A streamer I was just watching said that he contacted some people close to Twitch re: Doc's ban and was given a "hint" as to what happened, but that it wasn't specific enough to easily draw a conclusion. His chat pressed him to give up details and he finally said (roughly): "This is the kind of thing that I don't think will leak soon. I don't think people will find out for a while what actually went down."

I wonder what that means in the context of Doc himself saying he didn't know the specifics either?

Don't confuse Doc saying 'Twitch hasn't told me why' with him not actually knowing why.

This video essentially reiterates my belief that this has nothing to do with a potential #MeToo allegation, since the ban was announced before anything else. A real allegation would have been publicly announced, and the ban would have been the fallout of the allegation...not the other way around as people are speculating. The general theory is that it's a legal matter like a breach of contract, or that he wanted to leave Twitch to join another platform:

Tempting theory, but how do you explain giphy removing DD gifs? The paranoia that it's a potential metoo? https://gamerant.com/dr-disrespect-gif-ban/

Some of these 'I work at twitch- listen to me bud' theories from anonymous message boards seem to be getting pretty out there.

Can't wait for the "Dr D is really a criminal mastermind that pulled off some outrage heist, and this whole event is the FBI connecting the Pieces to encriminate him." Bullshit tales.

Some company, Razer I think, removed, added, removed, added, removed DrDisrespect.

Nobody fucking knows, but it's great memery on r/livestreamfails. Someone posts completely unrelated just for people to go "Okay but what about Dr?"
 
I can't for the life of me find it, but I came across another theory that it isn't the #MeToo public court of shame and life ruining, but instead some girl came out to the feds about rape allegations with proof around the time he cheated on his wife at twitch con. Using the cheating as a way to drift attention completely away from the girl coming out to authorities.
(I personally don't think this to be the reason either)

However it didn't occur to me until today that he did dismiss his wife who came in while he was streaming which means she is aware of at least something.

I don't believe this is boring legal shit. To me, the only plausible theory is a federal investigation into something the public would find abhorrent. Dog fighting, human trafficking, minors, something gross. Stealing from charity might qualify, but I doubt it. Just because he has not been arrested by the sheriff doesn't mean he isn't federal custody or under investigation.

I must say though, I am insanely curious about what is going on considering I don't pay attention to or give a shit about any of the parties involved.

if that was the case then how the fuck would twitch, and only twitch, know about it while the entire rest of the public has no idea what is going on?

Several possibilities. One is that a Twitch employee was the whistle blower and the company itself brought the issue to authorities. Another is that Twitch staff were interviewed by feds. Or a criminal act could have taken place at a corporate event.

Sure, it could be some contract dispute bullshit but with several relatively reputable people calling the issue 'sensitive' and declining to report, boring legal shit doesn't make sense to me. If it was a contract breech someone would have said that by now. No deets are necessary to throw out that simple explanation to appease fans and stop the rumor mill.

lmao no
business agreements that involve big sums of money are some of the most 'sensitive' things that exist at corporations, it's their equivalent of what the govt puts in classified documents. people absolutely do NOT like having these things drawn out in public, that's why so many companies make people sign NDAs about all sorts of shit like this.

Could be a corporate memorandum for all we know.

Is Giphy tied to Amazon like Twitch is?

Even if it isn't, a lot of the Silicon Valley technocrats collude together in what is more or less a de facto oligopoly at this point, so it's possible that Amazon/Twitch might be leaning on smaller sites like Giphy to unperson him.

I think it's contract breach related, and probably tied to the "Alt-tech" sphere that Silicon Valley has been going above and beyond to crush for the better part of a decade now.
