Pikachu Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 https://variety.com/2019/gaming/news/twitch-allegedly-bans-dr-disrespect-after-he-livestreams-from-an-e3-bathroom-1203240351/ Quote Popular video-game streamer Guy “Dr. DisRespect” Beahm has allegedly been banned — or at least suspended — from Twitch for broadcasting live inside a public bathroom at E3. Esports analyst Rod Breslau broke the news in a tweet on Tuesday. Many conventions have strict anti-harassment policies, for obvious reasons. But online platforms like Twitch often make decisions like this on a case-by-case basis due to the frontier nature of the changing mixed-reality landscape. “Doc’s channel got banned,” Jessica Blevins, manager (and wife) of well-known Twitch personality Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, tweeted without context. “Obviously saw that coming.” California Penal Code Section 647(j)(3) prohibits the “[use of] a concealed 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.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 What an idiot. Shouldn't expect much from a streamer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodimus Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I expect a short ban and tons of free press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 He might be Banned from E3 as well. Maybe for life. And, TBF to the Doc, this was his first ever IRL stream, but it is just plain weird to film in a bathroom. The thing he has to worry about the most is the law that he broke.

johnny Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I wonder how much money he makes twitch. If I was in charge I’d ban him for life for being a bitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Have any of you seen the internet? There is much much more worse stuff than this out there. I don’t see what all the fuss is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t have to be contrarian on this one. “I don’t see what the big deal about a grown man playing a character video taping people in the bathroom without their consent,” is probably not the hill you wanna die on.

Keyser_Soze Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 They touched on this on the beastcast a couple weeks ago. A problem could arise if this guy broadcasts a kid in the bathroom and he’s got a restraining order or something against his father who sees him there and then he knows where to find the kid, that was the gist of it anyway among other things.

DarkStar189 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Let's not forget, this dude is practically pushing 40 years old (he is 37), and was recording in a public restroom. Not much farther you need to go then that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodimus Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Streaming in public restrooms is a very bad idea. How long is the ban for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You don't get it. This is his entire shtick. It's not about defending him. This is how he gets attention and makes money. He won't give a fuck if he broke the law, people break laws all the goddamn time. If he's making that money and bringing in viewership and outrage clicks, that's good enough for him. If people want him to "learn a lesson," they need to stop giving this kind of thing non-legal attention. But hey, far be it from us to have a day without some dumbass internet bullshit to be outraged over. Not like there's anything else going on that's more pressing. But he's the one who must learn a lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this really isn’t that big of a deal tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkness35 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 @Biggie Really dude? Also, Twitch won't (completely) ban him. He provides too much passive revenue to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Steamer popularity is fickle enough that if Twitch banned him, nobody would care after a couple of days and there would be no impact to Twitch’s financials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkness35 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Fickle enough that when the first time he exiled himself on stream and returned, he had about 380k viewers, and then coming back from this ban he had 80k concurrent views. Considering how buying subs/bits directly gives profits to Twitch and then the streamer, you'd be surprised at how much profit that nets. This isn't just some no-namer streamer that goes to stream on hitbox or w/e the alternative was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
