Comment on Deadrop developer Midnight Society cuts ties with Dr Disrespect following new Twitch ban allegations
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 1 week agoPart of me wants to give some benefit of the doubt but it’s really difficult. Maybe he was trying to meet up at the nintendo panel for upcoming Super Smash Bros Ultimate and the Twitch admins read “I can’t wait to smash with you.”

Why? Hasn’t his official statement said enough? I have no idea who this guy is. Is he that big?

Used to be the biggest streamer on twitch before he got banned

Welp, I’m not on twitch but if I ever heard his name before it never registered. Who’s the biggest now? Or just make someone up I’ll never know.

Probably the biggest streamer right now is a rainbow six siege streamer named jynxi who averages near 100k viewers

Because I think mob justice is criminal. If Dr Disrespect did wrong then he did wrong, but we don’t know anything other than the fact that he has in fact spoken to a person who was under 18, which in itself is not a crime.

This is what he’s willing to admit. I wonder what constitués “inappropriate”.

Twitch turbo ejected the largest streamer on its platform days after the messages were sent, so… likely pretty fucking inappropriate.
These were DMs, so never public, but the “tried to meetup at twitchcon” makes it seem like he was explicitly trying to fuck a kid and thats where twitch, who could have just said nothing, hit the “fuck no” button.

Defending a pedophile isn’t a good look, Guy.

I haven’t defended him, I’ve consistently said he might have committed a crime.
Labeling everyone you don’t like as a pedophile isn’t a good look.
