You'd think that with how over-saturated the market is you'd be able to find enough streamers to enjoy that don't film people in bathrooms.

dr disrespect banned from Twitch (update: now back)

Yes, I believe in second chances. However, he has to at least put in an effort to improve himself, yet it seems like he hasn't learned anything from the situation.
Dr Disrespect is a fictional character that pushes the boundaries and is sometimes racist. If he goes too far or breaks any laws than he should be punished for it.
But don't judge the people who enjoy watching him as entertainment and nothing more than that. The same way people enjoy Family Guy or South Park or Borat.

I'm sure he has learned to never film in a public restroom again.
I quite literally don't follow this dude so I'm not sure why you have to tact on the snarky response at the end.
Lmao not the same but whatever makes you feel better about watching that pos Dr Disrespect.
'Sure, he is racist and broke the law while putting minors at risk, but on the other hand I do enjoy his content.'
This isn't very different from those defending TotalBiscuit on this forum. Be a hateful bigot all you want, so long as you produce content I like, I am a fan. Ya'll have no integrity and your priorities are whack.

He isn't the only Streamer I watch and I don't watch him a ton but I have enjoyed what I have watched of him. Like I said the bathroom thing was ignorant and he deserved to be banned for it. Perma banned I don't think so but everyone has there own opinion.
I don't even understand the snark. I assume most journalists don't watch him anyway since you know, they're busy writing about video games not necessarily watching this dude.
I actually don't watch him, he's too much for me.
But there is a market for that kind of crude humor, as evident by his popularity, and far worse things have been said for humor on television and movies and millions of people watch them.

Would Etika fall into this description?
If you watch Borat and think ```lol Kazachstan```, you didnt understand the movie.
South Park episodes have far more to say.
Family Guy episodes have more to say. Heck. McFarlane even apologized about the depiction of homosexual people in earlier FG seasons.
So. What's the humor of mocking a language you do not have any knowledge of?
I'm as anti-Dr D as the next person, but this comment combined with your HP Lovecraft avatar has me chuckling (don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of his work too but the dude was suuuuuper racist).
User warned: trolling
That's a blasphemous opinion!
Permaban and ex communication from society at a bare minimum.
They are not allowed at E3. It's 18+. Not that it makes this situation a no-punishment pass, but it is a piece of clarifying information.
Is there more to the Dr Disrespect is racist thing, than him doing a fake Chinese accent years(?) ago? I'm still kind of confused on that point.
Etika suffered from mental illness, meaning his case isn't so black and white.
So it's okay to make racist jokes as long as there's a message at the end or a big picture to the episode? That's not what people remember and the clips that hit the internet.
Has Seth apologized for the decades of racism and mysogyny?
Just admit that there is a market of people who enjoy crude humor.
I didn't know about the racist jokes; making fun of an accent like that is indeed offensive and racist. That being said, we have to keep in mind that even non-racist people can also make racist jokes or comments, sometimes without realizing it or understanding it, and that's precisely why it's important to call them out on this, before trashing them for being racist pieces of shit. Has he given an answer on this?
Regarding him cheating on his wife, it's literally nobodies business and it only concerns the people involved. It shouldn;t even be a matter of discussion on this forum.
I literally don't know anything about the guy except for what I read here sometimes, and that one PUBG video that I watched one day (he was quite funny if I recall), so sorry in advance if I'm missing some crucial information.

Dr Disrespect Calls Criticism Of His Mock Chinese Accent ‘Laughable'
Possibly the most popular streamer on Twitch, Dr Disrespect was called out yesterday by musician Jimmy Wong for acting racist based on a series of clips compiled by the latter in which Disrespect caricatures Chinese accents and language. During a recent stream, Disrespect fired back by saying...kotaku.com
Dr Disrespect Calls Criticism Of His Mock Chinese Accent 'Laughable'
"Got friends I can call right now that are multicultural, multiracial, I love it, I love it. Mrs. Assassin, my wife, multiracial, all the way from the small island of Molokai. Lots of Filipino blood. I love it. And you got this idiot on Twitter, this idiot searching for, desperate for attention wanna be idiot, right, trapped in a box, trapped in a gated community, a private school, if you will."
Its not even 1 year old...

What Dr. Disrespect did was foolish and deserves to be punished but if this is the 'what about the children!?' people here are being a bit disingenuous.
I always thought that part of the Dr. D shtick was making fun of the people who took his persona seriously? He goes so overboard that he's basically mocking the wannabees. And most of the audience is in on the joke. Or so I thought.
I'm not dismissing the racism and other behavior as ok. Just to be clear.
But you are kinda dismissing it. Racism and racists shouldnt have a platform, sorry.
No I'm not.
I didn't know he did the racist stuff until this thread. And it's very disappointing to see.
I'm speaking more to his general shtick rather than his shitty behavior. The debate about his persona v South Park is an interesting one. To me.
Ok wait I've missed something. Can someone fill me in on the racism bit? Havnt heard of this yet.
On the other topics while havnt watched doc much at all since his earliest days I am totally down with breaking the law for entertainment lmfao. Lota of ways to do that without endangering people tho so my issue is the specific law broke not just the fact in general.
Also is e3 open to persons under age 18 now? So I can take my daughter next year?

Ok then he's not ignorant, but either stupid or fundamentally racist; both of which in the end are roughly as detrimental to the society. At least, it's the same to me. Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks for the link. Though going by the date on the article, being February of '18, isn't that expressly more than a year old as opposed to "not even 1 year old..."?
It's weird that (to say at least) you split his character from his shitty behavior.
It's not weird at all. I can speak about the intent behind a persona without condoning his racist behavior. Because his racist behavior is wrong.
But unlike Eric Cartman, there ain't other characters dunking on DrDisrespect's bigotry so it's just going unchallenged. I don't think South Park with just one character would be as good. Do you even find his racism entertaining? To me it's just boring and so outdated, like back in the 50s or something.
Really? I have spoken lengths about the racism of HPL and why I still like his fictional work.
I am not in denial about it, unlike others in this thread.
Dude walked into a public bathroom with children taking a piss while a camera was rolling. He is lucky he didn't get the brakes beat off him
i kind of like Dr dis, but i never seen him be racist.. any links to this?
If committing obvious crimes involving minors isn't grounds for a permanent ban from an internet platform for streaming video games, what would be?
From what I'm reading from other posters there was no child in the bathroom because it is 18 and up at E3. If there was a child then yes I could see a perma ban. I have not seen the vid I'm just going from what I have read. So I could be wrong.
I'd enjoy twitch responding to that with "We've had a lot of questions today...clarifying, we apply our policies fairly and without political bias. All creators are held to the same standard."
Thinking that people under 18 don't get into E3 is pretty naive.
Here you go.

Let's see if racism affects your liking of him.
I have checked multiple articles about the incident now and none of them have mentioned filming a minor. If he did like I said then I can see a perma ban happening. Really nothing else to say about the subject for me.
