Despite relocating to Rumble and maintaining a steady stream of content on YouTube, Dr Disrepect refuses to let go of his years-old permanent ban from Twitch. In 2020, the notoriously controversial creator was booted unceremoniously from Twitch, and last year, we found out why.
Recently, the smeared streamer took to social media to stress that ‘we should’ve never been banned in the first place’, insisting that his ‘Doc character’ should be reinstated on the platform. This comes after months, if not years, of a smear campaign against Twitch headed by the man himself.
‘Pathetic’
Strangely, it wasn’t ‘Dr Disrespect’ that made the post on social media, but Guy Beahm. Dr Disrespect is a ‘persona’ of Beahm, who started streaming almost fifteen years ago, birthing this inane, eccentric, and egotistical character.
On Twitter (X), Beahm wrote:
Although things have been ‘settled’, Twitch should do the right thing and correct their mistake of permanently banning the Doc by reinstating the channel.
We should’ve never been banned in the first place.
Twitch should’ve never allowed a low level employee to override the entire ban system, which had already determined we didn’t do anything wrong, because of biased opinions of the Doc character.
They could’ve reached out and had a quick 5 minute call and realize these mutual jokes and bantering never had serious intentions.
Pathetic.
Bizarrely, he attempts to pass off messaging a minor and making inappropriate comments (which he admitted to doing) as ‘mutual jokes and bantering’. To this day, Beahm has never cleared the air about what was said in 2017 on Twitch to a minor, which ultimately led to him being permanently banned from the site.
He maintains that he never did anything wrong, but that didn’t stop his peers, sponsors, and even close friends from cutting ties with him.
It’s a weird situation all around. Recently, Dr Disrespect signed a deal with Rumble, a competing streaming platform, and today, he’s begging Twitch to take him back, which is a kick in the gut to whoever paid him over on Rumble.
Do you think Dr Disrespect should be allowed to return to Twitch, or should he be pushed off every streaming platform in the business? Let us know in the comments or on the GPlayr forum.
