He was probably in a phone call with Mel Gibson, just catching up, and you know how things went from there...

I think he and the other major streamers should get some investors and start their own streaming service. It would work if they limited it to just “big” names moving over from Twitch. Then, open it up to everyone as the service grows.

It'll be about money, guy either dodged taxes or was making side money that went against his contract with twitch.
Folks thinking he killed someone, wtf.

Ye I think so at this point.
If it would be some metoo shit his wife wouldn't be so quick to make a statement like that.

That would be an interesting idea. Kind of like a pro streamer league with 32 participants.
Although unlikely as every streamer is out for himself trying to get as many clicks as possible, but if they work together they can even organize it so gamers know which games and times each streamer will play and they aren't cannibalizing each other with all 32 people playing LoU 2 at once.
Have streamer match ups in MP games in a playoff bracket etc...

If it really is just about him moving to another platform and Twitch getting pissy about him using some loophole in his contract, then it's really annoying that people who knew something about it were acting like this was some big sensitive subject that they just can't talk about.
But I'd also be surprised that Twitch erased him from every aspect of the platform in an immediate sweep just because of that.

I've only watched some of his clips and he gets hyper sometimes. Not sure how much of it is an act and how much he really gets into the MP game, but maybe he went ape shit and trashed his gaming gear or threw something at his wife and cops were called.

Thats why I think its definitely IP. When they said he was done I think they mean the character. There will be some technicality I think that means they can retire the character but this is just speculation.

Ok now that's an interesting theory. In that case, there could be no bad blood at all. Maybe the guy who plays Doc just wanted to switch things up and not be that character anymore and Twitch is helping him transition out of it and promote the next thing he does for his stream (since they both benefit from him succeeding with the change). What if he just returns on monday as some new character or just as himself. That could actually make sense.
But damn, people are out here speculating that he raped someone or got caught with child porn or something lol. I wonder if that's the kind of promotion they were looking for.

It's probably something simple, I agree. I'm just saying that Twitch is well aware that their creators' have a shelf life. If he did something that lets Twitch escape its contract with him, however minor that thing may be, they're going to take advantage of it. There are only so many eyeballs and you want some of those eyeballs on the next big thing you're promoting.

He and his supporters are one of the many reasons why you better don't admit to the public that your gaming as well. Pathetic schtick and good riddance.
Edit:
To make it clear. It's not just him. It's the whole YouTube/twitch "celebs" which turn my dick inwards because of their cringey appearances. Nothing more than attention seeking adhd extroverts. But to each their own.

Not knowing is driving me crazy.
And I don't even watch Drdisrespect lol.
Edit: I doubt it's sexual allegations tho.
If it was then we probably would've seen it be turned into a public shitshow. The secrecy makes me think that he might've done something illegal that isn't like that, maybe drugs?

Is Dr.Respect a conservative by any chance?

...lacks reading comprehension.
Lol, he would have been banned within 5 minutes on Mixer. Mixer doesn't joke around with inclusiveness.

Get real, no one is being banned for being Conservative. Especially a money maker like him.

Nah they had to pull the plug at some point. The fact that they were barely experiencing any growth during covid while all the competing platforms were experiencing exponential growth during the same time period means they pretty much had no choice.
If it wasn't going to grow during covid while literally everyone is at home 24/7 then it was never going to grow.

We now know the MS plan, probably from begining, to use Mixer platform to test it's technology and when it reaches RC state, then "beta testing platform" is no longer needed... But I am salty honestly, because their stream were really low-latency and very high quality and if I wanted to show some game to friends, it was best way to do it. So they could enjoy the look of the game with minimal artefacting, etc.

Try being a conservative on twitter. Or how 90% of the news media are all liberals. It's no conspiracy. It's a fact.

Is this wisdom from Nerd Strangler? Where do I pay up for your genius? When you see all of the news outlets showing bias, then it's probably a fact. If you think most news outlets are not biased, then do some research.

Maybe Bezos didn’t want to be outed as a Lizard so when he started talking about David Icke it set off the alarms and they took him to the next dimension.
Explains why Mrs Assassin put out the statement she did saying “I” instead of “we” and why Doc hasn’t said anything, his flip phone has no signal in the dimension he’s in.

This isn't a contradiction at all.
These are women with their own autonomy doing what they want.
Most of these people just want sex work and women having fun with their sexuality to not be considered offensive and to be more respected.
And in my experience at least most artists and people who do sex work and are otherwise very sexually open are normally very progressive and left leaning.
I remember when the BLM protests started and anti BLM right wingers were getting mad because a shit ton of artists who do lewd art were all like '' if you're a right winger or don't support BLM, unfollow me ''.
I mean the way that you're referring to them is very disrespectful and the kind of stuff that a lot of progressives are fighting against so you're kinda disproving your own point in a way by your own actions.
The attitude is more that sex is fun and shouldn't be so taboo and that it's no reason to disrespect people.
There are left wingers who are prudes or left wingers who are pro sex work but then hate on sexualized art.
This whole narrative about how '' the left '' hates it and '' the right '' loves it is fucking bullshit and extremely oversimplified, it's basically just people looking at what shitheads like Sarkeesian say and then going '' this is what left wingers think ''.
But Twitch is clearly not leaning into the prudish side.
I think that people severely overestimate how '' woke '' Twitch is too, they don't actually do shit. It's like with this Twitch council people were losing their minds over for example it was all virtue signaling and nothing has actually happened. All Twitch cares about is money and this stuff is just part of branding and marketing.
When companies were coming out in support of BLM people were all like '' okay brand '', people seem'd to understand or shallow it actually is.
But then when it doesn't fit the narrative the brands are suddenly super ultra woke for real.
You can't have it both ways, and the truth is that the '' okay brand '' side is correct. They don't care, it's all about trends and they have no morals.

I can send you my paypal if you are in the tipping mood. When you see ALL of the news outlets showing bias you are probably insane. IE all the news outlets are showing bias that the world is round, then its probably fact that the earth is flat. Do some research bro...
looks staged like everything he does, why cant people just sit tight and wait for official news instead of entertaining other peoples fantasies of his destruction?

That's not happening, and if there are extremely rare examples of it then I am 99.999999999999% sure it's because people are abusing the report system and reporting on mass or the poster did something worse.
A lot of report systems will auto ban someone if they reach a certain threshold ( unless they're verified or something ).
The whole '' all lives matter '' thing isn't really about Conservatives either, and this is just identity politics bullshit.
As opposed to what people on Twitter think, Conservatives aren't all obsessed with identity politics or all have the same opinion.
BLM really isn't that controversial even amongst Conservatives in the US and outside of the US, most people understand the problem and acknowledge it including Conservatives.
Gun control is another good example.
Even the overwhelming majority of NRA members are in favor of stricter gun control laws, and yet if you listened to Twitter or extremist right wingers online you'd think that Conservatives were 110% against it and were all hysterical rednecks who think that '' Obermah is cummen 4 muh guns ''.
It's the same with left wingers too, the overwhelming majority of left wingers are quite level-headed and aren't fucking tankies or sit around on Twitter all day. Social medias only represent the most extreme people, I remember seeing the numbers on this and if all Twitter users were only from the US it'd be like 2% of the country making up for almost all of the tweets or something.

Are your SURE?
Because if there's anything that can get you instantly clipped, more than anything else...............is saying something that actually IS or a woman feels or interprets as derogatory to her or other women in general.

Long live the Doc.
Whatever platform picks him up after this is the only platform I’ll bother with.
Twitch has handled this so poorly it’s pretty disgusting.
