtube channels. It was well received but many people which mainly included mods argued that 2.2 would be excellent and that they shouldn't complain because it was disrespectful towards Robtop. They also refused to show the video to Robtop despite claiming they had contact with him.

In September 2019, Npesta with some advice from Dustam posted a well informed exposing video about Tosh Deluexe regarding his illigitemaye verification of Devil Vortex. This lead to Tosh blocking Dustam when he demanded Tosh respond to the claims against him, this began the trend of calling members of the GD Community "Dashers" as Tosh called Dustam a "Fellow Dasher" and he ridiculed Tosh for it. This lead to Dustam joining a larger group to expose Tosh and to this day Tosh has still not disproved it leading to many being aware he did not record a legitimate verification of the level.

After that Dustam faded away for a while and quit for a month to focus on exams for school and when he returned he resumed his life on Twitter which he is doing to this day.

Conflicts and Dramas

 * The Anime/Hentai Drama - During June 2018 SEA and Dustam were meming about hentai profiles but eventually Noctafly took offence and then a great argument broke out about whether or not lolicon was wrong or not. This drama ended up lasting a month and half with SEA and Dustam being suspended at different points and then returning to start arguing again. This eventually lead to SEA being suspended from Twitter completely until mid-2019 when he returned.
 * Fellow Dashers - After Tosh labeled Dustam a "Dasher" he began to meme Tosh with it, many joined in and Tosh blocked everyone even those who just liked tweets from people. Eventually, Dustam founded the "Blocked by Tosh Server" which included himself, WHErwin, Zynvire, Zenith, the Demon List team and many more who made fun of Tosh. After a while the server was closed when it grew too large. The memes regarding Tosh were brought up a year later when Tosh stole Envy's meme and did not credit him thus leading to him blocking anyone who rightfully called him out for it.
 * The Donutcopper Joke - In April 2019, people had begun to debate whether or not it was ok to joke about peoples deaths with several community members using Donutcopper in their examples. While Dustam did not make any jokes about Donutcopper he did defend those who had previously joked about it saying that it wasn't anyones place to tell them what they can and cannot laugh at. People such as WHErwin and S3rios backed him up but other such as Ramo criticized him. He eventually took it too far however by graphically describing Donutcopper's current state as a way of saying he can't care what people say. Many people turned against him for the disrespect and when something came up irl for Dustam he took the opportunity to slip away for a month to let things cool down.
