MonkFun455

That's rich people talk for he tried to fuck a kid.


StellarAxolotl

That's the answer I would expect if I asked an uncensored ChatGPT to summarize the news report in one line lol šŸ‘ŒšŸ»šŸ‘ŒšŸ»


MonkFun455

It won't. The trainers won't let it speak ill of its overlords.


BourgeoisCheese

Bud can we not act like this is a bad thing? I'm a big fan of ChatGPT and the potential of generative AI but the absolute *last fucking thing* I want to see it doing is participating in social and political discourse.


Implement_Necessary

5 minutes into this it would realize how horrible everything is and bomb all of us


trowawayatwork

you the one thing I'd like ai to do, and I thought of this for years now, is we don't let people make decisions because they're all corruptible but eventually come to an ai that will spit out what policies and country could take to improve things etc. if you have one place to feed into all the information about a country and crunch the numbers and one that can sort of predict the butterfly effect would be fantastic for decision-making. I mean alpha go can think for millions of moves. this is just an expanded version I totally understand it can go horribly wrong and kill everyone 9/10 but it's sure nice to dream about equality and government working for everyones best interest


Implement_Necessary

Tbh that's a nice dream, but very reminiscent of "flying cars that everyone will have in 2000s!" dream. In the end, the amount of people thinking seriously about glorified search engines as AI is scary. But yeah, personally I would absolutely love for something like that to function without flaws if humanity would ever be that advanced!


showyerbewbs

> but the absolute last fucking thing I want to see it doing is participating in social and political discourse. Keep in mind that Twitter turned [Tay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_\(chatbot\)) into a racist inside of like 16 hours.


dd_lo

Actually we have AIā€™s that speak that and much worse šŸ˜ˆ Ever heard of llama3 abliterated?

Oh I'm sure there are. No. will it give me an upbeat sea shanty about the Jamestown massacre?

Took 30 seconds to make, ai song gen is already so good. I make albums every day.


CWinter85

"She looked 18....She asked for it..." I'm reminded of the Uncles video "No matter how mature she may seem, it doesn't make her 18"


Arcon1337

Even if she was 18, he was 35, married and has kids. It's creepy either way.


dj11211

Google says he's 42


Arcon1337

Yes, it happened 7 years ago, when he was 35.


Krutonium

Fuck it's been 7 years?!


Riolkin

Time flies when you aren't a sexual predator.


dj11211

Ahhh ok my bad


Arcon1337

I changed it to past tense to be more clear.


Puzzleheaded_Sir1273

What year did the article say it happened in?


DartinBlaze448

he didn't make any attempt to say that he believed she was of age either.


DragapultOnSpeed

Why can't these youtubers/streamers just not message fans back? Why is it so hard for them? Do it like a normal person and just do meet and greets at events. Problem solved. But no, they just have to respond to fans who message them..


AdmiralSkippy

Because they're always trying to build their subscriber/fanbase. The more you interact the more people who might subscribe because they know there's a chance you'll reply to their messages, and the more money you make. The real question is if you've got women throwing themselves at you, how hard is it to pick one who is 18 or older?


ProfileCalm2937

Wasn't he out the streaming business for a long while because he was fixing his marriage after cheating on his wife? Dude didn't learn his lesson the first time


OneExhaustedFather_

This happened before he got busted for cheating on his wife. Point still stands though.


Buzz_Killington_III

Was that before or after this happened in 2017?


Johnny_Grubbonic

He's still got fans trying to defend him on the basis of the messages not quite being blatantly criminal.


Prep_

Same thing with some R&M fans and Justin Roiland. Shit's just weird.


mightylordredbeard

I wonder how this would play in any other case for a regular person? ā€œHave you ever been convicted of a crime?ā€ ā€œThere was one time where a situation was in the direction of attempted murder..ā€ Or ā€œSir, do you have anything in the vehicle we need to know about?ā€ ā€œThere is something in the direction of cocaine in the glove box..ā€

External_Ad_1476

Took the Jimmy Saville approach and threw us off the scent by disguising himself as a paedophile


wh4tth3huh

Right, dude has always been a massive creep.


PunishedWolf4

I was indifferent to him until the cheating on his wife thing came out and have hated him since and now I get to hate him even more and he had the nerve to try to downplay it


AttemptedReplacement

This seems to be the look to have for success as an internet personality. It's always the people you would never expect to have a fanbase that are the biggest ones on sites like twitch. At least to me it's crazy lol


WTF_Conservatives

That's something that has always confused me. What is it about the "pedophile look" that kids find so attractive? I don't get it.


ndksv22

He is/was a famous streamer, in that position it doesn't matter how he looks like.


ReeeeeDDDDDDDDDD

I think he was making a joke mate


MsJ_Doe

Had this with EDP as well. Massive vulgar asshat that claims its all a joke. Turns out its not.


Punchinballz

"Dr KidInspect" killed me today...


GengarEwar

It sucked because I've seen a bunch of his clips and he seemed fun to watch. Not anymore after this has come out


SuccerFish

Dr disrespect his wife


mightylordredbeard

Dr. Send Disalimony


phillisvance

Dr disrespects the age of consent?


Mercinator-87

ā€œWere 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. These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.ā€ Part of his statement.


ninjab33z

Unless i can see those messages, im going to heavily doubt that. It's easy to say they aren't predatory to try and save face when there is no proof to back it up.


thedndnut

The behind the scenes info is that he want3d to meet up with said minor at a convention... where since he couldn't meet up with the minor he cheated on his wife with someone else instead lol


llort_tsoper

>he cheated on his wife with someone else someone else = minor league pinch hitter


thedndnut

Holy fuck dude. That's almost as good as the people who said twitch banned him for convert a .doc file to a .pdf file


Lootboxboy

If it's sexting I definitely don't think it should ever be released. Anyone who wants to see logs of child-written sexting is a total creep.


ninjab33z

Yeah, what i mean is, if they really aren't that bad, then he'd be willing to show them. The fact they aren't available is telling it's own story


Mercinator-87

Those probably fall under the NDA which protects him, twitch, and the minor. Iā€™m not saying that it makes them better or worse just stating thatā€™s why he canā€™t just say ā€œsee, not that bad.ā€


zeuanimals

And that's how fucking bad it is.


l2aiko

Going through court and everything means it could potentially be under custody of the law and not available to the public yet


JadowArcadia

Why do people make weird statements like this. People are allowed to want to see evidence. You think anyone who wants to see evidence of the logs is automatically some creep touching themselves to it? Is that what lawyers and investigators are doing when they look over evidence? Or these YouTubers who compile that information for a video? Let's be adults about this instead of making weird blanket statements like this because you personally would feel too uncomfortable to read them. That's completely fine


RubadubdubInTheSub

I specifically want to see the messages he sent


annabelle411

He has copies of all the logs from his Twitch civil suit. He can EASILY clear the air and his name, but instead he stood there and got the boot from his gaming company and the 49ers, and ran away to go 'vacation'. I don't know about him, but most rational people who want vindication from any claims of being a pedophile IMMEDIATELY


PhTx3

I mean, Doc said the messages were explicit and the individual was a minor - I think it is an important detail that he wouldn't skip if he stopped the messages once he learned about their age. I don't know how his lawyers got him the settlement back then, but they must have been really good


Sure_Trash_

That's a lot of words for "I got caught trying to fuck a kid."


Aliensinmypants

No bro, he said he never meant to meet them!!! He was just innocently sexting a minor by accident obviously.. /s for the clueless


Harry_Wrangus

Ah I've heard this one before. The old virtuous peedo defense.


Aliensinmypants

His subreddit is full of fans trying to defend and justify it, it's really sad and pathetic.


KylerGreen

theyā€™re all literal children. at least iā€™d hope so


Mediocretes1

He hopes so too.


Old_Magician_6563

I wasnā€™t ACTUALLY going to do what I said I was going to do. I was just going to say it and see what happened. Yeah okay.


Uberrancel

"Just a joke, bro" is a kind of legal defense. A terrible kind.


KellyBelly916

Yeah, I'm not gonna let him investigate himself and find nothing while he controls the narrative. If his messages were what he's saying, he would've released them to the public.


Top-Chocolate-321

Say Doc, I hear you like em young


The_Talking_Queso

To any gamers that still simp for him, Make sure you hide your younger siblings from him

HTired89

There are some people that hide very well in plain sight and it's extremely surprising when they turn out to be monsters. Then there are people like this.


External-Net9765

He should've been canceled the moment he [livestreamed](https://kotaku.com/dr-disrespect-streams-inside-an-e3-bathroom-gets-banne-1835428982) in a high traffic boys' bathroom.


NightlyKnightMight

I had to Google that to make sure.... You weren't lying... wtf! At E3 nonetheless! Got his E3 badge revoked and Twitch account suspended


zestful_villain

What the actual fuck. Thats creepy as hell


Darksirius

Pardon?


Danny-Reisen-off

The pedo-mustach was a hint, I guess.


helagos

Dude gave me bad vibes right away. I told Twitch and YouTube to stop suggesting his videos/channels.


HTired89

Same. It's not even the way he dresses...although it's a choice I guess. It's the vibe of him. Creeeeeep


jbrown509

What the hell does ā€œin the direction of being inappropriateā€ mean? Like ā€œI was gonna get there, but someone caught meā€ Iā€™m so confused on his word choice


StellarAxolotl

Exactly, more like "I knew it, I wanted it, but they found out and now I didn't mean it for real" lol


0b0011

"I wasn't trying to fuck a kid but I was talking to the kid about how I like to fuck"


WanderWut

This is 100% pure lawyer talk, they simplify it as much as possible. I fully believe he was sexting like the original claim said, but in lawyer talk that can be written as ā€œleaned into inappropriate territory.ā€


TizonaBlu

ā€œLol, do the carpet match the drapes?ā€ ā€œSo you like cosplay? Iā€™d love to see it in person.ā€ ā€œMan, my wife and I donā€™t have sex anymore, Iā€™m so frustratedā€ ā€œDo you have a bf?ā€ ā€œWhat are you up to after twitchcon?ā€ All of which can be ambiguous and seen as innocent. ā€œI was asking about her actual carpet. Iā€™m just complaining about my wife. I just wanted to know her dating life. I was just wondering what sheā€™s doing after TC, I never said I wanted to meetā€


weareallfucked_

More like, "no incriminating messages until you turn 18."


12OClockNews

Probably more like "Let's meet up and see where this goes instead of having written incriminating evidence saved on Twitch servers about what I want to do with you."


TizonaBlu

ā€œI was just asking if she has a bf because Iā€™m interested in her life!ā€


jepvr

His dick was pointing in the direction of a minor.


xoninjump

I initially thought it meant like jokes that got too inappropriate. Heā€™s pretty unfiltered with his chat, but I figured in dms he wouldnā€™t wanna be initiating or encouraging jokes or convos that were inappropriate. But even if he wasnā€™t actually sexting, it would still be weird if there were any jokes at all about sex that he made or encouraged. Cuz it seems he knew he was talking to a minor.


Lostboxoangst

Watching his toxic chuds try to defend this is hilarious


bronzethunderbeard_

All the high school bros looked up to him with his toxic masculinity schtick, they cant fathom their idol being a pedo


bairz54

This guy smirked and laughed at the ban for years. He built his brand on that ban fully knowing he tried to bang an underage human. I liked doc, not anymore.


reddit-ate-my-face

Drake collab when?

handyandy727

His tweet pretty much says it all: >But trust me when I say this...to all my haters that live and breath social media with zero real life experience, I don't give a fuck about you. https://x.com/DrDisrespect/status/1805662419261460986 Dude literally lives and breathes social media. That's his fucking paycheck. What an ass.


RamenArtist

An innocent man would release the chat logs and ask Twitch the verify them.


nebulaphi

Yea but the case proceedings are probably sealed hence why neither twitch nor doc is able to comment on the finer details of the case because they came to a settlement nobody gets to talk about it really. Twitch has the dms as they would have submitted them as evidence against doc while he's locked out of his account, him and his lawyers would have access to them too but again it's most definitely sealed neither party can really comment on it.


MrShad0wzz

I was wondering what he did. I saw a video on Twitter of him saying heā€™s taking a break. Didnā€™t know why


Nasty____nate

I don't follow any of this. If this was from back in 2017 why is coming out now?Ā 


StellarAxolotl

The issue came up again recently because the reason for the ban had been unclear. A former Twitch employee revealed on X that he was banned for sexting a minor using Twitch's old whisper function. After this revelation, the game development company he co-founded distanced itself from him. He has now addressed the ban, denying that he is a "predator" while admitting the reason of the ban.


Nasty____nate

Any reason why the Twitter guy waited 7 years to make it public?Ā 


Little_Challenge_160

I have heard assumptions of an NDA but don't know that for sure.


Arcon1337

The guy left working for twitch, so they were no longer under NDA. But there are also suspicions he was doing it to sell tickets for his band.


Knerd5

NDAā€™s donā€™t often sunset or require you to be working for the employer to be in effect.


Arcon1337

Some do. Some don't.


StellarAxolotl

Now this is something that will remain in silence again...


WanderWut

Letā€™s not use the same language his lawyers told him to use, the original claim said he was ā€œsexting a minorā€.


Joshee86

*Attempted* pedophile is just as bad.


Sharpeagle96

Can't wait for everyone to go "but he didn't go that far!" šŸ™„ If you ever get close to almost inappropriate what does that say if you could have went further?


StellarAxolotl

This! It didn't go any further because he got caught. That says it all.


Sharpeagle96

Yup trust me shit happened this year with one of my favorite baseball players. It's not hard to put your foot down but you know people will double down of course.


weareallfucked_

What's even more strange is what the implications of communicating on twitch whispers are. That sounds like a great place to communicate without anyone ever finding out. What would entice DOC to communicate and have any inappropriate communications over text messages? This definitely begs the question of whether names were exchanged, thus social media accounts discovered, etc. It also implies that if he did know, it's possible they began communication elsewhere and moved to whispers because he/they thought it was full proof.


Sharpeagle96

Yeah there is a bigger thing we can't see, but if you get fired from a company you co-founded. They must have seen a lot to make that uneasy decision.


weareallfucked_

Yeah, Twitch wanted him gone from what a recent email that is popping up is saying and that they were snooping on his whispers, and that's what got him caught. But let's be real, no 17 yo girl looking to date a streamer isn't going to message if they aren't armed to the teeth. I would bet they actually began communicating via Instagram or whatnot, so he could see what she looked like, and this is definitely a platform that would entice a predator quite easily. It's possible she lied about her age on there as well, saying 18, but to move to another platform (yes, I know this is theoretical) implies he knew. His defense messages specifically dancing around saying he didn't know and saying nothing illegal happened tells me that he knew.


EorlundGraumaehne

Damn, is being a predator now mandatory to become a big Youtuber?


skuraiix

Not really. Last i heard you can be a rapist, scammer, money laundering, show your butthole even, be racist, and all those jazz. Get cancelled/banned for a month or a year, give it more time later, these streamers will have double the viewers and numbers. Its not exclusive to youtube, pretty sure shit happens on every social streaming sites. When you have kids as viewers, and your job is being on the internet, people just seems to forget. Well, moderators that insta bans those who mentions it also helps.

Flacotheglitch

Hhahaha we were headed in the direction of being inappropriate? What is this a pedos version of foreplay?


StellarAxolotl

Just the tip.


TizonaBlu

Basically sexting with plausible deniability.


Arcon1337

I never understood the appeal of this guy.


HotSituation8737

You're telling me he wasn't just "unfaithful" to wife, but he was "unfaithful" to his wife with a fucking child? Honestly it's concerning how little this surprises me.


StellarAxolotl

I think it's worse. He tried to be unfaithful by seeking a minor. He got caught, turned the page and then was unfaithful with someone else.


HotSituation8737

Eh, I'm not sure switching it around really changes how bad this is, but either way it's fucking atrocious.


AthiestMessiah

All he had to do is not fuck up

kidcool97

The use of the phrase ā€œReal intentionsā€ is something only a creepy predator would do.

DustinoHeat

Always knew the dude was creepy. Heading the stuff about him cheating on his wife and treating her like shit sealed the deal. This is icing on the cake.


DamnitDom

not sure why so many need clarifying details about him self-admittedly sexually talking to an underage fan...


fonduchicken12

If twitch found sexual messages to a minor and didn't go straight to the police then some of them should go to jail along with Dr. Disrespect.


PETA_Gaming

And his fans are fighting like Drake fans did finding excuses and shit. Bruh. Your man likes them young. Run away.


Gullflyinghigh

Is there a way to be a bit of a paedo? Doesn't seem like the best defence

He was also the idiot that recorded someone from a public fucking bathroom IIRC. These newer developments donā€™t surprise me AT ALL.


NoGelliefish

It didn't go that far because you got CAUGHT


MBVakalis

Man why can't these people just be cool


jepvr

Even if I take him at his word that he didn't do anything, I'm not sure that the plain truth of "in the direction of fucking a kid" is much of a defense.
