A former Account Director of Strategic Partnerships at Twitch has claimed to reveal the reason behind the ban of popular streamer Dr Disrespect. According to the ex-employee, Dr Disrespect was banned for allegedly attempting to meet a minor at TwitchCon after being caught sexting her through Twitch's whispers product. Dr Disrespect has responded to these allegations, stating that no wrongdoing was acknowledged. The revelations have sparked controversy, with accusations that Twitch, Amazon, and associated journalists, including Slasher, covered up the incident for years, despite having direct access to the incriminating messages.
Three big stories here. 1) a major Twitch star was allegedly soliciting a minor for s*x 2) everyone who knew about it, including journalists and Amazon/Twitch employees covered it up. 3) Amazon/Twitch employees had unfettered plaintext access to confidential text messages https://t.co/zLw4tROCud
So Twitch apparently had direct access to messages proving Dr Disrespect sexted a minor and Slasher had access to credible sources to report on this story But both failed to publicly alert anyone and remained silent for years? https://t.co/qd1W5Lpae3

“No wrongdoing was acknowledged.” Dr Disrespect responds to new Twitch ban allegations from ex-employee that he was banned for trying to meet a minor at TwitchCon https://t.co/FY8QLjXQ4X
This is the former Account Director of Strategic Partnerships at Twitch, claiming to reveal why Doc was banned, at long last. And it’s…yeah https://t.co/7Zswno9bdi
Cody coming out of journalism retirement with the biggest story in gaming of the past few years. I’m so glad we at ESPN never acquiesced to Dr DisRespect’s PR people’s bullshit by giving him a softball interview — where they requested we not ask about it — in summer 2021. https://t.co/3GZtbkWYhg
He got banned because got caught sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product. He was trying to meet up with her at TwitchCon. The powers that be could read in plain text. Case closed, gang.
