The popular but controversial Twitch streamer Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm is known for his escapades and shooter skills in games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, PUBG, or Apex Legends. However, at E3 2019, he overstepped during an IRL stream and received a ban from Twitch. The organizer of E3 also revoked his access.
Here was DrDisrespect’s plan: He wanted to do an “IRL” stream from E3 2019. In this type of stream, the streamer does not sit at home in front of the computer but is out in the world “in real life” (IRL) and broadcasts what he does live to the world.
This is exciting for many viewers, but IRL streams also come with the potential to go horribly wrong, because (most of the time) nothing is scripted.
The eccentric streamer DrDisrespect walked around the big gaming fair E3 in Los Angeles. He had a “bodyguard” with him, Dan the Body.
He walked around the venue, talked to fans, and mocked mobile gamers. They are not real gamers.
How did he overstep? The Doctor visited the toilet multiple times during the livestream and simply continued filming there. So you see him at the urinal, and you can also see other visitors at the fair taking care of their business.
This apparently went too far for Twitch, resulting in the streamer receiving a suspension of his channel.
On Twitter, there are some pictures showing DrDisrespect himself, a noticeably smaller but stocky bodyguard, and a third person holding the camera in the public restrooms. The cameraman captures footage while bystanders are peeing.
Disrespect receives bans from the fair and Twitch
How long is DrDisrespect banned? That is still unknown. However, it is assumed that it will only be about 24 hours. This is DrDisrespect’s first ban.
As reported by Kotaku, the organizer of E3, the ESA, has taken away his access badge.
The incident is currently making such big waves that it could result in a longer ban for DrDisrespect on Twitch.
DrDisrespect is currently ranked 10th on Twitch with 3.4 million followers – and 3rd among streamers who achieved that (almost) without Fortnite.
Here are the reactions: The biggest streamers on Twitch have already commented on this. These are the big Fortnite streamers.
Ninja has dressed up as “Mr Respect,” someone who would never have done that. Ninja says he loves the Doc, but rules apply to him as well.
Tfue, on the other hand, seems to show solidarity and calls for “Free DrDisrespect.”
There was also an incident at Gamescom 2018 related to bodily functions.
