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

[owTwo]

Only one person is claiming he was sexting a minor. The other accuser, an anonymous accuser, only mentioned:
1. Messaging a minor
2. Twitch acting after an extended period of time after the messages occurred, with no specific date range provided

One former Twitch employee, who asked to remain anonymous citing the potential risk to their career, told The Verge that Beahm had used Whispers, Twitch’s now-defunct messaging system, to exchange messages with a minor and initiate a conversation about meeting up at TwitchCon. The employee worked on Twitch’s trust and safety team at the time of the ban in 2020.

...


The former employee who spoke with The Verge also shared more insight into the order of events that led to the ban. They said there was a significant amount of time between when the messages between Beahm and the alleged victim were sent and when the moderation report about those messages was filed, but they weren’t able to recall how much time. When Twitch received the report in 2020, they said that Twitch investigated the claims and ultimately banned Beahm’s channel.

Obviously, you don't do this either. Directly messaging your fans about meetups is just an unnecessary activity. Assuming this is the case, it showcases an appearance of impropriety and likely violated some kind of Twitch rules. Worst case scenario being that they did in fact meet up and have sexual contact. Best case being it was something innocuous like "come to the booth at TwitchCon while I'm doing signings!" You also have all the middle-grounds where the conversation started on Twitch, moved off-app from Twitch DMs to something like Discord or Instagram, and from there Twitch bans him but can't actually prove anything happened off-platform.

There's just enough wiggle room that you could either condemn Doc or not, and I wouldn't blame you either way.

But Twitch really comes out of this looking like shit.

So why did Twitch settle the contract? You can't tell me it woulda been cheaper to pay that settlement rather than the lawyers that are already being paid.

That's part of why I don't believe it or am at least skeptical of it. Okay, let's say he was knowingly telling an underage girl to come to TwitchCon so he can disrespect her insides. Twitch finds out and tells him to GTFO, and then he sues Twitch for contract violation, and they come to an agreement to settle the debts and go their separate ways. I'm open to being wrong, but to me, Twitch is the one holding the power to kill in that situation; you don't settle unless you got something to hide or it's a completely different reason altogether. I'm also open to Twitch being responsible for it, like I honestly wouldn't be surprised if a Twitch Account Handler told him "Yo, we got this sweet pussy coming in, hit it up." But at the same time, it's easier to say it's something else, and I'll go the easier route, until something proves otherwise.

I put Doc on in the background while I work sometimes. He's been hinting for a while that he's getting sick of the streaming thing. I think his enthusiasm has been eroding since the Twitch ban and he's been sucking it up so he can keep the gravy train going. He doesn't like where the big streaming games are at now (Fortnite, COD, Escape from Tarkov, etc.), and he doesn't like the more experimental indie stuff either. I think he really likes the character and the bit and the vibe, but has been losing his passion for the actual streaming/vidya part of it and Midnight Society dropping him over these allegations (for at the moment that is all they are), was the final straw and he's just over it.

This all can be true whether he is guilty of grooming a ten year old or not.

Sounds about right. Honestly, I think Doc is just burnt out and we'd have naturally seen him fuck off into the sunset with his money, but this allegation shit throws a wrench in a lot of it. Especially if the lot of it turns out to be bullshit. Doc was losing steam as it is, and as much as I like the man as an entertainer, he's had his time in the sun. He has enough of a revenue stream to where he can retire in peace (if he's made some smart investments that is), but like I said this thing just threw that plan out of whack. I HOPE the lot of it is bullshit (or at the very least overblown), but until Doc is in court with actual physical evidence used against him, it all boils down to people who hate him want to see him and his family ruined.

I do this at college and I never get in trouble. Apparently, this is hard for people.

You hook up with 17 year olds at a collage?

Standard Janny behavior, carry on.

If I was completely innocent, and a random Twitch faggot's tweet nuked 4 years of work building back, I would quit in disgust too.

I don't know whether the allegations are true or false. I do know they were delivered in the stupidest way by a worthless clout chasing wannabe janny, and it was immediately spread and accepted as true. No sane person would stake their livelihood on that environment. DDR in the clip starts out saying he's fatigued by social media, which makes me think it's the rumor mill and uncritical cancellation that got to him.

 

[Hooked on phobics]

Apparently he lost his work with midnight society game studio over the accusation, but I fucking HATE these situations. Companies cut ties on first wind of anything even if unproven.
I still think the guy didn't do anything, I think he wasn't the type to do that. Seems to me hes just tired how some (seemingly) baseless rumor fucked his connections up. At least thats how I see it.
I could be wrong, but this reeks of old gamer-gate shit where some randon cunt calls someone a rapist and then a guys life is ruined.

 

[CaliforniaRaisin]

1) Doc used Twitch whispers to try and get a side piece at a con lined up
2) Side piece reveals she's underage once doc gets explicit.
3) Doc "whoopsie fuck no's" and shuts it down.
4) Side piece threatens to go public unless $.
5) doc tells his lawyers/twitch handlers.
6) Bezos power silences side piece, and parents with a payday + nda
7) Twitch bans doc for the trouble.
Ex twitch emp. gets drunk one night and spills the tea years later.
9) The internet does its thing.

... Or not.

 

[DrearyDoomguy]

Wow, the self victimization is insane, absolute narcissist behavior. He clearly doesn't think he did anything wrong and that other people are being needlessly cruel by calling him out on his disgusting behavior. No doubt he felt entitled to access to underage girls.

That, or he's getting shit for something he never actually did. Call me crazy but getting screwed over a completely unsubstantiated twitter accusation and being legally unable to defend yourself in any substantial manner might just invoke a reaction similar to his.

You can NDA illegal activity. Hush money is quite common when women get fucked by weird old men and they don't want their fetishes public.

Women getting fucked by weird old men isn't illegal activity. Neither is a fetish.

 

[Sneedenhagen Chew]

At any rate, say it is true: what happens if he breaks the NDA? I'm assuming its just a loss of money or something else material.

You'd be shocked at how few NDAs have ever held up in court as stand-alone contracts FWIW.

ETA: Litigation fees for breaking them notwithstanding.

It really does surprise me given how many of these events have gone by - and even ones Kiwi Farms has explicitly catalogued - that later turn out to be nothing and yet, people here keep falling into this trap of believing it without any evidence. Is Doc a piece of shit? Sure. Especially with that infidelity. However, given the severity of the accusations you ask for evidence regardless. Infidelity is whatever these days, nobody cares about them anymore unless you're like selling a wholesome image to someone and Doc is not doing that.

Sexting a minor? That's a federal crime. Anthony Wiener was sent to prison for that. If Twitch covered that up then they're accomplices and they aren't gonna do that.

You'd be shocked at how few NDAs have ever held up in court as stand-alone contracts FWIW.

But then you have a company with the legal equivalent of a private military. If you want to take that chance, be my guest, but it doesn't matter how right or wrong or rich Doc is... you can't compete with Amazon. That's probably why his attorneys have been telling him to answer this way or that.

I suspect the fag who made the original post was wrong/lying about it being sexting. Some flirting and talking about meeting up, without anything explicit said, and twitch staff reading the messages (because they're worthless retards) would explain the course of events. No law actually broken, but Twitch (employees reading streamer DMs) and Doc (cheating nonce) would both be in the public firing line if things came out. The big issue with this theory is that, as I mentioned before, twitch staff are worthless retards, and expecting them to keep their mouths shut forever is a big ask. Still, 4 years is pretty good!

That's another problem, dozens of internet people that did not ever work at Twitch allegedly knew and didn't say anything. Nobody said a thing but hinted at it being seriously bad.

That means nothing. Now by no means am I saying Doc is on Harvey Weinsteins level but how many people knew Harvey was a degenerate sexual deviant and said absolutely nothing?

Ignoring talent being perverts and sexual weirdos is like the industry golden rule in media.

That, or he's getting shit for something he never actually did.

The guy is doing himself absolutely no favors by responding publicly by saying "no wrong doing was admitted".

With how this is playing out Im guessing it has to do something inappropriate behavior with someone, not necessarily illegal. If this was about business or partnerships they would have moved on and something would have come of that by now.

I never watched Disrespect, I only know about him vaguely. I remember his ban being somewhat politicalized because he was a non-left that got let in to make money on a leftist website. Him sexting an underage girl is plausible because he’s a known adulterer and sexual pervert, but I can’t help but feel there’s something strange about Conners.

I combed through the accuser’s twitter. It was extremely difficult because he speaks like a cringey wigger. Here’s an example of the pain:



I noticed one thing over and over again, he loves to speak about how he used to work at Twitch. He worked there in a business capacity (Twitch famously made so many bad business choices they lost their monopoly). From my brief view of him he seems like a LFG type that will throw around the weight of a previous employer to gain credibility. In his capacity at the company he would have no information about the banning beyond company rumors. He sounds like a burnout that got lucky in life by scoring a job years ago in a company incompetent enough to hire him. I wouldn’t trust this dude at all.

Twitch staff hated Disrespect because he wasn’t left wing. calling him a pedo is less worse to these people than calling him conservative. I’m pretty convinced this guy is too retarded to even know what he’s implying.

 

[Lurker Child]

Can anyone even tell me how old the "underage girl" was supposed to be? I can't find it anywhere.

i'd lose steam, too. everyone wants these shitty fucking "forever" games that are creatively stagnant, lack any innovation or quality control, and treat players like cash-dispensing robots. if he's innocent, he should just get the fuck out while the going's still good.

 

[Manimal House]

I got no love for Dr.Disrespect, the guy has admitted to cheating on his wife in the past and it wouldn't surprise me if he was sexting his fans on the Twitch messaging system. Seems like the type of guy that would use his notoriety to get his dick wet.

I doubt that he'd be intentionally doing that with underage girls (still possible but pics of convo or it didn't happen), but for fucks' sake Twitch needs to be held accountable for how many teenagers they've fucked up. Women doing softcore porn streams? They allowed it. Onlyfans links in bio? They allowed it. And now I guess teenagers are sexting adults and they only care about that if people find out. In Doc's case, it sounds like this Twitch employee is just a particularly retarded dipshit and ran his mouth about a case that the company settled, though it's not as if they got geniuses working there. Lest we forget that abominable tranny deer larper that became some kind of social ambassador hire. If any good can come from this, Twitch gets hit hard from the backlash. Maybe even torn apart, but I can only have so much hope.

Can't blame Doc for wanting to leave streaming behind either. Streaming used to be pretty chill until it got swarmed with freaks and losers and I mean that regarding both streamers and their audience. I've seen some where it's three people donating constantly like they're competing to be the most annoying fuckwad on the planet. Imagine putting up with that all the time.

 

[X Prime]

I have a question.

Okay, so Twitch staff can read your DMs.

Now, given that the staff are obviously doing it for political or whatever reasons, what exactly is stopping a rogue one from modifying them if they have such privileges?

I'd wager if Twitch was gonna be undone by sexual controversies; it would've been with their original stock of moderators who were known to get favors to turn a blind eye to female streamers doing dumb shit was considered meta. This was before the days of hot tubs and indoor kiddie pools and all that dumb shit, and apparently one of the biggest offenders was one of their head moderators named Hasan (not Piker), and actually before they started getting heavy handed with social clout.

Real talk for a moment, did you know "BigNig" used to be an actual emote? I don't know the dude's name, but it was the face of some fat black dude. They got rid of it when they started pushing values and shit on their platform.

They pretended to clean up their image, and started putting weirdos like the fucking deer and other degenerates into positions. Unless some sort of evidence comes out where they have a harem of trafficked 12 year olds kept in the boiler room of the Twitch building, I don't think they'll ever have any sort of reckoning.

 

[MidZeRo]

You can't NDA an ilegal activity, it would be null and void. He would have to have not done anything ilegal for an NDA to be in place for the Ex-twitch employee

Plus he fucking SUED them IN COURT and WON. They literally had to pay him. There's ZERO reality where a fucking lawyer walks into the room with Alex Goldstein behind him holding paper and Twitch DOESN'T walk out free of wrongdoing.

Not to MENTION how do you NDA some random faggot Twitch employee? These are ALL low level retards and they have other low level retards saying it was known at the time.
These people will literally kamikaze themselves out of a job over Isreal/Palestine but I'm supposed to believe all these idiots managed to keep their mouths shut about THIS?

The assumption that they would even care about an NDA about a big Twitch streamer attempting to fuck a minor I'd the biggest joke.
Despite them all saying they knew?
No one knew how to get info to anyone else they knew with plausible deniability that could ruin this dudes whole ass life overnight, like just fucking happened?

I'm not a DD fan but JFC, since when did we trust Big Tech to do ANYTHING right about CSAM and child grooming?

I'd believe the Devil if he told me my wife was running a human trafficking ring before I believed ANY of these dystopian nightmare companies took ACTUAL moral action against a potential pedo.

I do this at college and I never get in trouble. Apparently, this is hard for people.

You what? I probably misunderstood that.
