Only a month after admitting to inappropriately messaging a minor on Twitch, getting fired from his personal recreation studio, and saying a hiatus from streaming, Man “Dr Disrespect” Beahm is about prepared to return to enterprise as common.
The disgraced streamer posted on X in the present day for the primary time since June, sharing a picture of himself taking part in chess throughout from an unseen opponent who’s taking part in with checkers items. A not-so-deep interpretation of the put up is that Beahm is following via on his promise that he is “not f***ing going anyplace,” as he said earlier than his self-imposed 36-day hiatus, and that he believes he is a number of strikes forward of his detractors and accusers.
The record of his “opponents” is simply getting longer. Within the time since Beahm’s final assertion, a number of streaming pals have distanced themselves from the Doc. His line of Turtle Seashore peripherals was faraway from sale, the San Francisco 49ers dropped their partnership with him, and Dr Disrespect was even faraway from NBA 2K24 in a patch. Midnight Society, the sport studio he co-founded and was fired from, has scrubbed Beahm’s identify from its official web site and are actually refunding premium cosmetics that referenced his channel.
Whereas, in all probability, Beahm will finally return to his YouTube channel and we are able to all return to ignoring him, he might need a brand new everlasting drawback dealing with his operation. Shortly after confirming the rationale for his Twitch ban and taking a break from streaming, YouTube disabled monetization on his channel.
“We now have suspended monetization on Dr Disrespect’s channel for violating our Creator Accountability coverage,” a YouTube consultant informed PC Gamer in June.
It is unclear if Beahm, who was one of many largest streamers centered on YouTube earlier than his admission, will probably be allowed to gather cash on the platform once more. If not, I can consider one controversial streaming platform which may take him in.
