    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

        Is this real? Or are you just tricking me by using an older game I’d know?

        Who can tell

  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.

    casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate,

    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.

        The messages were sent in 2017. They weren’t reported to Twitch until 2020, at which point they reviewed and took action - that was the whole “Doc got banned and we don’t know why” saga.

        Now we know.

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

      1. I haven’t defended him, I’ve consistently said he might have committed a crime.

      2. Labeling everyone you don’t like as a pedophile isn’t a good look.

        Nah, sexually texting a minor isn’t a two sided thing. There is no justification for it. There is no ‘I’m not a pedophile’ about sexually texting a minor. The sexual texting a minor is the intent to do more. You don’t simply ‘play around’ sexually texting a minor.
