Eh, there are big twitch steamers that foster good communities and are normal people. The OfflineTV group is pretty wholesome.

I look fwd to Guy Beahm's apology about this.
He also took a Twitter dump on Kotaku reporter Nathan Grayson, which means he has now done the exact same thing as First Wave 'gators. Cool club to join, bro.

It is both the boon and the bane of the situation where we are in that there isn't a gatekeeper in the way of success. In the old days the shitheels who become popular via streaming nowadays probably would have been weeded out by someone whose job it was to make sure a star wasn't obviously a shitheel. There's no one in the way now though. If you can get an audience, then you're a star. This has opened up stardom to a lot of people who wouldn't have had the opportunity before but it's also let a lot of trashbags like this guy slip through.
I love Jason but that joke was overplayed a month ago. Also, skype is great.
Honestly despite watchin a good deal of twitch you cant really deny the most popular single people on the platform are loud assholes who are good at the game. People like XQC/Tyler1/DrDisrespect are sort of the face for this and they represent what most people see from twitch streamers. Less popular streams like TrumpSC or northernlion and may be high quality but thats not what represents what most people watch on the platforms.
Even professional streams like the overwatch league still have to deal with a cesspool kf twitch chat.
Jason gonna get on the call with this idiot and give him the Liam Neeson speech from Taken except with Journalism instead of murder.
Wild idea: can we stop with threads giving no context?
edit: re-read the sentence in the OP and I still don't get it. The context seems to be that there is no context.
All I know is that I've only heard that Dr. Disrespect was a piece of shit, and I like Schrieier.

Here's the thread I made yesterday about Kotaku's story about his apology.
[Kotaku] Dr Disrespect Apologizes For E3 Bathroom Stream 'On Behalf Of The Dr Disrespect Brand'

Yeah like of course there are good streamers but man I can name way more big streamers that are absolutely trash and those guys represent the platform. Like heck go look at every big streamer that hand wave pewdiepie saying the N word and Ninja doing the female streamer ban etc
why is there always this one guy that questions the most irrelevant and uninteresting thing
I can guarantee you that 9 out of every 10 Twitch 'celebrities' would come to his aid if put to task. Anything to prevent any potential loss of their fan base (with the added bonus of potentially widening their fan base). These people stick together just like the Youtubers.
Plenty of good folk on Twitch, but there are some that think a large following gives them carte blanche to act the twat.
I take it you don't get a lot of interviews or don't work in an office?
I mean it's not like the traditional celebrities are much better tbh. Perhaps we should just reflect on the idea that we shouldn't look to entertainers to be beacons of moral values
LMAO, I initially thought this thread was shit(sic) but this delivered.
100% false. Doc has 10x the Twitter followers and a huge Twitch following. Kotaku isn't exactly killing it on clicks these days...
This is already being discussed in this thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/dr-disrespect-banned-from-twitch-update-now-back.122641/
