dr disrespect banned from Twitch (update: now back)

Ozymandias · Jun 13, 2019

Couple of things. DrDisrespect is a character. That whole personality is not the guy himself.

The chinese accent is not ok and he hasn't done it at least for a couple of years. I would say if he kept doing it he would have been banned long ago.

I did not watch the stream but it seems he told the camera man several times to not follow him and to go film the convention outside. I would say it was hard for him to detach from the character while doing this and was not assertive has he should have been. Still its illegal and his responsability, but it is far from "he went to the bathroom to film a child peeing like a fucking pervert".

I agree it should be a perma-ban from Twitch. But for him to be jailed or suffer enormous damages for this I can't agree. He is a father of a little girl, I don't see how that would be good for anyone.

Finally, bringing up that he cheated on his wife really shows how petty and holier than thou some people can be. The fucking guy came to a stream crying and saying he was going to work on his family life, which he did. His wife is still with him and they seem happy and she actively works on stream related stuff as well. Seems more pilling on than anything else.

Nope, seen it myself on clips of his streams. Another poster on here mentioned it too.

It's quite a leap from "person complains because they're bored of their job" to "person is an imminent suicide risk who knowingly commits a crime to have an excuse to stop doing it."

Especially because absolutely none of that comes across in the bathroom footage in question.

And chinese isnt really a language, theres mandarin cantonese, hakka etc.. Language isnt race. Theres plenty of white people born in china who speak mandarin etc. Is it racist to mock the way they speak?

I'm sure Dr. Disrespect was always very clear to establish that "actually, anyone can speak Mandarin" before making a bunch of ching chong noises.

So if me, out of malicous intent, mock how I perceive black people talk or how I perceive Aborigines talk, its not racist, because "language isnt a race"?

It's the same "Islam isn't a race" claim that some make. Like, it's technically true but ignores the nuance of the situation.

You are literally saying over 3 million people know he made those videos making fun of asians. You really dont think most of these people are casual viewers or people that subscribe and barely watch him?
Any controversy like that when it happens either on twitch or youtube usually follows with thousands or miliions or people unsibscribing. These are people who had no idea that person was racist or homophobic or a general POS and after learning it, they dont follow them anymore. I judge the people who know and defend these terrible actions, but I am unwilling to group 3 million people together in one box without context.

I am glad he is out of twitch. I hope its permanent. But I agree with the sentiment that it will be temporary, unfortunatey he will be back in some form or another.

I don't see ignorance as an excuse no. If I'm a big fan of someone I generally learn more about them. A quick internet search would do the trick.

Uh I mean theres a lot of black people in the world, and they don't all have the same accents, or speak the same language. Not saying it cant have racist intents behind it. Just that its not inherently linked to race all the time.

You think mocking how a language is spoken isn't going to be perceived as racist? And i am sure when someone makes sounds immitating chinese or another similar asian laguage they are thinking of white people speaking it.

How are we banning people in this thread who rationalize racial stereotypes and NOT banning people who are stereotyping viewers of any particular streamer?

I'm just going to let this ridiculous sentence speak for itself.

Yeah. Drink THAT nonsense in. Let it marinate in your head for a second.

The utter lack of any sense of perspective is almost breathtaking.

Moderation seems to be totally fine with that toxic behavior. I don't know why.

Calling pieces of shit like DrDisrespect a piece of shit is fine. He is one. He creates toxicity with his attitude. Why aren't you calling him out?

It definitely could be perceived that way. Thats why I said someone doing it around people they dont know makes them an asshole. If they are joking around with friends it may be perceived a different way.

Are the people who watch and interact with his stream also "just playing characters"?

Are the people he filmed in the bathroom playing characters?

This is an absurd defense that hand-waives how he's actually impacted other people.

Im pretty sure if I mock how I perceive how African Americans speak, it would be seen as racist by most of them.

Its not just an accent. He mocked the whole language in a "ching chang chong" fashion...

Besides that whole debate: I wonder if the people defending him and his cameraman going into a public restroom to be filmed would be okay if he would just go into their house when they take a shit or pee as a "fun prank" for thousands and ten thousands of viewers to see.

I wasnt implying he was at risk. I was saying that no one here will consider the possibilities of mental health issues until something more serious and stereotypical behaviour of suffers is reported.

I'm not defending him, I'm not telling anyone what happened, I simply wanted to bring another perspective to a discussion with everyone stuck on repeat. I've seen the man discuss burnout on his channel, feeling tired of it, and needing time away from it. Maybe its nothing, or maybe it's something. These same types of comments from people in every day life have lead to problematic events. Sometimes it's nothing, but sometimes it's something...

I've witnessed multiple behaviors from a streamer that made me question his mental health. I brought it up to share, and people decided what they wanted to take from it. Majority took it as just excusing his actions. But it was never my intent.

I've seen a lot of people in my life with mental health issues. Self destructive behavior is pretty common. Considering his life as a streamer, the stress of protecting his family (house being shot up) and the repetition and boredom of such a job isn't hard to think maybe he finally just had enough and made bad choices in an attempt to get out. Again, to be clear, I'm not saying this is fact. I'm just sharing a perspective to think about.

Don't fucking diagnose strangers over the internet. "Maybe he has mental health issues?" is really fucking insulting to those of us with actual mental health issues.

So you posted in a 22 page, thread about DrDisrespect getting banned from invading the privacy of people at the restrooms of e3, without reading or knowing anything about what happened.

Just to defend his honor at not being called a POS?

I heard about the situation, but I thought that was by accident because his camera man came in. If he intended on doing that, then yea i can see why someone would call him a POS. If he purposely went in there doing that to have people on camera then yes thats a POS

Twitch won't perma one of their biggest celebrities.

I have nothing to say about DrDisRespect since I'm not a regular viewer, but what kind of lapse in common sense allows you to think that filming in a public restroom is a good idea? Is he insane?

I suspect he wanted to be banned and is possibly losing his mind or something

He's older than most of the streamers on the platform. Even if he wasn't aware enough to realize filming a bathroom is illegal, he's probably aware enough to lawyer up when his career is at stake.

while you might be right, the illegal activity that was filmed is certainly no laughing matter. I don't expect a slap on the wrist here. And that downtime will be someone else's gain. It's not like people won't tune into Twitch; they'll go to someone else's channel.
