If im being honest the only thing that feels off is that I would imagine Doc would go nuts on twitter if he were to be banned let alone perma so something must be up but for now....

Dr.Disrespect claims Twitch has not notified him about the reason for his permanent ban

oh yeah i know, but cant say i have expectations for Twitch to even treat that properly lol but like i said in my other comment this just feels off
His statement strains all credibility.
Dr Disrespect, are you saying that you signed an exclusivity contract with Twitch that they can exit without giving a reason?
Just ridiculous. Anyone even remotely familiar with contract law or negotiations knows that this can't possibly be accurate.
I think he's trying to force Twitch to make a substantive statement first.

I feel like people are reading way too much into his final moments on stream. He was clearly shocked about something, but if you were in his shoes, wouldn't you be shocked if you got a text from your management saying "hey Twitch is shutting you down FYI we're looking into it"? I really don't think it'd be that far fetched.
I get people don't like the guy but can we just let the situation unfold and calm down with the speculation?

the only thing this mobilizes fans to harass is their F5 keys
and if they can't legally say why at least say that. the silence and all of the clout chasing around this has been bad
He's only a Cash Cow so long as big-ticket Advertisers are willing to let their brand be visible on the same site as him.
It only takes one large-scale ad-buyer to say "[these guys] go or we go." His viewcounts don't mean shit anymore if they're not putting eyes on ads.
My chips remain down on Twitch AdPocalypse, either speculated by Twitch or directly threatened.
That's... Kind of a stretch. It mostly puts pressure on twitch to make a statement
Or it's a power move to publicly force Twitch to state their exact reason for banning him under the scrutiny of his thousands of followers, while Twitch may or may not want to make it known for now, for different reasons including legal ones.
Just speculating here but the way this tweet is worded feels very "legalese" to me.
Yeah. This is him and his lawyers trying to get an accuser's identity, or some details on exactly what law enforcement is investing him for.
As discussed in the AngryJoe thread, there's nothing wrong/implicatory with a statement drafted by lawyers.
Given the consequences, this tweet is definitely drafted by lawyers.

Have you been under a rock for the past week? Those are a few of the streamers accused of sexual harassment in the past week; the streamers listed in the tweet are streamers who admitted to what they did. That's why they were permanently banned.
PR stunt doesn't make sense. No way he would burn those bridges when switching platforms. You don't let yourself get permabanned from the biggest streaming platform there is. Who knows if you need to come back at some point.
On the other hand you can definitely hear a "hands up lets go" at the end of his stream but there are no arrest records. I don't know, shit just doesn't make sense

Interesting. If that was the move, would the reason be something that doesn't make him seem that terrible then? Something more mundane like a contract issue? Assuming he knows the reason anyway.
Yep, of course he does know the reason. He wouldn't act as restrained as he is right now if he didn't.

Not really, no. You're inferring things that aren't necessarily there.
He could have been simply told he's being perma'd. That would explain his emotional change. The reason isn't necessary to you being upset. Example, if you were told a family member died, you'd be upset, right? You'd want to know why, but you'd be upset before you knew what happened.
The same is true for all the people saying he's trying to be clever with wording saying "they haven't told me yet," versus "I don't know." They're the same thing--not having been told is the same is not knowing. "Violating the Tos," for example, is not a clear reason that actually tells you anything of value. Twitch is known for that.
My mother is a lawyer, my uncle is a lawyer, my aunt is a lawyer, my other aunt is a lawyer, my grandmother was a clerk, I studied law before the military. This is bullshit and is probably what his lawyer instructed him to say.
No, you could say I've been doing the exact opposite of living under a rock - You'd have to be living under a rock to even hear about these names in the first place. That tweet I found in Knockout threads about this are literally the first time I've ever encountered those names.
The only time I've watched anything on Twitch in recent history was for a Valorant Closed-Beta key, otherwise Streamers in general are far outside my range of things I care about in my life.
He's Dr.Disrespect. He must have at least 12 Twitch contacts on his phone alone, how could he not know what's going on?
Those sponsors probably knee-jerked reacted and then had their own lawyers scream at them that they had just violated their own contracts with WhatsHisName and to not do anything until more information became available.
IIRC he started dating his ex gf Candace when she was 16, he being 24 and he would basically pimp her out to his friends. Also tried to hook up with a lot of said friends gf's behind their backs, including Oroboro.
Dreadedcone used to be one of my favorite streamers and it was genuinely shocking when that shit came out. He seemed like a good dude.
i don't have any dog in this fight but i thought this reply was pretty funny, both from the perspective of someone who can't imagine caring enough about a streamer to think this way as well as this not credible contention that drdisrepsect doesn't know why he's banned

Worth noting that Razer restored the original link to his sponsorship page but the product itself 404s.
