dr disrespect banned from Twitch (update: now back)

Watch as Guy reflect all of this stating that he's just talking as his character. What a way for a grown ass man to use his immense popularity to put hundred of children against the media because they didn't like your apology (with reason).
If he were a young up and coming streamer, I'd get the fuck ups, but we are talking about a dude entering his 40's.
I hate cancel and rage culture as much as everyone else, I get it, but I understand people not flying around this apology, which to be fair it screams levels of Hulk Hogan's "I'm sorry I got caught" and using the brand/character as an excuse for his actions. There was nothing wrong on just admitting you fucked up (once again, mind you) and aim to be better as a person. His apology comes out as if he did nothing wrong, he wants to be a "better brand", his punishment was a slap on the wrist by Twitch, and then he puts the blames on the character, and also starts using said character to go after the media.
If he were a young up and coming streamer, I'd get the fuck ups, but we are talking about a dude entering his 40's.
Is he like the fucking Hulk or something? Or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Where he can't control his other self? That's what it seems like he's trying to imply.
Remember, there's nothing wrong with Dr. Disrespect, it's "a character" after all, and as Twitter has taught me when you are in character you have free will and zero repercussions because it is not yourself out there, is just "an artistic representation/performance" ^^
Imagine making fun of the work that Kotaku writers do when you're nearly 40 and your full time job is to binge video games for 12 hours a day while role playing as Ben Stiller's character from Dodgeball. Don't care how many thousands he makes every second, you can't convince me that performing for teenage boys all day every day is a fulfilling or enviable life.
Just trying to imagine a 40 year old man explaining that he broke the law because he was just too invested in his Twitch persona and trying to create content for his army of teenagers he streams his life for. But he thinks Jason Schreier is a loser lmao. This dude needs to get off the internet for real

Would you still have said the same when he was still a developer for activision / community rep for Call of Duty?
Let's just call entertainers or artists having a not fulfilling and not enviable life. Some opinions in this thread are ... very special.
I think the overall point, 40 year old man attempts to weaponize his rabid fanbase against news organisations reporting on his misdemeanors, stands up.
That's not at all what that poster said. But I would agree to such a statement, even tho Jason doesn't come off much better with his reply in this case.
I mean it looks Dr Disrespect started it with this shitty comment:
Imagine resorting to insults about appearance because a news outlet covered your bullshit apology. It's like Trump standards.
Doc isn't helping this story go away with his replies. He should have left it at the apology and moved on. If nobody knows about Kotaku like Doc claims, nobody would have seen the article... Dude needs some PR help
My god do not go into any of the comments on those tweets. Just a bunch of sad sacks of shit saying Kotaku is full of "soi bois" and other useless trash.
I would not want to be DrDisrespect for many reasons, one of which is I'd be an unrepentant asshole. This has nothing to do with his work at all, but the values he projects.
He is essentially being Trump with any news he doesn't like.
Hey man, I'm not the one laughing at Jason Schreier's forehead. I like watching Twitch and wouldn't say streaming, or any kind of entertaining like that, is not a legitimate career. But if at 40 your excuse for filming minors in a bathroom is "I was just too invested in my twitch persona, too dedicated to producing funny clips for my fans" then yeah, its time to get off the internet.
This is a grown ass man saying that he had to film minors in a bathroom because his twitch persona made him do it. It's honestly pathetic. He's not a loser because he's a twitch streamer, he's a loser because he thinks it's cool to make fun of people's appearances and ~amount of twitter likes~ while his whole shtick involves being a dancing monkey for teenage boys. No one is jealous of your life bro, it's not cool or enviable to make a living off the backs of children. Imagine knowing a 40 year old man and finding out that this is the life he leads online. It's not streamer shaming, he is a broken individual and unrepentant asshole

Lemme guess, riling up his fanbase to harass game journalists, (aka, someone who's not a character and someone who ALREADY gets harassed frequently), is just "part of the character" because he's doing it from a different twitter account right? Right? Hello?
🤔 🤔 🤔
I can't tell if this is sarcasm. You can't seriously believe that right?
Adults know it's an act. Unfortunately, kids will think it's cool.
This is what you're saying and all I can ask is why are you like this?
Ah so he has dissociative identity disorder, that explains a lot!
AAAAAAAAAHAHAHA that Schreier retort. I thought DrDisrespect was meant to be a funny sort of guy. What a complete boring moron lmfao.
It's a shit fucking act, mate.
It's a shit fucking act, mate.
I just saw the reply on Twitter. Savage. Those physical appearance attacks by Dr. Disrespect are uncalled for and really show his character.
edit: The great part is that he insulted him over how many likes he gets, yet the reply by Schrierer has more likes than the insult post.

Oh my goodness.
Because pretending to be Dr. Disrespect doesn't absolve him from anything he says or does. You can't go do or say whatever you want in life and get away with it by claiming it's an act.
I'm p
Inciting harassment lol
No I'm not, but you obviously are having to resort to silly childish comments like that.
What if the person who called you 5 is just an act and their Era persona is all about belittling people? Is that ok?
Regardless of whether it's a joke or not: it's harassment, and further condones and enables harassment by those who follow him.
Not referring to just the tweet. I'm referring to him thinking it's ok to do a live stream in a restroom with other people in it.
