https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-25/youtuber-dr-disrespect-was-allegedly-kicked-off-twitch-for-messaging-minor ( https://archive.is/849W9 )

Guy Beahm, known online as Dr Disrespect, is one of the top video-game celebrities on social media, with 4.7 million YouTube subscribers. He’s worked with the San Francisco 49ers pro football team and been a spokesman for Mountain Dew soda.

He was also banned four years ago by Amazon Inc.’s Twitch for violating its community guidelines. The chat app Discord followed, removing him from its partnership program

The reasons for his banishment from Twitch were never given, but three people with knowledge of the matter said Beahm was removed because he exchanged sexually explicit messages with a minor through the service’s direct chat feature. He also asked a minor about her plans at the TwitchCon convention, according to two of the people, who asked not to be identified discussing such a sensitive matter.

        Yeah, fucking live streaming from a bathroom and actually filming people who did not agree to be filmed

        That’s so beyond the pale, I am flummoxed that anyone would try to defend him after that

        The fact that he probably has more money than I’ll ever earn is just the shit-frosting on this shit-cake

      Somehow I’ve never been less surprised by one of these revelations and I’ve seen like 2 clips of this weirdo. I think it was just him telling a story about vandalism to his home or something but it was bad vibe city.

    “Stupid fucking mistakes…”

    All of his gaming buddies seem to be slowly abandoning him… for now anyway. They’re giving guarded responses though like “if he knew it was a minor…” If he didn’t know he would’ve fucking said that! Not that it would excuse his behavior. But he didn’t even offer that light excuse.

    His excuse here though, is literally exactly the same, basically verbatim, that you’d hear from a guy on to catch a predator.

    “I just came over to hang out. She seemed cool!”

    “Did you now she was 14?”

    “14? Uh… no I di-”

    "Quote: her: “hey, I’m 14. Hehe, hope that’s ok” you: “mmm, yeah, I’ll bring extra condoms.”

    “Am… can i go? I want to go now…”

    “Of course. You can leave anytime you want.”

    man-sized-bush tackles the guy

      “I came over to talk, that’s it, I swear!”

      “Quote: ‘I am going to put my blank in your blank’”

    This video covers the full history of Dr Disrespect. It’s quite an odd history. On the day that Dr Disrespect was banned, he was promoting David Icke, an antisemitic conspiracy theorist who believes in a humanoid reptilian conspiracy theory, also known for endorsing the book “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”. Prior to the covid lockdowns, he told his viewers that he had put shungite crystals around his house to block 5G waves to protect himself from covid. He’s also friends with Nickmercs who is very transphobic. Content warning, the video shows a clip of nickmercs being transphobic and defending Dr Disrespect.

      Anyways uhm… I bought a whole bunch of shungite, rocks, do you know what shungite is? Anybody know what shungite is. No, not Suge Knight, I think hes locked up in prison. Talking shungite. Anyways, its a 2 billion year old like rock, stone that protects against frequencies and unwanted frequencies that may be traveling in the air. So thats my story. I bought a whole bunch of stuff, put them around the la casa. Little pyramids. Stuff like that.

    Were there real intentions behind these messages, the answer is absolutely not.

    doubt

    Asking a minor what their plans are seems mighty intentional especially given he had a history of sending explicit messages to another minor.

    Lmao at the commentor saying “Yeah we know youre not a Spurs fan” to imply Corbyn is an antisemite when “Spurs fans are all jews” is actually (apparently???) an antisemitic stereotype.
