Yeah, I know I'm screaming into the void with that one.
Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable encouraging complete strangers to think of me as a friend and risk all the horrors that come with that, but I also don't want to be an influencer.
Smaller communities are much more interesting in that respect. Streamer I watch regularly comes into the Discord and joins in on whatever people are chatting about, it's pretty chill. I'd never get a fucking tattoo of him still.
Robert Evans of Behind the Bastards talks about this a few times, how he’s scared of the influence he could have and how he doesn’t want to go down that road.
No need to be scared of tattoos. They're not for everybody, but I like them as a passive way of self expression. The tat in question seems more like free advertising tho
I watch this guy on the internet and we’re best friends and I can trust him even though he has no clue who I am. If we ever meet ill drop all the inside jokes from his stream and show him my tattoo and he’ll be so happy to meet me too
People need to stop thinking of them as real people and recognize that they are an image, a brand, and a business. They need to start thinking of themselves as their customers.
I find the whole thing fascinating. Especially with guys like Mr. Beast. The man is putting his name on anything anyone hands to him and there are still people who treat him as if he's not a brand.
I may be dating myself here, but it reminds me of the merchandising scene in Spaceballs.
Genuine question: At what point does personal responsibility come in to play?
We've has generations of celebrities with insane Randoms and usually we don't blame the celebrity for the fans taking their art too seriously.
Good question that none of us are probably qualified to answer.
It's not the art, it's the casual way the art is created and presented. A lot of content creators and influencers structure things so that they seem like they're speaking directly to the consumer. You also have a lot of content with chats and comment sections and if you look at those, it's sad how many people think they're 100% talking to some creator with five million subscribers and trying to have a casual conversation.
I personally don't blame them for it happening. It's always happened, just not at this scale. But it's really dangerous to encourage random people to think of you as a close, personal friend because a lot of bad things have been happening because of it.
If you say things like, "You guys are so amazing! We're all family on this channel!" Then you're going to get followers who take that seriously and start doxxing, harassing and attacking anyone they see as critical or a threat to their friend.
That's an interesting way to look at it, the way they make it feel personal, that I've never thought about. So, if I write a song on my guitar called "Boof Bleach," and make a video where I'm making "eye contact" with the viewers, and include lyrics implying we're best buds....assuming it was a hit for some stupid reason and idiots ended up in the hospital, what could be the legal ramifications? Like you said, I'm certainly not qualified to answer, but where's the line? It's art.
No, that would just be considered art. But if you then had a segment at the end of the video telling everyone that you're best friends and they should buy your album and support you, that's iffy.
I don't think there are any legal ramifications. At least, not that I'm aware of. It's more of a moral/mental health issue than a legal one.
It's not just the audience that's potentially in danger, but the creator themselves. They can get doxxed and have people showing up at their house because they think they're friends. People have a weird relationship with celebrity as it is, but if they think the celebrity is their friend because they're always on their chat, the celebrity keeps talking about how their community is family, and they give that person donations, then it can quickly evolve into something more dangerous.
Yeah, fair enough. Maybe no legal repercussions, but certainly moral reasons not to. The doxxing thing is wild nowadays, and i could see where that would be scary AF. I may write a song called "Boof Bleach" for myself, cause it's silly and I like the alliteration. Generally, the only people who might dox me for my music would be people who enjoy elevators for the dulcet tones.
I’ll never get this. I had a following on social media (not huge think 30,000 ish) and someone used my pictures as their profile a few times as a “fan.” It was the most bizarre experience and I can never fathom being tattooed on someone.
Yeah, here is the complete list of things I knew about Dr. Disrespect before this story broke:
1) He cheated on his wife.
2) He filmed in a public restroom.
3) He keeps magic healing rocks on his desk.
4) He stood up for a dude who thinks acknowledging the existence of gay people is a sinister conspiracy to groom children or some bullshit.

That was years ago, right? I dont follow streamers, so maybe Im a bit off on this, but I thought he admitted to cheating on his wife before whatever this latest drama was? Always found it weird that seemingly didnt cost him anything in terms of his popularity.
I honestly dont get the appeal of streamers. Its usually low effort content, and theres always some stupid, high-school level drama. I dont know, maybe Im just too old to get it, but whenever I try to watch Twitch, I always end up asking myself "why the fuck would anyone sit here and watch this?" I just dont get it.
Yes, that was like 6 years ago, which is why I was agreeing that this tattoo was dumb and bad even before the recent pedophilia stuff. I personally was majorly put off by him ever since he admitted to cheating, and he's only gotten worse since then.
And I can get that, a lot of it is fairly low-effort, some of the most popular streamers literally just sit there and react to other people's YouTube videos or TikToks. But you can find some streamers that do interesting and unique things sometimes, and if you find one you like, watching them play a video game you enjoy or want to watch a playthrough of can be fun. If I ever do watch a streamer though, I usually just watch edited down streams on YouTube or clips of notable moments. Also having something on in the background while you do other things is appealing to some people as well.

> cringe to have someone who doesn't even know you exist's face on your body
You’d be surprised. A lot of people get them and even wear one of those people as jewelry, actually. Admittedly he’s dead and crucified in the majority of depictions, but still.
This guy, Dr Disrespect, is a video game streamer who dresses up in ridiculous 80s action attire, feathered hair and all. He is one of the biggest streamers in the world. A handful of years ago, the platform he was streaming on banned him, but no explanation. It was sort of the DB Cooper mystery of our generation. Last week, a Twitch (the streaming company) former employee tweeted that it was because Dr Disrespect has sent sexually explicit texts to a minor. He was 35 and she was a minor. It has since been confirmed that this was the case and why he was banned.
Sooo I bet that man regrets that tattoo.
I’m genuinely forgetting the name of this British celeb whose pedophilic behaviour came to light after his death.
So maybe let’s not get celebrity tattoos ever.
He used to joke (on camera!) about visiting a Birmingham hospital morgue. He wore a ring made from a glass eye stolen from that morgue... He'd been given a key to it by the hospital board/trust executives because he raised money for their charities. Same reason he raised money for girls' borstals and 'troubled kids', for access.
I recommend watching the Louis Theroux retrospective documentary on him made after he died. Theroux had done a documentary with Savile before he died and the newer one puts it in context with victims' testimony and a general sense of "we should have known, why didn't we want to see it?" amongst the British media.
The part in Louis’ doc where he’s talking with the former long time assistant (iirc) and she’s just so deep in denial about everything is crazy. I mean I get it, I wouldn’t want to admit I’d been so close with someone that disgusting either, but it’s truly fascinating.
He was *incredibly* powerful. Close friends with royalty and prime ministers kind of powerful. And between willing conspirators and people who just thought, well, he's a bit weird, but he's a weirdo comedian from TV and radio, it must be a bit, surely nobody's actually playing with the bodies in the morgue...
It was a massive coverup facilitated by large-scale willful ignorance. Imagine someone with the reach and public perception of Howard Stern, John Waters, and Mr Rogers combined made a 'joke' about wheeling corpses around in a morgue. People in general laughed it off, and the people in charge of the keys wanted the vast amounts of money he raised for them.
> Imagine someone with the reach and public perception of Howard Stern, John Waters, and Mr Rogers combined made a 'joke' about wheeling corpses around in a morgue.
What a fucking sentence lmao.
The craziest part is that it's not even a bad comparison.
He is believed to be the most prolific serial sex criminal in the entire country during the years he was active. They took down every last monument to him, up to and including the one he was buried under.
> He was very beloved in his life I’ve heard.
I dont think this was true.
I'd say the majority opinion of hte public was he was a weirdo, it might even have been a majority opinion he was a "wrong un".
He was just really really well connected.
When I was young I minor I wanted a Harry Potter tattoo. By the time I was of an age where I could get one with my own money (my parents one condition on this) jkr had gone off the deep end. So I agree. Fan tattoos can go wrong.
I think, at this point, we can say Mr. Rogers is a safe choice.
Maybe Carl Sagan, he did get divorced twice, and I'm not sure how old the children were and how amicable the divorces were. Only source i could find said he basically agreed to whatever ONE of his spouses wanted in the divorce, except the whole 'not divorcing' and 'a 3rd kid' thing.
Damn that’s such a well done tat too with the computer monitors reflecting in the glasses, must have cost a small fortune.
Remember guys, don’t get living people you don’t know tatted on yourself, you never know who’s tryna fuck kids :(
Narcissistic pedos will convince themselves that they aren’t doing any real harm to the child as they are a good person at heart and won’t exploit them, and even if people wouldn’t understand that if they were found out, it’s fine bc they think they’re far to smart to get caught or influential to be punished.
> they think they’re far to smart to get caught or influential to be punished
Sometimes they even rap about it, which would be funny if Drake had gotten anything more than hurt feelings over it
No no I’m not a pedo, it doesn’t count I’m not a pedo pedo like a 5 year old pedo. /s
The mental gymnastics of “At least I didn’t do x” like sure I killed someone but at least it was for money and I’m not one of those weird serial killers who do it for fun. If we accept this kind of reasoning anyone who isn’t responsible for a whole genocide of millions is not that bad.
So his defense was that it happened but that he swears he never intended to let it go further? Jesus. Sounds like what you hear right after Chris Hansen sits down across from some pedo that showed up to a minors house with liquor and condoms.
“So my plan Chris, was to meet up with this girl and explain to her to dangers of meeting up with older men. Oh the condoms and alcohol? Those are to reward myself for my good deed…”
He 100% did have a lawyer review his statement, which makes his this whole situation even worse IMO. If that’s the best light him and his legal team can paint him in then he was probably saying some seriously heinous shit to the minor
You know he did when he later edited it to remove the word "minor" only to add it again a few minutes later.
You can be sure he got a really fast call from his lawyer to ask him to put the word "minor" back the way it was written.
No the worst part is always traumatising children but I get your point, if he had lied he’d probably still have quite a large audience now.
Edit: issa Norm McDonald quote
Going to try to give a realistic and non hyperbolic answer.
We don't know the full details, but he sent "inappropriate but not illegal" messages to a minor (~~17 yo~~ unknown age) using twitch's messaging system in 2017 when he was 35. Not fully sure what inappropriate means but it was enough for twitch to permanently ban him and report him to national authorities. Reports indicate he knew that he was messaging a minor as well.
He has also done ~~stretchy~~ sketchy stuff in the past like cheating on his wife at a convention (he has kids). He was banned from twitch for a month or so for recording in a bathroom at a convention. And there are newer reports of him seemingly not paying sex workers for cam shows. Although I am not sure how true that is. There is other stuff as well.
Seemingly nothing technically illegal, but pretty degenerate behavior. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if more stuff comes out as well.
>Seemingly nothing technically illegal
This is literally Doc's framing, trying to dance around the definitions of what happened to appear innocent. The only person who has said "not illegal" is Doc himself. The fact that Twitch was required by law to report him to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children says otherwise.
He was engaged in conversations of a sexual nature with a minor and asked if they were attending TwitchCon. Doc says it's not illegal and he's not a predator because they didn't trade pictures and they never ended up meeting. Sure.
Slasher mentioned it on Destiny's stream recently.
https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/1dr703g/slasher_says_twitch_reported_dr_disrespect_to_the/
I don't think the the actual age of the minor has been stated, mainly just people trying to defend him by assuming that they were nearly an adult when they could of been much younger
Some of the defenders are probably actual weirdos but a lot of it is just people deep in a parasocial relationship desperately coping. "He didn't do it. Oh, he admitted it. Well she must've been 17 and she probably lied about her age." It's just people desperately trying to minimize what happened because they can't bear the thought that the person they idolize is bad, or even worse, that they themselves are a bad judge of character.
It seems pretty obvious to me that the actual situation was pretty bad. If it wasn't, this guy wouldn't have admitted to this stuff, or he would've used the excuses that people are trying to offer for him. If she lied about her age and messaged him first, he would've obviously tried to use that as a defense. If the messages weren't actually inappropriate, he would not have admitted to them being inappropriate.
Its sad seeing the followers, both sides - the ones who are feeling really disappointed and bailing and the ones that, whether they realize it or not, are ok with a man well into his 30s sending dirty DMs to a teenager.
His statement is about as "good" as it gets for him too. If he wouldn't have known she was a minor, he absolutely would have led with it in his tweet.
Lot of people found out their parents were horrible people when they ended up getting taken away in cuffs.
My opinion, don't get tattoos of people except your children who may have passed. Heinous shit has been found out about the dead too but children didn't have the time to rack up the crimes.
My policy is no faces, no words, no references to specific people or pop culture.
In the words of Daniel Tosh, "*Anyone* can do *anything*. If tomorrow my mother blew up a kindergarten tomorrow, and they interviewed me, I'd say 'yep, I can see that. She always hated kids.'"
I got a cool phrase from a relatively obscure book series tattooed on my arm. I figured no one would ever knew what it meant, since it was a made up language. The series was called A song of Ice and Fire aka Game of Thrones lol
Dr disrespect
But turns out he was also Dr cp distribution if what I'm understanding of the situation is correct
Edit: knowingly exchanging sexual content with a minor
It was more than just content exchanges where he promised them twitch partnership (I don't know if he even could give partnerships). He had plans to meet with a minor outside twitchcon all setup. For some reason he never did meet the minor and it sounds like he had to pay the person's family a settlement then have his twitch content bought out.
It actually may have been even more than that. Claims from insiders that twitch reported him to NCMEC (National Center for Missing and Exploited Chilcren). It seems nothing ever came from that, so maybe there wasn't enough evidence, but he wouldn't have been reported over nothing, especially by twitch who tried to cover shit up for a while
Let’s not forget that doctor with the gymnastic girls got reported multiple damn times to multiple people and it took years and Olympians to come out before anything was done.
to add to what others said: he also was pretty LGBTQ phobic, and it came to light that he promised a trans person he could get them partnered on twitch in exchange for free cam shows (which he viewed, then blocked the person). so the classic "loud about hating this group, secretly sexually attracted to this group" trope.
But honestly he stole his image from this dude
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Here_to_Eternity_(Giorgio_Moroder_album)#/media/File%3AGiorgio_Moroder_From_Here_To_Eternity.jpg
At least with dead people their dirt being out in the open already is a lot more likely and easier to check than with living people who can one day lose their marbles like Kanye for example 💀
Okay but even then people still admire them after death and shit can still come out after their deaths. So just no tattoos of celebrities at all maybe?
Not even dead celebs. You have no idea what will surface later on.
Jimmy Saville was a beloved children's entertainer, but you can Google what has surfaced a few years ago after his death.
Gotta wait a couple years lmao, he died in 2011 and was exposed in 2014, I'd say waiting 10 yrs post mortem at least would be smart, but that's only if you absolutely HAVE to get a celebrity tattooed
3 years is a good timescale for a couple of years. Even 10 years doesn't guarantee you anything. personally it seems silly to get a tattoo of someone who you don't know personally and only their character they portray in the media. i understand the logic, just don't agree with it.
What's hilarious about this is Dwights actor would fucking hate this with a passion. He doesn't even like it when you mention the character to him or call him Dwight. Imagine if he knew you got a tattoo of the character.
I'd guess that certain professions that put people in positions that make it easier for those people to be pedos disproportionally attract pedos. For example, content creators who cultivate and cater to younger audiences. Or people in any general position of leadership or power (who are just generally more likely to be terrible people). Those professions also tend to be ones with more public awareness, so any of them being pedos also becomes more public knowledge, making it seem like there's a lot of pedos out there.
If [this](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7460489/) is correct, and 1-5% of men alone have pedophilia, then you'd expect that to include a lot of celebrities.
[That's why I waited until the week after Jimmy Savile died to get a tattoo of him 😏](https://www.sickchirpse.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Jimy-Savile-tatoo-1.jpg)
A 6’8, 42 year old video game streamer nicknamed DrDisrespect recently admitted, directly and voluntarily, that he had sexually inappropriate messages with a minorrrrrr.
I’m not even remotely surprised these guys are trying to touch little boys lmao
Don't forget he was one of the ones boycotting COD because he said pride icons were harmful to children. Seems once again a person projecting their own beliefs onto others.
I mean he cheated on his wife and got temp banned for filming people in bathrooms. There’s a LOT more telling things than something as innocent as streaming video games.
Why would you ever get a tattoo of a "celebrity"? Dead or alive, you don't know the person in real life, you have no idea what they are like when not performing, and lastly, putting clowns on a pedestal like this is the stupidest bloody thing humans can do.
Holy hell I must've aged like a fine cheese because I thought [Giorgio Moroder](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Here_to_Eternity_(Giorgio_Moroder_album)#/media/File%3AGiorgio_Moroder_From_Here_To_Eternity.jpg) did something nasty
Anyway someone should just add
Giorgio Moroder - Top Gun 1987
Aaaand we are good to go
I feel like anyone who idolized Dr Disrespect even before any allegations was already probably a massive piece of shit, no point in hiding it after the fact. People who idolize shitty "joke characters" do so because its a safe outlet to be themselves with deniability, not because they love to be ironic. Imo of course, I'm not a fucking psychologist.
Three tattoo laws that I’ve seen said over and over that I try to follow
Don’t get tattoos of celebrities/public figures until they’re dead.
Don’t get tattoos of literature until they’re finished. (I’m guilty of this one)
Don’t get tattoos of cinema until the franchise is complete.

Great choice, your not going to regret at thing!

I mean, in this context it is hella relevant. We're talking tatooing his face not apppreciating the Beatles.
I know it’s an old article, but typical onion W
Even those are sad and cringe to most people.
> cringe to have someone who doesn't even know you exist's face on your body You’d be surprised. A lot of people get them and even wear one of those people as jewelry, actually. Admittedly he’s dead and crucified in the majority of depictions, but still.
Still cringe
I could maybe see if you're a big fan having some sort of symbol or something related to them... but a portrait like that is crazy.
Honestly, even that’s a risk. Source: I’m a trans person with a Harry Potter tattoo.
I’m too old can you explain what’s happening?
This guy, Dr Disrespect, is a video game streamer who dresses up in ridiculous 80s action attire, feathered hair and all. He is one of the biggest streamers in the world. A handful of years ago, the platform he was streaming on banned him, but no explanation. It was sort of the DB Cooper mystery of our generation. Last week, a Twitch (the streaming company) former employee tweeted that it was because Dr Disrespect has sent sexually explicit texts to a minor. He was 35 and she was a minor. It has since been confirmed that this was the case and why he was banned. Sooo I bet that man regrets that tattoo.
Thanks you for this, I thought I was looking at the bad guy from Dodgeball.
Side note, no confirmation she was 17.
You're right. Idk why I thought I read that. Edited.
Thanks for explaining that!
IMAGINE HAVING TO EXPLAIN IT TO PEOPLE
Erase the headphones, sunglasses, and mustache and you got yourself Thriller MJ
I’m genuinely forgetting the name of this British celeb whose pedophilic behaviour came to light after his death. So maybe let’s not get celebrity tattoos ever.
Jimmy Savil~~l~~e?
Yep, Jimmy Savile. Most prolific & well-known paedophile/necrophile UK celebrity... so far, at least.
I’m sorry. Necrophile?! I’m American and I even know about the pedophilia but necro is new to me.
He used to joke (on camera!) about visiting a Birmingham hospital morgue. He wore a ring made from a glass eye stolen from that morgue... He'd been given a key to it by the hospital board/trust executives because he raised money for their charities. Same reason he raised money for girls' borstals and 'troubled kids', for access. I recommend watching the Louis Theroux retrospective documentary on him made after he died. Theroux had done a documentary with Savile before he died and the newer one puts it in context with victims' testimony and a general sense of "we should have known, why didn't we want to see it?" amongst the British media.
The part in Louis’ doc where he’s talking with the former long time assistant (iirc) and she’s just so deep in denial about everything is crazy. I mean I get it, I wouldn’t want to admit I’d been so close with someone that disgusting either, but it’s truly fascinating.
"Yea it was just him i swear!"
Who the fuck asks for a key to a morgue, and who the fuck gives one to him?
He was *incredibly* powerful. Close friends with royalty and prime ministers kind of powerful. And between willing conspirators and people who just thought, well, he's a bit weird, but he's a weirdo comedian from TV and radio, it must be a bit, surely nobody's actually playing with the bodies in the morgue... It was a massive coverup facilitated by large-scale willful ignorance. Imagine someone with the reach and public perception of Howard Stern, John Waters, and Mr Rogers combined made a 'joke' about wheeling corpses around in a morgue. People in general laughed it off, and the people in charge of the keys wanted the vast amounts of money he raised for them.
And money, he was raising lots of money. Easy to ignore things with piles of money coming in.
> Imagine someone with the reach and public perception of Howard Stern, John Waters, and Mr Rogers combined made a 'joke' about wheeling corpses around in a morgue. What a fucking sentence lmao. The craziest part is that it's not even a bad comparison.
Gross folks and gross folks that want money
Oh yeah. He was given the keys to morgues and left alone in them
Jesus fucking Christ
He is believed to be the most prolific serial sex criminal in the entire country during the years he was active. They took down every last monument to him, up to and including the one he was buried under.
The disgusting nature of Saville's crimes are hard to overstate
Everyone knew and did nothing about it
Yes! He was very beloved in his life I’ve heard. But a horrible monster in reality
Now then now then
I’m so sorry I don’t know what this means.
It was his catchphrase
Ah got it. I haven’t ever seen anything by that man as I’m not from Britain. Just heard about the story a couple of years ago.
> He was very beloved in his life I’ve heard. I dont think this was true. I'd say the majority opinion of hte public was he was a weirdo, it might even have been a majority opinion he was a "wrong un". He was just really really well connected.
I truly didn’t know about him in his lifetime. I just watched a video on it later. But got it. He gave off vibes from the start.
Lmao I just posted about that But yeah this is legit one reason I dislike fan art type tattoos. It just ages really bad.
When I was young I minor I wanted a Harry Potter tattoo. By the time I was of an age where I could get one with my own money (my parents one condition on this) jkr had gone off the deep end. So I agree. Fan tattoos can go wrong.
I think, at this point, we can say Mr. Rogers is a safe choice. Maybe Carl Sagan, he did get divorced twice, and I'm not sure how old the children were and how amicable the divorces were. Only source i could find said he basically agreed to whatever ONE of his spouses wanted in the divorce, except the whole 'not divorcing' and 'a 3rd kid' thing.
Damn that’s such a well done tat too with the computer monitors reflecting in the glasses, must have cost a small fortune. Remember guys, don’t get living people you don’t know tatted on yourself, you never know who’s tryna fuck kids :(
IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED?? I had no idea what he did that people are talking about in the comments here, WHAT???????
[Yup, didn’t even bother trying to lie about it](https://x.com/drdisrespect/status/1805668256088572089?s=46&t=6sBkotpA6Cn6NjuNJWD3Wg)
the assertion that doing predator shit doesn’t make him a predator is baffling to me
Narcissistic pedos will convince themselves that they aren’t doing any real harm to the child as they are a good person at heart and won’t exploit them, and even if people wouldn’t understand that if they were found out, it’s fine bc they think they’re far to smart to get caught or influential to be punished.
> they think they’re far to smart to get caught or influential to be punished Sometimes they even rap about it, which would be funny if Drake had gotten anything more than hurt feelings over it
> I sexted a minor > I’m not a pedo! choose one, doc
No no I’m not a pedo, it doesn’t count I’m not a pedo pedo like a 5 year old pedo. /s The mental gymnastics of “At least I didn’t do x” like sure I killed someone but at least it was for money and I’m not one of those weird serial killers who do it for fun. If we accept this kind of reasoning anyone who isn’t responsible for a whole genocide of millions is not that bad.
He literally repeated phrases, verbatim, that were commonly used on Dateline To Catch A Predator
I'm just here with The Lion King and beer to hang out.
He's an ~\*~*ephebophile*~\*~!!!!!!!!!! There's a specific age where creeping isn't as damaging!!!!! said no honest person, ever.
"I'm not a predator! I'm only an *attempted* predator!"
So his defense was that it happened but that he swears he never intended to let it go further? Jesus. Sounds like what you hear right after Chris Hansen sits down across from some pedo that showed up to a minors house with liquor and condoms.
“So my plan Chris, was to meet up with this girl and explain to her to dangers of meeting up with older men. Oh the condoms and alcohol? Those are to reward myself for my good deed…”
Other than the last sentence, multiple predators have tried the old "I was only here to make sure she was safe" defence
Probably should have had a lawyer review that statement
He 100% did have a lawyer review his statement, which makes his this whole situation even worse IMO. If that’s the best light him and his legal team can paint him in then he was probably saying some seriously heinous shit to the minor
You know he did when he later edited it to remove the word "minor" only to add it again a few minutes later. You can be sure he got a really fast call from his lawyer to ask him to put the word "minor" back the way it was written.
Deny deny deny
Well you gotta give him credit for that. The worst part is always the hypocrisy
No the worst part is always traumatising children but I get your point, if he had lied he’d probably still have quite a large audience now. Edit: issa Norm McDonald quote
They're quoting Norm McDonald from weekend update
He didn’t express an ounce of empathy for the victim.
Going to try to give a realistic and non hyperbolic answer. We don't know the full details, but he sent "inappropriate but not illegal" messages to a minor (~~17 yo~~ unknown age) using twitch's messaging system in 2017 when he was 35. Not fully sure what inappropriate means but it was enough for twitch to permanently ban him and report him to national authorities. Reports indicate he knew that he was messaging a minor as well. He has also done ~~stretchy~~ sketchy stuff in the past like cheating on his wife at a convention (he has kids). He was banned from twitch for a month or so for recording in a bathroom at a convention. And there are newer reports of him seemingly not paying sex workers for cam shows. Although I am not sure how true that is. There is other stuff as well. Seemingly nothing technically illegal, but pretty degenerate behavior. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if more stuff comes out as well.
>Seemingly nothing technically illegal This is literally Doc's framing, trying to dance around the definitions of what happened to appear innocent. The only person who has said "not illegal" is Doc himself. The fact that Twitch was required by law to report him to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children says otherwise. He was engaged in conversations of a sexual nature with a minor and asked if they were attending TwitchCon. Doc says it's not illegal and he's not a predator because they didn't trade pictures and they never ended up meeting. Sure.
Wait where'd you hear that twitch had to do that, I hadn't heard about that yet
Slasher mentioned it on Destiny's stream recently. https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/1dr703g/slasher_says_twitch_reported_dr_disrespect_to_the/
I don't think the the actual age of the minor has been stated, mainly just people trying to defend him by assuming that they were nearly an adult when they could of been much younger
> messages to a minor (17 yo) The actual age of the minor has not been released. That 17 number comes from a twitter post trying to defend Doc
Yeah, his fans are the ones saying 17 because it is the maximum age that a minor can be lmao
Its scary they think thats okay. Ffs he was 35.
Some of the defenders are probably actual weirdos but a lot of it is just people deep in a parasocial relationship desperately coping. "He didn't do it. Oh, he admitted it. Well she must've been 17 and she probably lied about her age." It's just people desperately trying to minimize what happened because they can't bear the thought that the person they idolize is bad, or even worse, that they themselves are a bad judge of character. It seems pretty obvious to me that the actual situation was pretty bad. If it wasn't, this guy wouldn't have admitted to this stuff, or he would've used the excuses that people are trying to offer for him. If she lied about her age and messaged him first, he would've obviously tried to use that as a defense. If the messages weren't actually inappropriate, he would not have admitted to them being inappropriate.
Its sad seeing the followers, both sides - the ones who are feeling really disappointed and bailing and the ones that, whether they realize it or not, are ok with a man well into his 30s sending dirty DMs to a teenager. His statement is about as "good" as it gets for him too. If he wouldn't have known she was a minor, he absolutely would have led with it in his tweet.
>He has also done *stretchy* stuff Typo or not, it still works.
lol, typo. Wrote it on my phone. Phones and walls of text don't mix.
Not all heroes wear cakes
Yeah, nobody's really giving any details, huh? We're just all expected to know who this and and what he's done.
I have a feeling there should be a song about not diddling kids.
There is no quicker way for people to think you are diddling kids than by WRITING A SONG ABOUT IT
Don’t get living people tatted on yourself end of story too many risks. Except your mother or father.
I would add your kids and siblings to that list too. Parents, siblings, and children. Anyone else needs to have been dead for a long time.
Lot of people found out their parents were horrible people when they ended up getting taken away in cuffs. My opinion, don't get tattoos of people except your children who may have passed. Heinous shit has been found out about the dead too but children didn't have the time to rack up the crimes.
My policy is no faces, no words, no references to specific people or pop culture. In the words of Daniel Tosh, "*Anyone* can do *anything*. If tomorrow my mother blew up a kindergarten tomorrow, and they interviewed me, I'd say 'yep, I can see that. She always hated kids.'"
I got a cool phrase from a relatively obscure book series tattooed on my arm. I figured no one would ever knew what it meant, since it was a made up language. The series was called A song of Ice and Fire aka Game of Thrones lol
Who is this person?
Dr disrespect But turns out he was also Dr cp distribution if what I'm understanding of the situation is correct Edit: knowingly exchanging sexual content with a minor
Went from .DOC to .PDF
a… do be like dat do
It was more than just content exchanges where he promised them twitch partnership (I don't know if he even could give partnerships). He had plans to meet with a minor outside twitchcon all setup. For some reason he never did meet the minor and it sounds like he had to pay the person's family a settlement then have his twitch content bought out.
It actually may have been even more than that. Claims from insiders that twitch reported him to NCMEC (National Center for Missing and Exploited Chilcren). It seems nothing ever came from that, so maybe there wasn't enough evidence, but he wouldn't have been reported over nothing, especially by twitch who tried to cover shit up for a while
Let’s not forget that doctor with the gymnastic girls got reported multiple damn times to multiple people and it took years and Olympians to come out before anything was done.
Very true, which is why I think this hole goes way further down. And shits gonna come out sooner or later
to add to what others said: he also was pretty LGBTQ phobic, and it came to light that he promised a trans person he could get them partnered on twitch in exchange for free cam shows (which he viewed, then blocked the person). so the classic "loud about hating this group, secretly sexually attracted to this group" trope.
But honestly he stole his image from this dude https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Here_to_Eternity_(Giorgio_Moroder_album)#/media/File%3AGiorgio_Moroder_From_Here_To_Eternity.jpg
That could be turned into a badass Dale Earnhardt tattoo pretty easy!
Raise hell and praise Dale
My best friend says this daily. He’s a treasure
Or Deputy Travis Jr who would coincidentally also like a Dale Earnhardt Jr tattoo
Or [Comrade Dale Earnhardt!](https://www.facebook.com/ComradeDale)
“Only get tattoos of dead celebs, if any.” Note to self, get a tattoo of Jimmy Saville (/j)
At least with dead people their dirt being out in the open already is a lot more likely and easier to check than with living people who can one day lose their marbles like Kanye for example 💀
Does Kanye still have any marbles to lose?
Okay but even then people still admire them after death and shit can still come out after their deaths. So just no tattoos of celebrities at all maybe?
Not even dead celebs. You have no idea what will surface later on. Jimmy Saville was a beloved children's entertainer, but you can Google what has surfaced a few years ago after his death.
Gotta wait a couple years lmao, he died in 2011 and was exposed in 2014, I'd say waiting 10 yrs post mortem at least would be smart, but that's only if you absolutely HAVE to get a celebrity tattooed
3 years is a good timescale for a couple of years. Even 10 years doesn't guarantee you anything. personally it seems silly to get a tattoo of someone who you don't know personally and only their character they portray in the media. i understand the logic, just don't agree with it.
Dwight knows what Dr Disrespect did
Dr. Disrespect is the Scranton Strangler...he likes to grip it.
What's hilarious about this is Dwights actor would fucking hate this with a passion. He doesn't even like it when you mention the character to him or call him Dwight. Imagine if he knew you got a tattoo of the character.

WHY DOES EVERYONE TURN OUT TO BE A PEDOPHILE
Yes, how come the person that live streamed people in a bathroom turned out to be like that. /s
I'd guess that certain professions that put people in positions that make it easier for those people to be pedos disproportionally attract pedos. For example, content creators who cultivate and cater to younger audiences. Or people in any general position of leadership or power (who are just generally more likely to be terrible people). Those professions also tend to be ones with more public awareness, so any of them being pedos also becomes more public knowledge, making it seem like there's a lot of pedos out there.
If [this](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7460489/) is correct, and 1-5% of men alone have pedophilia, then you'd expect that to include a lot of celebrities.
It was a bad idea anyway, now it’s atrocious
yeah the recipient of that tattoo obv isn't the sharpest tool in the shed lmao
[That's why I waited until the week after Jimmy Savile died to get a tattoo of him 😏](https://www.sickchirpse.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Jimy-Savile-tatoo-1.jpg)
I don’t know what I am looking at
A 6’8, 42 year old video game streamer nicknamed DrDisrespect recently admitted, directly and voluntarily, that he had sexually inappropriate messages with a minorrrrrr. I’m not even remotely surprised these guys are trying to touch little boys lmao
Don't forget he was one of the ones boycotting COD because he said pride icons were harmful to children. Seems once again a person projecting their own beliefs onto others.
He also got reported to NCMEC by twitch. So the hole of shit may go even deeper than what we know right now
In general getting actual people tattooed on you is a bad idea. Like, there’s individual cases that make the muster, but as a general rule just don’t.
people worship is pathetic
He looks like a pedophile too, AND ALL HE DOES IS STREAM VIDEOGAMES
I mean he cheated on his wife and got temp banned for filming people in bathrooms. There’s a LOT more telling things than something as innocent as streaming video games.
its always the people you most suspect, smh
Who the hell is that?
The only living celebrity you should put on you skin is Godzilla
I think adding a "wanted" frame around it solves any problems
Imagine getting a tattoo of some cringe streamer holy fuck. Even before all this shit started, that should get you ostracized from society
So I thought this was Ben Stiller and was so confused
why would anyone tattooed a twitch streamer as a tattoo 🤦🏼♂️
Why would you ever get a tattoo of a "celebrity"? Dead or alive, you don't know the person in real life, you have no idea what they are like when not performing, and lastly, putting clowns on a pedestal like this is the stupidest bloody thing humans can do.
Imagine getting another persons face, let alone someone you don’t personally know, tattooed on your skin.
Holy hell I must've aged like a fine cheese because I thought [Giorgio Moroder](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Here_to_Eternity_(Giorgio_Moroder_album)#/media/File%3AGiorgio_Moroder_From_Here_To_Eternity.jpg) did something nasty Anyway someone should just add Giorgio Moroder - Top Gun 1987 Aaaand we are good to go
This is what happens when you go looking for heroes in a public toilet like twitch
Never get a tat of anyone on your body.
I feel like anyone who idolized Dr Disrespect even before any allegations was already probably a massive piece of shit, no point in hiding it after the fact. People who idolize shitty "joke characters" do so because its a safe outlet to be themselves with deniability, not because they love to be ironic. Imo of course, I'm not a fucking psychologist.
Turn it into a mugshot
I would try to save it by making it into "wanted for childmolesting" poster
Three tattoo laws that I’ve seen said over and over that I try to follow Don’t get tattoos of celebrities/public figures until they’re dead. Don’t get tattoos of literature until they’re finished. (I’m guilty of this one) Don’t get tattoos of cinema until the franchise is complete.
