Dr Disrespect returned to streaming for the first time after a break where he confessed to sending inappropriate messages to a fan on Twitch.
However, many other streamers are not convinced by his latest explanations.
On September 6, during his comeback stream, Dr Disrespect criticized Twitch.
He claimed that former Twitch employees were working together to get him banned.
He also denied having sexual conversations with a minor.
Dr Disrespect mentioned that a judge ruled his conversation was not illegal.
Even though he said he would share more details in the future, he indicated he would stop discussing the issue for now.
His initial comments on the matter were removed, but they led to a wave of backlash from fellow streamers back in June.
Asmongold, a Twitch streamer, reflected on Dr Disrespect’s situation, noting that he believes there is a key aspect missing from the full story.
He stated that understanding why Twitch paid him might clarify many things.
Asmongold defended his stance against accusations of playing it safe by saying he is focused on uncovering the truth.
Amouranth, another prominent Twitch personality, approached the situation with humor, joking that she could see the script he was following in the reflection of his glasses.
Adin Ross, a streamer on Kick, reacted strongly and accused Dr Disrespect of being a “f*cking pedophile,” urging his audience to avoid supporting him. He emphasized that such behavior could have real-life consequences for younger viewers, stating, “He is a literal pedophile talking to a minor. No, we are not ready for this comeback.”
XQc also chimed in during his own streaming session, expressing disbelief at Dr Disrespect’s claims. He suggested that the whole situation might be a joke.
Furthermore, he raised doubts about the allegations against Twitch, questioning how they would ban someone who was such a valuable asset to their platform.
DrLupo, another notable figure in the streaming community, addressed his fans who were defending Dr Disrespect. He stated that anyone who supports such behavior must have severe issues with their reasoning, arguing that messaging a teenager when you’re in your late 30s is indefensible.
Hasan, a political streamer, highlighted how Dr Disrespect continued to maintain his character throughout this serious discussion, finding it absurd given the allegations he faces. He expressed his frustration, asking, “How can you still be in character during such serious accusations?”
For now, many in the streaming industry are not ready to forgive Dr Disrespect or accept his explanations. He plans to keep streaming on YouTube and has announced his intention to reapply for partnership with the platform on September 25.
