dr disrespect banned from Twitch (update: now back)
- Thread starter Lashley
- Start date
Oh, I'm sure the good doctor said "Hey, I have a good idea! I'll film in a public bathroom four times! First, though, I'd better check to make sure there won't be any kids in there. Let me just check the official E3 website. Cool, it says there shouldn't be any kids at E3. Now I'm completely absolved!"
At this rate, the VGAs need to have an "In Memoriam" segment for all these Trending Gamers doing stupid things.
Just that he's trash yet people still follow and support him
And like people have said in this thread he'll come back gain a ton more subs and money and will most likely make some fake ass "apology"
Also unrelated but holy shit is your avatar from Begotten?
Nah, that's just humans not trying to find out what's behind the mask, so to speak.
Life's simpler that way.
Anyway, that cameraman is done. And why do that, seriously?
you completely missed my point.
but judging by some last post here, it seems that a lot of people calling others (and also Dr Disrespect) idiots should also give themselves a look... so everything completely normal here as usual.
Or, maybe pretending to be an asshole and doing things an asshole would do is functionally identical to being an asshole.
"Oh, that's just Billfisto, the guy who slaps food out of your hands. He's not a jerk, it's just a character he plays".
Wait, what was your point, exactly?
He video taped underage boy in a bathroom going pee and you come into a thread to try to defend him and blame it on the E3 staff. No I'm pretty good with my position that he's a disgusting sick human being and so are the sick disgusting idiots in here trying to defend him.
Really speaks a lot to the character of all these guys' audiences. They all come in here and make the same throwaway posts
Nobody's just an asshole. Yeah, he's an idiot, but if everyone's gonna keep memeing and categorising people all day through the news that we read, not sure why we have forums or social media anymore.
You can predict the outcome: valid outrage, but it's still pointless. I probably shouldn't have commented anyway.
You have an opinion, that is a really good thing, everyone should have one! ;)
I'm guessing the lawyers from all sides got involved and told everyone not to say anything.
That tweet was the epitome of shade at Disrespect. Now you sound like someone who hates Ninja because you shot off your snark too quickly before reading what he said.
Come on bro. Real life isn't like your anime. Just think back and take not how quite a few guys will still use a stall to piss instead of a urinal. It is a big deal for quite a few men. Have some empathy and better awareness.
There are all sorts of predictable reasons why E3 has a "no minors" *policy*—not law, mind you—none of which are "a grown man might be illegally recording you in the public bathroom".
This dude also cheated on his wife.
The cameraman did it because the guy paying him kept telling him to follow him into the bathroom.
The fuck? ...broadcasting to the world, folks using a private facility to urinate or otherwise is not that big of a deal?
So don't pretend to be one then. There isn't a better quote to summarize this asshole.
Lawyers? Is there any indication that this even escalated to something that serious? I don't recall him getting arrested, unless I missed that part of the story.
thought it was pretty clear, at least others got it.
keeping it simple, he is for sure to blame for this stupid thing of filming in the bathroom (probably more who was handing the camera but he's the face so he's responsible anyway), I'm not defending THIS thing anyway and I felt uncomfortable myself while watching it live.
But I go proud of myself (in a lot of cases not just this) to be just as open minded to not just raise the pitchfork and call the gallows on anyone or anything with this ease.
tough, as I quoted, the whole "minor" thing should at least kept out of discussion (more from the press I think), cause some OTHER in that case hasn't done his job correctly, admitting an underage to an expo/con that is not allowed for children/underage.
end of the story by my side.
He committed a misdemeanor and live streamed it. You don't need to get arrested to want a lawyer. Hell I got cited for underage drinking and my parents forced me to use a lawyer to plead down. I was never arrested.
Congrats on being so open-minded that, as they say, everything falls out
It's definitely that serious. Even if he isn't charged, there still could be civil cases brought against Doc and the camera man. Not sure if Twitch or the expo would be involved in it, but I'm sure they're covering their bases.
I respectfully disagree with the whole "him cheating is none of our business". If he were any of us, a nobody on the internet/world, sure, none of our business. But he's one of the most watched and influential dudes on the platform, thousands of kids/teens watch his antics daily. His actions carry some weight, and to be sending those kinds of signals that "is ok to cheat on your partner, just look how I got away with it", is not something a grown ass man should be doing. In this case "look how I broke once again Twitch TOS and disrespect people privacy and get away with it".
Is the same reason why people were pissed at ProJared, and pissed at Ninja -the whole "I don't play with girls on stream so people don't think I'm cheating" instead of using your huge pull to educate your audience and not being jeopardizing women-, look at how this kids are seeing you (I know parents should be doing their work to educate their kids, but let's be real, few of them actually do).
So yeah, I get that a lot of this stuff should be dealt in private and away from us, but I don't like how people downplay the actions of big influencers like that. We are all human, we all make mistakes, I get it, but own them, heal properly, make a statement, then return.
Sure that could happen. But, I'm asking if there are updates or anything on what's actually happening right now.
Yeah man, people need to stop being offended by the idea of being filmed in a bathroom without giving consent.
The fuck is wrong with you?
Didn't he make a statement regarding his cheating? I can see your points, but I don't agree with them since kids isn't suppose to watch him since (I now assume) is intended for a mature audience.
I give that to him, he actually apologized out of character, then returned two weeks later in grandiose fashion like nothing happened. Seems like he was quickly forgiven by his wife. Fair game. And yeah, much like kids shouldn't be allowed at E3, they shouldn't be watching the Doc, but there's not much we can do it about it.
I think kids are the only people that watch him. I'd be worried if an adult found his channel entertaining lol
