Dr. Disrespect is an American Twitch streamer and internet personality.
Over the course of his career hes garnered over 3.4 million followers who love the gamers
dominant trash talking and skill that backs it all up.
Today well be catching you up on what went down between Dr. Disrespect and the latest
E3 conference that resulted in the twitch streamer being banned from both Twitch and
E3.
Inviting someone to your function with the name Dr. Disrespect and expecting them not
to misbehave is like buying a monkey and expecting them not to poop in their hands and throw
it at you.
Its just in their nature to do so.
Funny enough potty humour is also what got Herschel aka the doc into some hot water with
both Twitch and E3.
During a live stream broadcast of the conference the two-time had to take a number two, but
instead of telling his camera guy to wait outside he had him continue the stream by
following him into the bathroom.
For which the conference did not take kindly to.
When first walking into the bathroom he does a quick mirror check and then oddly yells
out for his bodyguard before saying to the thousands of people watching - ladies and
gentlemen I have to take a diarrhea.- The camera then follows Doc right until the point
where he enters one of the stalls.
The main issue here is that not only was he recording in a bathroom, for which California
law clearly prohibits the use of a camcorder, motion picture camera, or photographic camera
of any type, to secretly videotape, film, photograph or record by electronic means,
another identifiable person who may be in a state of full or partial undress, for the
purpose of viewing the body of or the undergarments worn by, that other person, without the consent
or knowledge of that other person, in the interior of a bedroom, bathroom, changing
room, fitting room, dressing room, or tanning booth, or the interior of any other area in
which that other person has a reasonable expectation of privacy.- Although its not just the fact
that he was recording in the bathroom, according to Kotaku they said - Herschel entered the
mens room with tens of thousands of people watching his stream, then shouted the word
bodyguard!
While E3 attendees - including one that looked to be a child - used urinals in the background.
He then went into a stall.- So not only was he recording adults, but a child as well who
you can clearly make out in the background of the shots.
Now it would have been bad enough if Doc had done this once, but nope his live stream reentered
the bathroom again.
After taking a lot of selfies with very excited fan boys, roaming the E3 floor making fun
of Nintendo booths and mobile gamers he went back into the bathroom following his bodyguard
Dan the body capturing more surprised E3 fans trying to do their business.
Many of these conventions have a very strict anti-harassment policy on things like this
so as such he promptly had his E3 badge revoked.
Esports analyst Rod Breslau was the first to break the news about the bathroom antics
saying - actual breaking news - Doc has been banned slash suspended off Twitch for streaming
inside the bathroom at E3.- Following the tweet up by saying that Twitch made the right
call to suspend Doc.
Since the incident Dr. Disrespects channel has been removed from Twitch were assuming
because this violates one of their key policies.
Which explicitly says that recording someone against their will or with the intent to harm
them is part of their anti-harassment policy.
They also added - Violating our policy against harassment will result in your account being
suspended.
Depending on the severity of the offense, harassers may be indefinitely suspended on
the first violation.- As you can imagine many other big twitch stars have spoken out about
the ban on the doc.
We had Tfue who posted a photo of himself in some Doc cosplay with the simple caption
of Free Dr. Disrespect.
With others such as Ninja commenting that Mr. Respectful would have never slipped up
this hard . While the two differ on the innocence of the Doc, we agree with Ninja on this one
that when you break the rules you need to be punished, its just that simple.
Its not like his channel will be permanently banned, but perhaps this time off will allow
him to reflect on his actions and maybe question just how far this character needs to go when
operating in the real world.
Although knowing Dr. Disrespect you can be sure that he will have a lot to say once his
stream is back up and running.
My guess is that his followers will go up after the press coverage on this incident
and that may negatively impact his future actions.
If hes rewarded with people clamoring for more, its not going to stop him from being
crazy next time he gets an opportunity like this.
That being said with a first offense like this for Dr. Disrespect his channel will be
banned on Twitch for 24-hours.
Even though he had all of this bathroom shenanigans going down people seem to be forgetting that
he also heavily trash talked both mobile gamers as well as Nintendo fans.
Even tweeting out that mobile gamers arent real gamers Following that on his live stream
he walked past the Nintendo area saying - I feel like Nintendo people blend in with mobile
gamers, right?
Lets blend in.- Doc then held his phone sideways pretending to be a mobile gamer while relentlessly
mocking them by yelling - Its Nintendo!
Nintendo! - as he danced like a fool in front of the Nintendo booth.
- For me thats more disrespectful then filming in a bathroom.
We want to hear from you though so comment down below with where you stand on his Twitch
and E3 banning.
