TL;DR
  • Twitch reportedly turned Dr Disrespect over to NCMEC for alleged inappropriate messages with minors.
  • The revelation raises questions about Dr Disrespect's conduct and Twitch's handling of the situation.
  • Fans wonder why no immediate actions were taken after the chat messages were investigated.

According to respected gaming journalist Rod “Slasher”, Twitch reportedly turned Dr Disrespect over to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) for alleged inappropriate messages with minors. Slasher’s statement follows the recent exposure of Dr Disrespect for engaging in sexting with a 17-year-old girl last year.

The recent development about the streamer’s ban is causing concerns about Dr Disrespect’s reactions and how Twitch is dealing with it. According to Slasher’s statement during a recent Kick stream, the platform reported the popular streamer to NCMEC over explicit messages with a minor.

This raised speculation in the streaming community as it brings an additional dimension to the case. Some argue that, if true, these allegations point to severe misconduct by Dr Disrespect. Twitch took precautions to legally protect themselves in case the allegations were made public.

Yet the questions remains why the company would choose to settle with Dr Disrespect if such serious allegations were on the table. After all, the NCMEC did not see a need to prosecute the 42-year-old streamer.

Twitch’s decision to report one of its most profitable content creators to NCMEC suggests the severity of the situation. As an Electronic Service Provider (ESP), Twitch is legally obligated to report instances of child exploitation.

However, this has led to further questions about how Twitch monitors private messages and whether any privacy breaches occurred. Dr Disrespect’s most loyal fans even argue that Twitch themselves could have baited the streamer. This is nothing but a conspiracy at this point.

Perhaps Twitch’s actions indicate the gravity of Dr Disrespect’s alleged misconduct. It’s also possible that Twitch may have simply been trying to protect its own image by keeping the details under wraps. The Twitch and Dr Disrespect settlement has fueled speculation about an NDA. The exact truth behind the story may remain unknown to the public.

This scandal could have serious consequences for Twitch’s reputation as the story develops. The consequences for the Doc’s career have already started to unfold. YouTube has stopped monetizing his channel last week. We might witness the beginning of the end of the Doc’s career.
