Dr Disrespect #cancelled [split topic]

Fair enough, I've never watched him outside of a few clips, so it's not for me to say.

I don't see how the whole thing is a promo stunt, though. Isn't he threatening to sue Twitch? Can't see that being something they've agreed between them, and if it was a one-sided stunt, and he hadn't actually been kicked off, you assume Twitch would have said so by now. Odd timing too, when there's all the Metoo stuff going on in the gaming world. You wouldn't choose to get associated with that.

I can't see it being a stunt either. Twitch seem to want people to think it's to do with Metoo, but unlike when they kicked other streamers off the platform, they haven't given any details about Doc. There's also someone on twitter claiming to have inside knowledge about the situation who is heavily implying that it's a Metoo thing, but they've also provided no proof and no details.

What's odd is that Doc recently signed a big deal with Twitch, supposedly worth millions. This promo video for instance is only four months old. It could be that Twitch heard about some accusations and so pulled the plug, but why not say so? Or why not suspend him pending a full investigation? It's worth mentioning at this point that Twitch is widely regarded as being run by unprofessional morons, so I'm not ruling out that they heard about Doc trying to sign with another streaming service and vindictively chucked him on the spot.

I just can't understand why anyone would watch someone else playing games. It makes no sense.

They might win a golden joystick.

Games are pretty social, have you not sat with mates whilst playing games like Monkey Island? Tons of fun. And if you also haven't worked it out some streamers have boobs. And some of them are even Women, and some of them wear slightly less clothes than your average person at the shops and play dancing games. There was even one doing nude body painting.

People watch him because he's basically a comedy character and they find him entertaining. Regardless of what he's supposed to have done, maybe we could avoid having the same old tired boomer conversation about streaming for the 17th time on here.

Okay strawman.

Nobody saying he's good, it's just saying it's tedious to go over why streaming appeals to an audience and have to explain it to people who don't actually have any intellectual curiosity in why. They just like saying "cuh what's with this weird thing the young people are into?!"

I'm not saying that. I am saying that it is objectively shit.
