“He has nothing left to lose”

earthpressnews

Streamer Guy “DrDisrespect” Herschel is back online after about 40 days and he has dug up the hatchet. He reacts aggressively and cynically to nasty comments online about his scandal. Twitch streamer Asmongold looks at this and says that DrDisrespect simply has nothing left to lose.

This is the situation:

  • DrDisrespect signed a major deal with Twitch in March 2020, but was permanently banned from the platform on June 26, 2020. The reasons were unclear for 4 years.
  • In the 4 years since then, DrDisrespect has done well, but not as brilliantly as he once did. He still had a few deals and made good money, but streamed on YouTube without an exclusive contract and constantly complained about how much opportunity and income the ban had cost him.
  • On June 21, 2024, it became known why DrDisrespect was banned. In 2017, he had exchanged inappropriate messages with a 17-year-old on Twitch. Now DrDisrespect’s career collapsed: partners and friends distanced themselves from him. His own gaming studio stopped working with him. YouTube cut off his funding.

    • This was the status of the ban on DrDisrespect until the summer of 2024:

    After 36 days DrDisrespect is back

    This is his comeback: 36 days after DrDisrespect announced a break, he is back online. He posted a picture of himself playing chess while his opponent is playing checkers on X.

    This is a reference to a well-known saying that means: “I am far ahead of all of you. My plans are much more thought-out and sophisticated than yours.”

    DrDisrespect is criticized, fires back sharply

    What is the reaction? The reaction to this tweet is partly hostile – the response to this hostility from DrDisrespect is to fire back on all cylinders.

    A user posts a picture suggesting that DrDisrespect is a pedophile.

    He calls him a “woke boy who has been brainwashed.”

    Another user asks him sarcastically: “Are you playing with a minor?”

    DrDisrespect says, “Good point, they/theirs. But the internet will never help you with your real problem… depression.”

    Asmongold says: “He has nothing left to lose”

    How is this commented on? Twitch streamer Asmongold seems to be watching this with enjoyment, but also with wide eyes. According to him, DrDisrespect is now “completely maskless.”

    Asmongold says he doesn’t know where to go from here. DrDisrespect no longer has any deals with big brands and nothing left to lose.

    DrDisrespect has no other option, Asmongold believes: He cannot ignore this criticism in the hope that it will go away. So he defends himself with jokes and insults. He has never seen this strategy before, says Asmongold.

    “He’s coming back a damn villain.”

    What happens next? Nobody knows. The “logical” option for DrDisrespect would probably be to switch to Kick. They like controversial streamers. But he will probably not get the huge sum he once demanded as a signing fee for his move.
