DocToPdf Disrespect was quietly banned from twitch, and then responded to allegations that he was sexting minors with “age of consent varies between states, what I did wasn’t even illegal and what even is sexting? This is just haters trying to ruin my day”
2017 twitch had a “whispers” product. Sounds like direct messages twitch.
He was sexting a minor. A twitch employee confirmed he was sexting her even after he learned her age. He tried to setup a meetup at twitchcon.
He might be legally pseudo protected by twitch having minimum age requirements. I’m not a lawyer so I don’t know why the company just banned him instead of referring it to the cops. This all could have been secret if he had just kept his mouth shut and not bad mouthed the company with all the deets.

it’s rockstar syndrome, same as always. People who become famous for being good at something start to think of themselves as invincible. Combine that with minors specifically treating the rockstar like they are a god that could do no wrong, and any pedophilic tendencies are gonna worm their way out.
With online celebrities specifically, I think the unique circumstance is that people can go from unknown to world-famous in a relatively short span of time, and they haven’t learned how to conduct themselves in that context in a way that they might if they achieved that fame more slowly. For a recently famous person like that, direct DM access to fans is a dangerous thing.
Look at how they’re willing to act in order to attract millions of 12 year old viewers. You can’t fake act being that stupid and emotional for that many hours pretty much every day unless you’re fucked up in the head.
He was DMing a minor on twitch and there were sexual messages involved. From what I understand Twitch’s law enforcement consultant did not refer it to law enforcement for unknown reasons and they just banned him instead. Probably just creep behavior and nothing technically illegal. Still fucked up, but nothing that would get him arrested. He did not end up meeting with the victim AFAIK.
“Unknown reasons” you immediately followed on with. It simply wasn’t illegal. Most people seem to consider it immoral but the messages have never been released so we don’t even know what was said. If not illegal it’s probably not horrific.
I prefer to reserve my commentary for when the facts are available. Contextually it’s suspicious but ultimately amounts to an unsubstantiated smear campaign until we see the chats or prosecution, of which we have neither.
We have that he was banned from twitch. When somebody bringing in that much money for Twitch, you know what they did was bad. Keep defending a shitass though. I’m sure that’ll go great for you
Corporations hide crimes all the time, even when they are the victims. If the crime will lose them money in any way, either directly or from a reputation hit, it’s very likely a company will not report it.
It only because the employees involved had their NDAs expire and confirmed they saw some very fucked up things that we know what he did.
Twitch fired him publicly when he was one of their biggest streamers. It’s fully possible the explicitly sexual messages are a crime, but the parties involved, including the minor victim, did not want it reported.
You can argue amazon should have reported it anyway if it rose to that level, but with none of the involved parties forcing the issue, it makes sense from a buisness stance not to.
I started with World, and put hundreds of hours into that and Rise, plus their expansions. I tried the GU demo on Switch, but it felt too clunky.
The thing that hooked me was the first large monster you hunt, Great Jagras. He’s a pushover for any hunter with even a slight amount of experience, but for me as a new player, it was an epic battle and I certainly didn’t expect that much intensity that early in the game. I also liked how even after you had a monster on “farm status” a hunt could still easily go from good to bad if you weren’t careful. It emphasized that these monsters were incredibly dangerous, and even seasoned hunters could be in trouble if they get too cocky. It also helped keep farming more interesting as you needed to pay attention if you wanted to be successful.
Overall, I like the… world, in World more, but the gameplay mechanics and combat more in Rise. In World, the maps were larger, with more detail and felt more alive. I also liked the tracking aspect, and was disappointed that aspect didn’t make it to Rise. It felt like you were actually hunting your target, instead of just sprinting to their location on your doggo friend and beating them up like in Rise.
I’m definitely looking forward to Wilds releasing next year.
I liked world most too. It has several things rise is lacking. One of which is a serious threat imo. Like, the first time my party ran into anjanath. It just exploded out of some shrubbery and most of his attacks were insta kill. Just having this random threat helped with the world building, suspense on hunts and also gave a clear milestone when you finally get the hunt to take him down. Then there was blood puppy or bazelgeuse, they are all super memorable because of how much of a passive sorta threat they were.
