Dr Disrespect Demands Twitch Unban After New Update

by

As a devoted fan of Dr Disrespect (Guy Beahm), I’ve been closely following his recent efforts to reinstate his channel on Twitch. Back in 2020, an unexpected ban left many of us perplexed. However, fresh details about this ban have surfaced over the past year, revealing that it stemmed from a private conversation Dr Disrespect had with a minor through Twitch’s Whispers service. Despite his assertions that no wrongdoing took place during this exchange, the fallout has led to several fellow streamers and businesses distancing themselves from him.

Now, as he continues to entertain us as “The Doc”, Dr Disrespect is once more urging Twitch to lift this ban and welcome him back to their platform. I, for one, am hopeful that a resolution can be found soon so we can continue enjoying his unique streaming style.

On his personal X account, Beahm expressed agreement with the recent rule adjustments at Twitch, stating they provide streamers with clearer insights into past platform violations. Despite having resolved his prior issue with Twitch, he believes he is entitled to rejoin the site, asserting that his initial ban was unwarranted. He further contended that his 2020 ban from Twitch was solely enacted by an individual employee who unilaterally handled the situation.

As a gamer, I’m still reeling from the fact that things have apparently been ‘sorted’, but Twitch needs to make amends for their blunder of permanently banning Doc’s channel. In my opinion, we shouldn’t have been banned in the first place. The platform should never have allowed a lower-level employee to bypass the entire ban system, which had already established that we didn’t break any rules, due to biased views towards the Doc character. A simple five-minute conversation could have easily clarified that our jokes and banter were always meant in good fun and not intended to be serious. It’s disappointing.

It’s unlikely that Twitch will lift the ban on Dr Disrespect anytime soon, or possibly ever, due to the persistent controversy surrounding him. As a result, YouTube and Rumble have been his primary streaming platforms for the past few months. Interestingly, YouTube initially demonetized Dr Disrespect’s channel following last year’s disclosures, but they changed their stance on this matter at the start of 2025.
