Dr. Disrespect was banned from the livestreaming platform back in June 2019 for broadcasting from a public washroom at E3. The ban only lasted two weeks and saw a dissentious response from the Twitch neighborhood.
According to esports press reporter Rod Breslau, Dr. Disrepsects restriction is not connected to a DMCA procedure, and remains in reality a long-term ban, instead of a short-lived one. Twitch is likewise providing refunds to those who had subscribed to his channel and his emotes are no longer on the website.
High-profile Twitch banner Herschel “Guy” Beahm IV (much better known as Dr. Disrespect) has been banned from the livestreaming platform yet again. And this time, it might be long-term, rather than a temporary matter including a DMCA. The information of the controversy stay mostly a mystery, though it sounds like it might be far bigger than anything Beahm has actually faced in the past.
Its unclear precisely why or for how long Dr. Disrespect will be prohibited. Dr. Disrespect has actually not stated anything publicly about the situation, and looking for his Twitch account pulls no outcomes. Jerk itself has provided no specific description for the relocation, although some have hypothesized that it might be the result of a DMCA takedown (of which there has actually been a flurry current), which might just lead to a temporary ban.
Weve connected to Twitch for remark, but were provided the exact same generic declaration Twitch already provided the broader community: “As is our procedure, we take suitable action when we have evidence that a streamer has actually acted in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. These use to all streamers no matter status or prominence in the neighborhood.”

This ban comes not long after Twitch removed numerous other prominent banners for supposed sexual assault and harassment, including IamSp00n, BlessRNG, DreadedCone, and others. Earlier this week, Twitch stated it would be releasing irreversible suspensions following its investigation into these accusations. The accusations resulted in a Twitch blackout, with banners staying off the platform for a day to encourage the streaming service to take action versus abusers.
In associated news, two Ubisoft executives were suspended as the business continues its internal examination into recent misbehavior accusations. A day prior, Ubisoft launched a declaration about these claims and its reaction to them, stating its commitment to “taking any and all proper disciplinary action” if necessary.
