Wait, does Musk also believe in the 5G conspiracy? Or is Musk only tangentially related here? I can't imagine he's that stupid.

Does anyone ever feel overwhelmed by the prevelance of idiocy? It feels like in 5 to 10 years the majority of Americans will believe in conspiracy and pseudoscience.
Even joking and if he doesn't believe it, that is spreading false info to a very big audience. Especially if he has a big population of fans who are children.
IMO he should be penalized significantly by Twitch for stating such false info without the proper context of a joke. Of course nothing will happen to him tho.

This. Not defending him, but DrDisrespect is a character that he plays.
I thought maybe this would be that, but he's being pretty serious about this...
God we are so fucked in America arent we.
Says the man who doesn't have to leave his house. Easy to peddle this kind of nonsense when you don't really have skin in the game.
Probably not the 5G conspiracy, but he does think stay at home orders are "fascist" and the US should be "freed".
What an asshole. I can't believe I forgot about the pedophile accusation. Shame, I like some of the stuff he's done but man he can get tae fuck.
Yes, I'm aware of those headlines. So he's probably lacking common sense at the very least.
Dude its so tiring. Like I never really gave a shit when my teachers stressed Critical Thinking Skills....but my god man some people must have been asleep through school...through life?!
All those crazy fools will be dead from injecting disinfectant in to their body before it gets to that stage. Trump literally blows my mind on a daily basis.
It's always a character until it affects their personal life, which has happened many times to this person.
I mean, look at his occupation.... He's a clown that plays video games for a living.
Who's taking their informed opinions from him?

Definitely. It's been an exponential problem with the advent of social media where everyone gets a soapbox.
I don't think someone who has said countless racist things and filmed in a bathroom at a live event is a "character" anymore. I think its just an underlying part of who they are.
You know it's odd how whenever people in the gaming community don't like something the first argument goes to "It must be consumed mostly by children. I doubt only children got Dr. Disrespect to this point. Same as with lootboxes, adults consume this stuff as well. I guess people want to trivialize it or feel intellectually above what they are criticizing, but it just comes off ass arrogance or condescending. People act like children can turn on the news and be uniformed by the president of the united states. Yeah this is dumb, but i'm willing to bet Dr. Disrespect isn't the most dangerous person putting out this kind of information.
Not defending Doc but he's a character all the time, that's the point. We shouldn't be arguing is this the character or not as that's irrelevant. The character didn't have to do this, it's irresponsible.
Paving the way for all of Alex Jones' weird snakeskin bullshit.
God bless those men.
This statement is accurate.
I love how people were like; "Internet will be the best thing ever," it was for a while to until people realized how much you can capitalize on it, and of course the deathblow - social media.
afternoon delight Hey, you never know, those ambition pills might have worked if they had cocaine in em.
Youre probably right. And?
This is the gaming forum and people will talk about things related to gaming. ETC has the rest what youre talking about. No need to rank which is potentially more dangerous.
Oh America
Not "America", but American Conservatives.
And don't think the far right wackjobs only reside in America.
Does Twitch have a policy against spreading misinformation about COVID-19? If not they fucking should!
It's because of 5G's link to China. Huawei are a Chinese phone company and are a major proponent of supporting 5G, the coronavirus originated in China so 5G = coronavirus.
This is the guy who thought it was cool to livestream other people in a public bathroom.
I don't think you should be looking to him for intelligent takes on anything.
What's more impressive is that brands like Turtle Beach still want to be associated with him.
Man who spends his life inside his own house tells others to get back to work.
Meltdown May off to a promising start.

True, but there is hard on for bringing down to size streamers Era doesn't like Ninja, and this guy. They do anything negative and it's a huge deal as if this is the time we'll get him. I'm not defending either streamer but this gets to be ridiculous sometimes. This is dumb but ok? The argument is presented like he's teaching children that 5g causes Covid. I guess people have fun typing "This guy is a shithead" on forums.
