dr disrespect banned from Twitch (update: now back)

I'm referring 100% to that tweet, not his bathroom incident which was very stupid.
So you don't think literally making fun of the appearance of someone on twitter while you have an audience of incredibly impressionable children, teenagers, and adults is inciting harassment? Especially in the context of the gaming audience which repeatedly goes after games journalists for the egregious crime of using critical skills and acknowledging that video games and the target audience of video games aren't perfect.
Honesty is good, be more honest.
It's a serious question. You're taking offense to people calling somebody out, who I assuming is a streamer you watch. What's the difference between what Dr . Disrespect is allowed to say when he harasses somebody and what people on this forum are allowed to say when you feel harassed by them?
User Banned (5 days): Trolling over a series of posts, antagonizing members. History of similar infractions.
Oh wow, we've gone down to editing peoples posts, this is quality entertainment, haven't you got a Ubisoft thread to shill in?
Was watching another streamer who had mediashare on last night and someone donated and requested the youtube video of him doing the fake Chinese and it went on and on and on and it was like holy shit at what point in your head do you not realize that this isn't okay and just keep going on with it. I had never seen it before and it was pretty disgusting.
Mate, we know is an act, we are not stupid. Point is, the "Doc" is coming like an asshole using his "act" to act like a manchild and shield behind it, using the Kotaku situation to make it all worse instead of moving forward with his "brand".
We are adults, we know is a character, sadly, young impressionable kids don't. He's a role model for the thousands of young people who follow and idolizes him, and he's a step away from going full gamergater, and with his immense pull, that could bring another shitstorm just because the media believes your act is (rightfully so) shit.
Please, let's stop this whole "it's a character" to defend incredible stupid bullshit.
I'm literally just a character, especially the Ubisoft astroturfing part, so it's ok to bully and belittle people. 😃 👍
He's obviously in character as he's using the exact amount of critical thinking skills that Daffy Duck would.
I watch him occasionally. I don't feel harassed by what people are saying to me...
The difference is that we don't have tons of followers who are impressionable children, teenagers, and manchildren. Who will see those tweets, and think "LOL GAMES JOURNALISM IS BAD"
The point being that someone "in character" does not absolve someone of all responsibilities.
If the dude were to film himself spitting on a random stranger in public during a stream, "for the brand," he would still be responsible. Dr. Disrespect is not real, he does not agency, the person behind him decides EVERYTHING he does.
Y'all be acting like he's the green goblin and the dude's sitting at home with multiple personalities talking to each other.

As I've said before (in the context of Hogan no less), you either live the gimmick or the gimmick lives you, and it's clear from this thread the gimmick's been living this guy for quite some time, if he's reduced himself to a fucking brand now
and FWIW I think it's funny that the sort of people who'd defend this guy can only speak in ancient memes
He didn't even say anything mean to Kotaku. "I wrote a book. I hate myself" wtf that's such a light jab for the internet it barely even registers.
His audience is much more mature than Ninja's or Forsen's. Look at his chat, look who's taking pictures with him at EA Play or other events. Lots of 25+ people. You think kids are interested in someone who acts like he's from 80s?
Of course this is childish and of course some kids watch/read him but thinking that he's a role model for kids, I dunno.
Anyone that controls a digital army has a responsibility to use it judiciously and with forethought. You don't get to sick the dogs on people. I get that he feels like Kotaku did just that to him and he feels hurt about it but he needs to exercise more restraint.
Internet drama is the fucking worse. I can understand not liking the guy because of his type of humor, but pissing in the bathroom? How does that offend you at all? It was dumb, he deserved the ban (a longer one to be be honest) but this whole story is turning ugly for no reason.
Ok well I thought you took offense by some of the posts here like the one questioning your age. Regardless of that, I just hope when you do watch this guys Twitch channel you aren't mimicking his behaviour on display. It's my opinion that online personalities should set better examples for the young impressionable minds who tune into their antics.
Again, stop trying to absolve him of responsibility. Just because his insult was incredibly weak and easily refutable, (that tends to happen when a manchild tries to insult well adjusted adults), does not mean that he wasn't inciting harassment against game journalists.
Answer your own question. 🤔
Dunno if DrDisrespect started that whole scene.
The timeline says that Jason started for no reason with his "the toilet streamer" comment and dragged DrDisrespect into that discussion who only replied to that callout stuff from Jason. That given reply was bad, but the bait from Jason wasn't much better. Jason should remain more professional with higher standards imho while DrDisrespect never really had those high standards. That bait was a dumb but successful move.
HA!
Twitter, banning him?
Good one.
Even if it did happen, and that's the biggest IF in the world, he'd be unbanned faster than when he gets banned on Twitch.
Oh shit, so I can just insult whomever and call them whatever so long as I say "lol, jk" afterwards?
That's not how the real world works.
I'd argue that maturity doesn't come with age. But hey, you do you.
The one questioning my age is just such a low effort comment, like seriously that's the best they've got? May as well go a step up with a your mum joke
Dude I'm 37, I'm not mimicking anyone's behaviour.
You make mistakes you better own them. If you can't handle someone referring to you as the "toilet streamer" three weeks after the fact, you need to grow some thicker fucking skin. If you have to resort to inciting harassment against people because they call you out on your bullshit, you need to be deplatformed immediately.
lol he fuckin called it
Those tweets are honestly really funny and classic Doc insults, lmao. He's being petty and using childish insults, which in the context of the Doc, will always make me laugh. Schreier dealt with the Doc in the best way possible by giving it right back to him, which is also hilarious. Not that hard to comprehend breh, get a sense of humor
Boy, if those are classic Doc insults, I'd hate to see him on an off day.
This is what I meant by impressionable adults btw. ☝
👏
Those jokes got tired when I was still in elementary school.
Ill-Intentioned or not, filming in a public bathroom with other people there always requires an apology. It'd be really stupid not to.
Guys, don't mind me if I harass you, when I do that I'm just playing a character called "Oheao". When am I playing a character and when am I not? Well, I decide that myself when I see fit, based on whether or not it benefits me.
I don't think I will ever understand the type of person that looks at Dr Disrespect and says "yes, this is someone I can get behind"
Maybe if you're a kid (which is a whole problem in and of itself), but an adult watching this racist, cheating, bullying asshole of their own free will?

He's been described as the WWE of the gaming community. Not to say he doesn't make mistakes and take things entirely too far at times, but he's literally there to piss you off and so many of you are falling for it hook, line and sinker 😂
Sone of these posts are quality content, man.
That's actually incredibly accurate, given how tired, out of touch, and formulaic the current WWE product is.
This isn't good heat, though. This is X-Pac heat.
He streamed from the toilet, it's an accurate description. If you don't want to be referred to as "the toilet streamer", don't livestream in the restroom.
You realize they're all actors playing characters, right?

What does it make you if you spend your valuable time hating on him? Instead of just moving on with your life.
You sure don't act like you're 37, you dumbass!!

Seems like it should be a pretty easy line of thought to follow, too:
Especially since it's actually the specific thing he did that is of relevance. It's barely an insult because it's a reference to his actual bad behavior and is 100% true.
lol i dont know if my anxiety is playing up or what but I literally have no idea how to respond to this. I keep getting banned with no warning or explanation for disagreeing with the most random things so I'll just back out with 'I disagree' and the shit that people are saying about DrDisrespect is FAR more brutal than anything he said about Kotaku.
Time spent on making a comment is equal to watching (presumably) hours of this guy's content and coming to his defense over reprehensible behavior?
