Dr. Disrespect permanently banned from Twitch - Turns out he was a groomer

Its most likely some breach of contract that either Doc or Twitch made, that's been brewing for a while now and Twitch just decided to act upon it now(almost 2 month ago) since Mixer is out of the picture and they can't lose another popular streamer to them.

If it were something metoo worthy Twitch would have released at least 1 statement reminds us how they're a woke company with progressive ideas and are against sexual abuse or something like that because it's an easy PR move and would get a ton of positive mainstream media attention.(which they desperately need considering their own reputation is awful at this point) and also because it would seal Doc's career and prevent him from going to another streaming services along with his viewers, pretty much killing 2 birds with one stone.

Doc 100% knows why he got let go and maybe he's responsible for it but his lawyers are more than likely advising him to just act dumb, which is a great idea.
 
Doc is doing well on YT. Everyone expected a Ninja/Shroud situation where a move to a new platform would end up with diminished numbers, but it didn't happen - Doc maintains a 60k average with slightly higher numbers on tournament days. Twitch streamers have been informed that playing with him is fine as long as his voice isn't heard on stream, but this was broken a week or so ago when a Twitch streamer chose to exchange a few words with Doc during a tournament (Twitch did nothing.)

Since Doc's move, Twitch bought back Shroud and Ninja to initially high view counts that have now fallen to sub-30k. Ninja is playing fucking Fortnite right now to only 23k people, for example. Shroud sees some higher numbers on occasion when he duos with other Twitch staples like Summit1g.

Doc was known to play with a lot of smaller streamers on Twitch. These were sub-1k viewer channels that he'd play with regularly for whatever reason. He's now doing the same, but is pulling from Facebook Gaming in addition to others on YouTube.

After Mixer failed to launch I think it dawned on Twitch that they could do whatever they wanted and not face any backlash because people didn't have options outside of their ecosystem. However, Doc is currently proving there's legitimate alternatives and his audience is along for the ride, hopefully paving the way for people to follow. Good for him.
 
Funny to think Doc's last bit of legacy on Twitch is gifting Timthetatman a controller. Which he would then throw multiple times ragging at Fall Guys. Even while banned and not being able to talk with his friends, his name was mentioned countless times as tens of thousands poured in to watch this guy fail at the game.
 
A few clarifications before I start this off. I am apolitical, so politics will be mentioned, but I will not be taking a side. I do not watch streamers, nor do I watch Twitch. So my perspective is literally an outsiders perspective looking in, and will be as unbiased as humanly possible. When seeking the truth, it needs to be unbiased. In order for the truth to reveal itself. While I will be speaking as if everything is definitive. I haven't forgot, this is all speculation and I could very wrong about all of this. I'm doing this, so that I don't get caught up in the weeds and get sidetracked from the main point I'm trying to make.

A good theory can stand up to scrutiny so that "me too" theory thats been floating around is just nonsense. His sponsors would not come back if it was a me too thing. You need to justify his sponsors coming back if it was a "me too" thing. The questions surrounding that hypothetical do not stand up to scrutiny. Tax evasion meh, that can't be proven nor disproven. Breaking the contract so that they don't have to pay him is close, but that doesn't stand either because its not about money. Well it is at the end of the day (but) that's not the main motivation here, I suspect. I believe my theory stands up to scrutiny, but once I drop this we will see if it does or not. Now onto what I think actually happened.

Things about Twitch
-Amazon is the parent company.
-Very left ideology.
-Banned male & females because of unclear rules & standards.
-Banned male & females because ideology alone.
-The scales are tipped in females favor (there are still more males I know) but let's just say for time being they are more lenient towards females.

Things about Dr. Disrespect
-Says whatever
-Hes very vocal about things
-He's Married
-He's cheated (get to that later).
-Sponsors came back (that's important, again later).

Now to paint a picture with all these points. Twitch was originally about gaming and was even super strict about only gaming. Then it later turned into ideology and became about inclusion and whatever else. Bans originally happened due to lack of gaming, but then bans later became about ideology. Male & females were banned over subjectively silly things. Like mud cookies, emojis, cosplay, talking points, so on so forth. They got zero tolerance for a certain type of thinking, if you know what I mean...... Any person that believes in wrong think is subject to a permaban. There's a certain kind of irony as to how Twitch is ran. Because while Amazon and Twitch ideology wise, match. The fact Amazon is highly capitalist and Twitch staff hates capitalism is ironic. Getting caught up in the weeds so anyway. This (inclusive) environment twitch attempts to cultivate does the exact opposite. It creates this culture of fear amongst the (wrong thinkers) because they gotta toe the line and make sure they don't say anything wrong. A good example of this, is trainwreckstv. He tries to stay as objective as possible, but always has to throw in some inclusionary comment, to shield himself from a ban. He doesn't strike me as someone thats hateful or exclusionary yet, gotta throw in disclaimers to let twitch know he's still inclusive.

Let's contrast this with Amazon and how Amazon is run. For the longest time Amazon let anything go. Notice how they became the biggest company in the world then started banning stuff. The censorship only started happening when they became the biggest which means they are capitalist first then left, 2nd. They have taken down shirts from the proud boys and extremist books or rather, what they perceive as "extremist" content. To stay on topic, I'm not here to debate whether any of this is right or wrong because I don't care about that right now. Point being they ban books, but yet keep people like Ben Shapiro & Ann Coulter up. So what that tells me is, they do have a line or rather, there are limitations to their censorship.

Contrast all of this with Twitch. There have been stories of all the money twitch makes and it doesn't ever go to infrastructure or functionality. But rather, just into the pockets of Twitch. Twitch also got zero tolerance when banning people. At least when Amazon bans (censors) there seems to be some tolerance. What I'm eluding to, is that Twitch is ideology first, money later. Let's go over some bans to further reinforce this theory. You got Brittany Venti she was indefinitely banned twice and finally permabanned. She would poke & prod them constantly, when they allowed groups to try and be more inclusionary. Venti tried creating the DUM group (disabled underrepresented minorities) what got her permanently banned was her mud cookies stream (I think). Somewhere in the timeline of bans. They lost their patience and moved to a zero tolerance policy. You had a Foreign streamer cosplay an Apex Legends character and get banned for black face. There's Helenalive that I believe said there are 2 genders. Guys banned for mocking titty streamers, a different guy banned for his emojis (I think it was SpongeBob related) idk. Some people offended only once and get permabanned. Twitch is ran ideology first, money later.

Back to Doc, as covered in that list of things about him. He is very vocal, has no filter and says whatever he wants. He's given his unfiltered thoughts on titty streamers and has even talked shit about Twitch while broadcasting on Twitch. There's an obvious conflict of ideology when it comes to Twitch and Doc. What I believe happened is, he's been on a shit list and been on it for a while, but was too big to ban. I believe they underestimated his growth and by the time they took notice of him being a shitlord, it was already too late. They couldn't ban him for being on their shitlist anymore. Say what you want about the man, but he's no idiot. A low IQ individual wouldn't get as far as he did with just dumb luck alone. Objectively and observably he has proven he's no idiot. So the next question in this process what makes the timing of his ban unique? Why didn't they ban him during the bathroom incident? Especially since they had the full backing of the media to do so also? That was around the time, all these streaming sites were popping up. If I remember correctly, mixer was up and so was stream.me and of course Dlive too, which is still around. All these alternative streaming sites cut into the bottom line of twitch. This actually happened to big beer in America. Sales were going down of major beer brands and it wasn't because a decrease of sales in beer, but actually a bunch of microbreweries popped up in past few decades. Big beer in America bought out the major microbreweries because little by little their bottom line was being cut into by all the microbreweries. Just to name a few for those that might not know (goose Island, Four peaks, Elysian Brewing Co. And Blue point) to name a few are now under the Anheuser-Busch name alone. That's not including the other big 2 beer companies in America. I think this was happening to Twitch. All these streaming alternatives were cutting into their bottom line and they couldn't afford to cut Dr. Disrespect despite wanting to.

Which leads me to Mixer they outlasted Stream.me had a big name behind their brand (Microsoft) and they also sniped Shroud and Ninja from them. So they were looking like a major competitor. Instead of their being 3 major streaming sites YouTube, Twitch, Facebook. While Facebook does allow streaming they are not technically Twitch competition. People from Twitch and YouTube don't mess with Facebook like that, but the audience was being split even more with the addition of Mixer. They were bleeding so much because of mixer. They locked the Doc in with a contract. He's been on stream talking about Ninja and Shrouds move. He did not hesitate to say he got no allegiance to Twitch. He was there because of the numbers that's it, but if Mixer could double what they offered Ninja & Shroud, he might move over. So twitch locked the Doc in to stop the bleeding. Once Mixer went under the bleeding stopped, self sustainability wasn't top priority anymore and Twitch went back to being ideologically driven and got rid of the Doc for being on their shit list for so long. Also yes, I think the answer is something as simple and trivial as Doc being a shitlord and they don't like him. So they got rid of him because they know they will remain one of the top 3 streaming sites despite axing him. Losing him to a pre existing competitor is fine. The benefits of axing him outweigh the cons. The benefits are, a thorn in their side is now gone. They don't have to pay him what was agreed upon in the contract. It is unlikely he'll strike a deal with a different streaming site. Because they know he will follow the numbers, so no company will need to lock him in since naturally he's going to follow the numbers. Which pointed to YouTube all along and his return stream was YouTube after all.

To see the cons from the perspective of Twitch just flip around the pros and you got what they would view as cons if they kept him. What further proves this theory of mine is the weird comments post ban. His comments on why "he doesn't know what got him banned" are not strange. For legal purposes it makes sense, he would say that publicly. What struck me as strange is his wife's response on IG. I personally like to give people the benefit of the doubt and so. I wasn't going to assume she was a doormat, unless she proved otherwise. That being said...... this being about a me too thing struck me as odd because of her calm and rational response. It told me there was more to the story and I wasn't going to jump to the conclusion that she's detached from reality like Camille Cosby is (Bill Cosbys wife). He already cheated on her once and if he did it again. Her response would be different on IG. Then you got the curious case of his sponsors. How some left only a day later, but came back 3-4 days later. That right there also disproves a "me too" thing. While sponsors returning is not 100% definitive, but here's where the "he's not an idiot" comes into play. He can retire right now if he wanted to. He can fuck off like Dave Chappelle did and come back if he wanted. He got enough money to do so. That being said, his sponsors returning was particularly weird because if he did something so egregious. His sponsors would not come back. Also I'm sure if he was in the wrong and wanted to lie to them, as long as possible. They would find out the truth eventually and the ramifications of lying to them would be more severe, compared to just letting them go. If he did something so wrong, he would not stick around. He knows it would be futile. Also sponsors and brands (influencers) benefit from a long term relationship not short term. The longer a sponsor is with a brand the more exposure that sponsor gets. So again him lying just so it would benefit him in the short term just doesn't make any sense.

You would think I'm done but there's even more minute details to cover in this whole debacle. Because even after this explanation there's still unanswered questions. From this point on I'll try to answer and rationalize the unanswered questions.

Does Doc know? I suspect yes, I believe he has a (hunch) lets say. While he may not know the exact reason. I'm sure he has an idea by now. He's on their shit list and that they don't like him.

Is this whole mess really about not liking someone? Yes because Twitch is Ideologically driven first then money later. Besides sometimes the real answer is super uneventful and anticlimactic.

Why take the risk? I'm guessing they assumed he would run his mouth about Twitch given that's what his persona is about. I believe they didn't expect him to be cool, calm & collected about this. Which only helps his case (will get into that later).


Why did Streamers claim to know? I'm guessing they were pawns. Get people off their trail. Spread a false narrative around behind the scenes because if the real reason came out it would be far worse than the false narrative being spread.

If all of this is true why the silence on Docs part?

This is the last thing I'll cover because all the previously stated information reinforces my rationalization for his silence. I'll give my armchair lawyer take on his silence. Twitch and just streaming in general is the wild west. There has yet to be any labor laws and there are no non compete agreements. So the contract he had with Twitch I'm sure had some kind breaking of the contract clause. He couldn't break it for trivial reasons, nor could Twitch. Therein lies the problem, they broke it first not him. I believe they were banking on him running his mouth and talking about the money he lost with the breaking of the contract and thus ruining his own legal defense. What they didn't expect is him to be so calm and rational about this. Which will just strengthen his legal case. I believe they were thinking "Mixers gone, we can finally get rid of Doc, we won't have to pay him, get rid that thorn in our side and surely since he's a loud mouth he will run his mouth about his ban and ruin his case in court". I believe they were gambling on it playing out like that. It tips the scales in his favor to act coy.

To end this, not sure what was covered in this thread. I still wasn't a member when this was unfolding. I could be wrong about all of this. I'm just trying to make sense of a very bizarre situation. This is the most sense I could make of this particular situation.

Additional Notes
*With chat needing to be moderated and channels having a "brand rating". Getting rid of Doc had a secondary effect that I forgot to mention. Getting rid of him, gets rid of his shitlord fans and commmenters. So if you think there's no benefit of banning him over trivial reasons, think again.

Yeah if you noticed it reads as if it was already wrote up, which it was. I kept it in my notes and never released it because I didn't know where to drop it. Known about this site for a while never occurred to me to sign up sooner. Since the time of Doc getting banned there's way more examples of them being ideology first revenue later. Twitch are sitting on their throne of money as competitors today, get choked out through access by big tech. They can sit on their throne of money because of the difficulty of creating a new engaging streaming site. I like Doc because he's been the only gaming shitlord to make it big. He's kinda like the Alex Jones of gaming. But I enjoy Doc for the same reasons I enjoy Alex because I don't watch or support either of them. I like em' for the memes.

TimTheTatman Implies He & Dr Disrespect Can't Even Play Off-Stream​

Streamer TimtheTatman that he and Dr Disrespect can't play games even if it's off-camera, which may be against Twitch's rules.

BY CAROL ZHANGPUBLISHED 12 HOURS AGO

1618555833486.png

Popular Twitch streamer TimTheTatman has recently revealed to viewers that Twitch rules may forbid him from even playing off-stream with Dr Disrespect. Banned by Twitch in June 2020, Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm first shot to major fame playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and is best known for his over-the-top streaming persona. Donning a black mullet wig, a moustache, sunglasses, and a red tactical vest, Beahm becomes Dr Disrespect, and his many Twitch viewers loved the character until his sudden ban.

Twitch’s ban of Dr Disrespect came merely months after the pair had signed a multi-year contract to keep Beahm on the platform, during a period big streamers such as Tyler “Ninja” Blevins and Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek were offered lucrative contracts to move onto the now defunct streaming website Mixer. While Beahm insists he does not know why Twitch made the decision to remove him from the streaming platform, his channel remains banned ten months on. Aside from being unable to broadcast on Twitch due to the ban, Beahm is also prohibited from appearing on any other Twitch streamers' broadcast, as well.

As first reported by Dexerto, TimTheTatman was asked by a viewer during a stream whether there was a possibility that he would play with Dr Disrespect off-stream. His response was brief, replying, “I don’t think I can.” With a resigned expression he added his feelings on the situation, calling it “stupid.” This could be due to the streaming platform’s rules, which prohibit partnered streamers from streaming on other platforms such as YouTube or Facebook Gaming. Tim’s answer may suggest that despite not streaming on another platform, Twitch may also not allow partnered streamers to appear on a non-Twitch broadcast such as Dr Disrespect’s YouTube stream.

Of course, it could be that TimTheTatman may have misinterpreted his viewer’s question, as it would be difficult for Twitch to enforce its rules should the two streamers decide to play together while both were off-stream. Despite their inability to play together while broadcasting, it seems Tim remains friends with Beahm, defending him when a viewer later made fun of Dr Disrespect’s skill in Call of Duty: Warzone. Tim responded to the viewer, stating, “Hey, don’t be mean to my friend Doc! Only I can be mean to him.” He then went on to playfully tease Beahm, who was not present in the stream, adding, “He does suck though.”

It is doubtful that viewers will be able to see Dr Disrespect and TimTheTatman reunite on stream anytime soon, as Twitch has yet to publicly state the reasoning behind Beahm’s ban, other than that he had “acted in violation” of their community guidelines. It is interesting that ten months on from the initial ruling, Twitch has upheld the ban - the website has been known to be inconsistent at times with policing their more popular content creators. Dr Disrespect has been known in the past to get up to some controversial antics on stream, including bringing his stream into a public bathroom during E3 in 2019. Unless the website decides to ease their rules for partnered streamers, or for Dr Disrespect, it is unlikely viewers will see Beahm on Twitch in any capacity soon.

Dr Disrespect Twitch Ban Caused By Mixer, According To Rumor From CoD VA​

A Call of Duty voice actor has suggested that Dr Disrespect was reportedly banned from Twitch after backstabbing the company in contract negotiations.

BY CADE ONDER PUBLISHED MAR 03, 2021

1618556250355.png

Call of Duty voice actor Jeff Leach has offered some new insight on the curious case of Dr Disrespect's Twitch ban. The popular livestreamer was banned last summer in a sudden and jarring move, though Dr Disrespect has maintained that the reasons why were never explained to him.

Dr Disrespect, aka Guy Beahm, is a former Call of Duty developer himself and designed some of the maps in Advanced Warfare. The dev eventually made the move to become an entertainer but has been no stranger to controversies. The influencer had what is arguably his biggest moment of controversy when he livestreamed inside of a bathroom at E3, leading to a temporary ban. None of this was ever enough to sway Twitch from actually disassociating with Dr Disrespect as they'd usually continue to promote him after a bit of a time out. That changed last year, for some mysterious reason.

Jeff Leach, who played Ghost in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, noted in an interview with DanAllenGaming he had heard rumors of what had happened with Dr Disrespect via people he knew that had worked at Twitch, most notably suggesting it came as a result of Mixer's closure. "What I have heard through various people who work at Twitch is that when it came to renegotiation time for his contract and he was using offers from Mixer as leverage to get himself a bit more money out of Twitch," said Leach before doubling down that it's all alleged and he can't be 100% sure but believed it to be credible.

These talks were going on right before Mixer announced it was shutting down, which Leach believes led Twitch to think Dr Disrespect was lying about an offer. After all, why would a company that is shutting down offer someone millions of dollars to come stream for a couple of days or weeks? Twitch reportedly took offense to this after sticking by the controversial streamer for years and helping him build his career, even using him as one of its key streamers after Ninja departed for Mixer. The timeline does seem to add up as Mixer announced its closure roughly a week prior to the ban. Some speculated there were legal implications around his disappearance, but given he has moved to another platform and continues to stream, it's likely he's just fine.

The only people who probably definitely know what happened are Dr Disrespect himself and Twitch. Whether or not anything ever actually comes to light officially is unknown, but for now, this is one of the more feasible and relatively concrete explanations for the bizarre situation. For now, Dr Disrespect is on YouTube where he doesn't seem to have skipped a beat.

That offered potentially more insight than famed eSport “journalist and consultant” Todd Breslau had to offer last summer. Breslau hyped it up to be sexual harassment. What an attention seeking faggot.

Dr Disrespect is suing twitch apparently. He also claims to now know why he was banned, and has known for months now (but seems to have not said why).

I saw an article pop up on Facebook about this. It's believable. You're not really supposed to say shit when in the process of a lawsuit so I'm surprised he even said that much.

What he said was pretty unoffensive. You're not supposed to say stuff in so far that you don't want to jeopardize one of your claims by admitting something you didn't have to admit, or contradicting yourself. Like lets say a fat, alcoholic Virginian sued Null for sustained harassment and illegally accessing information. If that man gets on a stream and says that "[he] knows that Josh never broke any laws or threatened him in any way, and it was his users who uploaded the information and simply hosting it is legal under US Law, but God damn I want to sue that Josh Moon because he's an awful person and he'll get what he deserves", then Null could motion in court that the Accuser knows that this is a frivolous lawsuit, and that it should be thrown out with prejudice.

If he's suing them, then the filing/grounds for the lawsuit are all going to be public knowledge. The only ways he could've messed up is if he's in the absolute earliest stages of suing, at which point he gave Twitch needless heads up, or if he says in it "I have literally no idea why they banned me, outside of a hunch" which would be contradicted by "I know exactly why they banned me". EVEN STILL, contradicting yourself does not dismiss a valid claim. Him knowing or not knowing his reason for suspension doesn't matter if it was broken in such a way that violated his contract. Saying I know I was fired for racial discrimination, even if that's just a hunch, doesn't invalidate a lawsuit for illegal dismissal if the firing was done based on a protected class.

Ironic, that if they were trying to stifle alternatives that they just made them bigger by forcing him there especially if he's just the 'kingmaker' kind of dude

Also, twitch streamers cant have his voice on stream? the fuck kind of arbitrary bullshit is that, does that mean you get fucked if someone joins your lobby as drdisrespect and play a soundboard of him? it could be like the new nigger that gets twitchers shut down

To my knowledge, nobody has been banned for using a Doc soundboard. Using his likeness is also fine as long as it's in-game (see: Rogue Company, a game which features a Dr. Disrespect level and character model.) However, a streamer was banned from participating in official Twitch tournaments by cosplaying as Doc during the tournament itself. Despite being a Twitch-sponsored tournament, he wasn't actually partnered with Twitch, so I'm not sure if the same action would have been taken if he had a contract with them and pulled the same stunt.

I don't know what to think about the lawsuit. Seems like something that would settle outside of court.
 
Well this is something I didn't think would happen: A former Twitch employee dropped a suuubtle suggestion on X that the reason Doc was permanently banned on Twitch was because he got caught sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product. He was trying to meet up with her at TwitchCon when the ban hammer drop.

This boy is opening the mother of all rippers with these allegations. Either he has the receipts proving this and is holding them, he can't because this wasn't meant to be known, or the fucker is lying out of his ass.


Either way; the gaming community is going to have a fucking fit this weekend lmao.
