I’ve never heard of this guy but I’m not very attentive to streamer drama. Is this significant beyond there now being N+1 known bozos in the world instead of N?
There’s also N-1 streamers.
It’s significant because it has been otherwise unknown why he was banned off twitch back in 2017 when he was their biggest streamer. Lots and lots of speculations were had and finally the bomb dropped last week as to why
Who is he? What does he stream about? Is he really a doctor?
Mostly FPS shooters, Battle royales and the latest trending games. He was streaming the elden ring dlc when the bomb dropped.s
Will we ever see the transcript?
The amount of people eager to see a sexting thread with a child is fucking absurd.
Have you never seen the show to catch a predator?
Yeah, and there’s a much different context. Those aren’t real children on the show. Those text threads are with adults on both ends. The entire interaction from start to finish is mitigated by professionals.
We’re talking about a situation involving a real child, not a sting operation where there isn’t an actual victim. There’s a real child whose identity would be put at risk of being exposed by releasing the logs.
This isn’t primetime TV drama. This is a real situation involving a real minor. You should take a step back from the screen for a minute if you’re struggling to see the difference.
And you just know some one will end up trying to dox the kid, too.
DAMN! Did everybody else hear that mic drop too???
It’s probably less “wanting to see a sexting thread with a child” and more “curious what this asshole said that was inappropriate.” Not that absurd.
For example, if your coworker got fired for saying something inappropriate, would your first question not be, “what did they say that got them fired?”
Kind of a natural human reaction to be curious.
This, plus just how egregious was it?
No one is wanting to read these messages like they’re 50 Shades of Grey or anything like that. Well, there’s probably somebody but that’s not why most want to see it. Clearly it was not bad enough to get the police involved at the time, so we’re talking less than To Catch A Predator.
Ignoring the age difference for a second, because that part is not relevant to my specific point here… What some people consider flirty, others consider creepy. On a similar note, the same comment coming from a person someone considers attractive and from someone they find ugly often has a completely different reaction.
Doc says that it crossed a line, that’s not under debate by anyone at this point. He says there were no pictures, etc. exchanged, just messages and there was no intent to meet up or anything like that. On the other side one of the original tweets claimed they were sexting. Peoples definitions of sexting can vary dramatically as well.
So clearly the messages went over the line of being inappropriate, no argument there from anyone paying attention, but how far over that line was it? Were they truly explicit messages, or just inappropriate within the context of a 35 year old talking to a minor?
Because until we see it, unedited, we don’t really know the truth of what occurred.
I think it’s more about people wanting definitive proof that he knew and that it would be evidence that could warrant legal repercussions.
I’m 100% certain that if he actually didn’t know the kid’s age beforehand, that he would have said so in one of his responses. If the situation was anything other than what everybody is already suspecting, he would have put it out there instead of letting the internet speculate wildly. He wouldn’t just be sitting on that little nugget of information if it existed. He was too specific in his responses to have left that out unintentionally.
This barely qualifies as technology news, come on. Also let the dude burn, fuck giving him any publicity.
Look, OP might have leaned in the direction of posting in the wrong community, but they didn’t actually do anything illegal ok.
Too late, I’m sharpening my pitchfork!
. . . And my axe!
No wrongdoing was found!
Please stop sharing anything about “Dr. Disrespect.” I do not care about this person at all.
I don’t care about trump at all…imagine how I’ve felt the last 10 years.
dr disrespect doesn’t affect us all
He doesn’t affect me at all. I heard of him once about 5 years ago…and then I forgot he existed until this development.
trump doesn’t affect me either…but he’s shoved into my face every minute of every day. And there’s no stopping it. Even if some nutjob killed him, he would STILL be in the news about why he was killed. Nobody talks about Lyndon Johnson, but everybody talks about JFK. Nobody talks about Andrew Johnson, but everybody remembers Lincoln.
Point is, there is no escaping it. At least with dr disrespect, you can just move on from that ONE post, and your day will be free of him for the rest of your day. Not so with trump.
You brought up Trump here.
Once again Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart makes a very valid point.
Well done.
How the fuck is this “technology”? This community is flying very close to the line of what is in topic most of the time anyway. This by far and away crosses it.
It’s YouTube drama and it doesn’t belong here. I’m not saying it’s not interesting/important but it’s off topic and doesn’t belong here.
On surface level, sure. But the consequences of this drama will be seen across the industry. Google and Amazon both appear to have worked to have kept this quiet, which raises a lot of important questions about how the business of video streaming will handle child safety.
Even though it may seem like drama, there’s an important story here, and it directly involves the futures of some key players in the tech sector so it’s relevant.
The article states nothing of that though.
Yeah, but it is on the internet.
No idea who this is, but I can already tell my the fake getup that I do not care to look up whatever persona this guy thought was entertaining. Streamers are terrible.
This particular streamer is terrible. There are plenty of great ones; dont lump them all together.
I am waiting for his fans go “BUT ITS ONLY THE PERSONAAAAAAA”.
DrNotLikeUs gets his shit rocked, ya love to see it.
I cannot overstate how good it feels to have the person who I always thought was a major asshole turn out to be an even bigger asshole.
I’ve always been aware of this guy, but never watched him. He always seemed like an old guy acting like a young guy. Gave me bad vibes. I wouldn’t have guessed this at all. And im not just saying it becuase all this has come out. Ive voiced this opinion many times over the years. He gives of creepy vibes.
The latest bad news for the Doc comes a week after an allegation was first made by a former Twitch employee on X. “He got banned because got caught sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product,” the tweet said.
Yeah so I get banning him but did anyone over at twitch also think to… I don’t know… contact the FBI? Seems like that should have been the first thing to do, no?
I would imagine they were waiting to see if they could catch him. And then charge him. Possibly.
what does “existing twitch whispers product” mean?
From what I understand, “whispers” were what private messages were called on twitch. And it’s “then existing,” I don’t use twitch, but I guess it doesn’t exist anymore, that’s what they mean. Pretty poor wording though, don’t blame you for not knowing what the hell they mean.
Alana Pierce, a games journalist/streamer/writer/etc has a specific responses to this exact question, based on personal experience. Her video on the topic is worth watching.
What’s the TL:DW of that? I’m just reading for now lol
TL:DW? ACAB
Slightly longer : corpos make money, they dont give a fuck about laws. Cops dont give a fuck about anything.
Longer still : she was stalked/had her face photoshopped onto actual child porn. Gave detailed info about the child porn, including who did it/where they were/etc. Cops did literaly nothing.
basically no company wants the bad PR. If it had come out twitch would be known as the platform with pedos and parents wouldn’t let their kids use it resulting in the platform becoming obsolete.
And now parents can see that twitch is the platform with pedos that chooses to do nothing about it other than hide it from the public. Muuuuuch better look to go full Catholic church than just fess up and take care of the problem.
Haven’t these chucklefucks ever heard that the cover-up is worse than the crime?
it’s actually astonishing that it took THIS long for his career to implode
