Streamer Dr Disrespect was banned from Twitch in 2020 over inappropriate texts he sent to a girl even after learning she was underage

“I recall that Dr Disrespect was made aware by the individual that they were underage during the conversation, after which he indicated that this was no problem and continued on,” the former employee says. “There was no confusion. Messages sent after this was acknowledged were no less graphic and in sexually explicit nature than before, and I think more than the categorization of ‘leaning too much in the direction of being inappropriate’ might indicate.”

    He never tweeted that he “sexted a minor.”

    Link to HIS TWEET

    “These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.”

    Now, I personally pretty regularly say a lot of shit that can be considered “inappropriate,” but that does not equate to sexual on its own. I’m interested in seeing how this story develops, but it seems most people have already made up their minds and branded him a criminal.

      If you’re a 40 y/o texting “inappropriate” things to a minor, you should have your twitch contract cancelled too.

        If you’re a 40 y/o entertainer using your exclusive platform’s built in chat to engage with your fans and audience without a filter, you haven’t done anything wrong. What do you call inappropriate? Using the word ass, either figuratively or literally? Talking about hemorrhoids? Religion? Marijuana? There really is no information to work with here, and Doc couldn’t provide it even if he wanted to.

          This isn’t a case of a streamer talking to a viewer through chat. This is a case of an adult private messaging with a minor in a self admittedly “inappropriate” manner. Doc might have said after the fact that he didn’t “intend” on following through with his messages, but when an adult, even jokingly, is making plans to meet up with a fan at a convention who is a minor, that’s a BIG red flag.

          Twitch had no choice but to ban him. What if they did nothing and he did end up meeting up with them? What if it turned into SA allegations and it was found out that Twitch was aware of this? I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want my kids talking to an adult over private messages full stop. Let alone if the content was “inappropriate”.

            “Leaning inappropriate”. And it was through Twitch’s message system. Also no confirmation on a meetup, that is hearsay, but hypothetically if Doc said he would be at a convention in character that itself isn’t a red flag. Markiplier meets kids at conventions all the time, gets autograph lines out the doors.

            Twitch already “did nothing”. The supposed chat logs were from 3 years before his ban.
