MrHofmann Posted July 11 Not a fan of the guy, but this story caught my attention. I think there is more to it than everyone thinks they know. This is his last tweet on the issue: https://x.com/DrDisrespect/status/1805668256088572089 In my opinion Asmongold has the fairest take on the matter: What do you guys think? 0 Share this post Link to post
dasho Posted July 11 Quote Were there twitch whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes. Were there real intentions behind these messages, the answer is absolutely not. "I was just pretending to be a groomer" 4 Share this post Link to post
DSC Posted July 11 I'll sound like an old ass boomer, but I just don't get the popularity behind all these big gaming streamers. They get thousands, even millions of views while acting all full of themselves and generally being unpleasant dicks, and their large fanbases defend them to the bitter end from all the horrible shit they engage into or say, even though said streamers don't know them personally and wouldn't ever give a shit about them. The content can be so fucking shit too, literally just "reacting" to stuff others make, or jumping on the newest drama there is while giving out their crappy misinformed opinions. My respect goes to the smaller streamers that do a far better of entertaining others and without being complete assholes, but I wouldn't mind at all if I never had to hear from people like Disrespect and Asmongold ever again. 23 Share this post Link to post
mrthejoshmon Posted July 11 Another "online personality" outed as a predator, my oh my how absurd, anyone would think they all worked at the BBC... Guy was a douche, now he's just more of a douche. 6 Share this post Link to post

thiccyosh Posted July 11 Ah ffs can't niche Internet celebrities commit other crimes? I wanna see a big streamer rob a bank and do coke in the getaway car (which probably still is within the Twitch TOS, if not then try Kick), at least that's more interesting than having the nth streamer groom minors. Like damn leave them kids alone man Due to reasons, I have to state that this was a morbid joke. I never liked this stupid guy and this is all just really terrible. 9 Share this post Link to post

He was reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. An investigation was conducted and no wrongdoing was found. This is exactly the problem I was trying to point out. Everyone is so eager to throw the man in jail based on hearsay. Like the entire Internet agreed that he is a guilty predator pedophile despite that no charges had been brought against him. I don't get it. 0 Share this post Link to post

MrHofmann Posted July 11 So many people with lack of critical thinking or reading comprehension. 11 minutes ago, mrthejoshmon said: "He didn't do anything" Inappropriately messaged a minor using Twitch DMs, Twitch themselves acted and showed the evidence. Defence given was "well we didn't do anything" ???? Go off I guess. First of all his statement was "leaning towards inappropriate" and "inappropriately" does not necessarily mean sexual content. It could mean anything. 14 minutes ago, Mr. Freeze said: "I haven't been charged with a crime!" - man who is going to be charged with a crime 11 minutes ago, dasho said: Is "Groomer Apologist" the hill to die on?

Mr. Freeze Posted July 11 (edited) Yet. And for the record, "I haven't been charged with a crime" isn't the slam dunk defense his defenders think it is. You can both be legally in the clear and an immoral creep. 7 Share this post Link to post
MrHofmann Posted July 11 Well then it should be innocent until proven guilty. Not the other way around. But that's how the Internet works I guess. 0 Share this post Link to post

First of all his statement was "leaning towards inappropriate" and "inappropriately" does not necessarily mean sexual content. It could mean anything. Let's check out the X post you linked: Quote These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more. Nothing illegal happened, no pictures were shared, no crimes were committed, I never even met the individual. Quote Now, from a moral standpoint I'll absolutely take responsibility. I should have never entertained these conversations to begin with. That's on me. That's on me as an adult, a husband and a father. Quote Now, with all this said, don't get it fucking mistaken, I’ve seen all the remarks and labels being throw around so loosely. Social media is a destruction zone. I'm no fucking predator or pedophile. Yes, I'm sure it wasn't about sexual content. 0 Share this post Link to post

GibFrag Posted July 11 (edited) He didn’t deny anything so he definitely is guilty of talking inappropriately to a minor. There is no defending that unless you’re a sick fuck. 2 Share this post Link to post

You seem to reaaallllly want to turn a blind eye to this. That is correct. But what did he do wrong morally or legally? Texting a minor? Since when is that illegal or morally wrong? As I said "inappropriately" can mean anything. It could mean that he acted like a douche because that is his Dr. Disrespect character. You are filling in missing context as if you know what went on. He was even accused of trying to meet with the minor at TwitchCon. Like Twitch streamers don't communicate and meet with their underaged fans at TwitchCon. 0 Share this post Link to post

D4NUK1 Posted July 11 If what's publically available if information about they stuff, yeah it's, bad. And it's like, it's not necessary to kid to teens the need to be in contact with who are they inspiration or whatever. Even in public celebrity's, they need to draw a line where it's comfort and where it's not, and many of this twitch celebrity's does not draw that line, making they self culprits of many case such as theses or other ways of para social stuff with fans or vice versa. 1 Share this post Link to post

"Filling in the missing context" is also known as "context clues" which are a pretty handy thing to leverage when information isn't explicitly lined out. Humor me for a moment, though, what other behavior would explain having to explicitly make a statement such as "I'm no fucking predator or pedophile."? 2 Share this post Link to post

Right, like your absolute vindication in trying to defend this shit is only giving off vibes that you probably participate in the same conduct. 4 Share this post Link to post
