did you hear that Dr Disrespect tried to make a comeback the other day with a Deadlock stream?

[alt text: several screenshots of posts on twitter. The bottom post is a tweet from @DrDisrespect on twitter, which says, “LIVE in 30 minutes. I just installed Deadlock… what the hell is this game? If it’s from Valve, I must know. I must… understand the future of multiplayer gaming.” This Dr Disrespect tweet is a screenshot being shared by @IntelDeadlock on twitter. Their post includes text that says, “Dr Disrespect is playing Deadlock today! Please avoid queue if you are a minor”. The top post is another, later tweet from @IntelDeadlock on twitter, which says, “His entire team left his very first game”. The post includes a screenshot of Dr Disrespect’s livestream.]

Who?

alcoholicorn ,

DocToPdf Disrespect was quietly banned from twitch, and then responded to allegations that he was sexting minors with “age of consent varies between states, what I did wasn’t even illegal and what even is sexting? This is just haters trying to ruin my day”

Where was he even streaming from? I thought he was banned from Twitch...

Vodulas , (edited )

He went to either Rumble or Kick. Not sure which, but both are pretty heavy into low moderation.

Edit: Never mind, he is on YouTube but without monetization

Nah, that was worth watching.

GammaGames ,

Crazy behavior, the guy could play anonymously but he’s clearly not in it for the fun of the game.

theangriestbird OP ,

course not. he’s an idiot that stumbled into a profitable gig, and then he let it slip through his kiddie-diddlin’ little fingers.

sunzu2 ,

Is that is true how is he not charged?

What's the story?

2017 twitch had a “whispers” product. Sounds like direct messages twitch.

He was sexting a minor. A twitch employee confirmed he was sexting her even after he learned her age. He tried to setup a meetup at twitchcon.

He might be legally pseudo protected by twitch having minimum age requirements. I’m not a lawyer so I don’t know why the company just banned him instead of referring it to the cops. This all could have been secret if he had just kept his mouth shut and not bad mouthed the company with all the deets.

sunzu2 ,

I see... Why do these YouTube celeb types always seem to be involved with some sus DMs with minors and how they all never get in trouble.

Seems odd.

theangriestbird OP ,

it’s rockstar syndrome, same as always. People who become famous for being good at something start to think of themselves as invincible. Combine that with minors specifically treating the rockstar like they are a god that could do no wrong, and any pedophilic tendencies are gonna worm their way out.

With online celebrities specifically, I think the unique circumstance is that people can go from unknown to world-famous in a relatively short span of time, and they haven’t learned how to conduct themselves in that context in a way that they might if they achieved that fame more slowly. For a recently famous person like that, direct DM access to fans is a dangerous thing.

sunzu2 ,

Sounds like winning a lottery... Suffering from success.

InquisitiveApathy ,

He might be legally pseudo protected by twitch having minimum age requirements.

Unless it was a few very specific US states, this isn’t really relevant. The minimum age to sign up for an account on Twitch is 13.

Vodulas ,

He was DMing a minor on twitch and there were sexual messages involved. From what I understand Twitch’s law enforcement consultant did not refer it to law enforcement for unknown reasons and they just banned him instead. Probably just creep behavior and nothing technically illegal. Still fucked up, but nothing that would get him arrested. He did not end up meeting with the victim AFAIK.
