In Valorant, the notorious streamer DrDisrespect misled viewers with false promises of Twitch Drops. He has now released a statement, but there is no mention of contrition.
What did DrDisrespect do? The Twitch streamer and entertainer DrDisrespect recently stated in his stream that there were Twitch Drops for the popular new team shooter Valorant. However, this was not the case. The Doc was not among the streamers who were given Twitch Drops for Beta access to Valorant by the developer Riot Games.
In order to participate in the game’s beta, you must receive access via a Twitch Drop, which so far has only happened if you watched one of the officially privileged streamers on Twitch.
So the Doc lied and deceived his viewers with false facts. This caused some trouble. LoL interviewer Travis Gafford spoke out via Twitter and called the Doc’s actions “fraudulent”. The Doc indeed gained additional viewers and also banned all the people from the chat who pointed out the absence of the Drops.
This is how DrDisrespect reacts to the allegations
What happened next? The Doc was unfazed by it all. In response to Travis Gafford’s allegations, he called him a “little snitch”. And to top it all off, he has now released a video where he officially addresses the issue.
To everyone who is upset with his actions, he issued the following words:
I would like to give an official statement. [long pause] I couldn’t care less! Look here, you are standing before the best in the business, baby! Do you really think I care?
As further provocation, he then called his stream “Drops!Drops!Drops!” and promoted it with the words: “Drops upon Drops! And drops! Just come in!”
Why is the Doc doing this? Those who have been watching DrDisrespect for a while know that his behavior is part of his show. The Doctor is a character with sunglasses, a mustache, and a mullet, portrayed by former game designer Guy Beahm.
The Doc is a parody of various villains and rogues, embodying the following traits and emotions:
- Bullying behavior
- Arrogance
- Outbursts of anger
- Mockery and scorn
Thus, the statement should also be seen as ironic, being yet another obnoxious action of the disrespectful and arrogant DrDisrespect, who doesn’t care about the criticism from his “enemies” and mocks their outrage.
However, the Doc can also be serious. In one stream, he suddenly became serious and granted insights into a dark personal crisis he had after leaving Call of Duty.
That’s why the Doc is suddenly right: Ironically, the Doc is now indeed correct when he brags about Twitch Drops in his stream. Because Riot Games changed the rules for awarding Twitch Drops with the Beta keys.
From now on, all Valorant streamers can distribute the coveted Twitch Drops.
