“I’m not a predator” said the tiger as he approached the sheep.

Apropos.

his tweet was…wow. admits to sexting a minor, says he’s not a pedophile and hates pedophiles, says he’s gonna take a break and then come back similar to the time he admitted to cheating on his wife (likely with a minor at this point).

The timeline of events is wild too. He says he was sexting with the kid in 2017, the same year he admitted on stream he cheated on his wife. But he got banned in 2020…yeah because if you read the bloomberg article you’d see it wasn’t until then that it was reported to twitch by either the victim, their family or someone close to them that it happened. proof in the pudding? literally two days prior to the ban Twitch released a statement about how it was investigating and cracking down on streamers who were discovered to be sexting minors on the platform. two days AFTER that statement doc gets banned (Ludwigs most recent video here: youtu.be/lMRu0jqQssw?si=QopJRTpxAUrICRIa&t=503 goes into detail)

Nah man this is it for you bud. All his buddies (Nickmercs, Timthetatman, etc) have come out and said they’re done with him. If you support the guy you’re pretty much admitting you support pedophilia.

So now I’m curious when he cheated on his wife, was it with someone underage?

tldr, he was sexting a minor.

ILikeBoobies,

He’s an influencer. That’s what they do

Does Kotaku have to autoplay videos on mobile that are not related to the article? Of course not OPs fault, just wondering because my data limit is getting tight for the month😢

DerisionConsulting,

You can change your settings so that nothing plays that you don’t want to, it stops a lot of garbage and ads from websites.

Firefox on your phone:

-click the 3 dot menu on the right
-select settings
-then select site permissions
-then select Autoplay
-choose “block audio and video”

LowleeKun,

Thanks🙏

Just because it wasn’t illegal doesn’t mean it wasn’t fucking gross.

And just because you didn’t meet up doesn’t mean you didn’t engage in pedophilia. I like how he talks about hating pedophiles, so at least we know he hates himself too /s

Name a more iconic combo than these:

  • Cookies and milk
  • Steak and frites
  • Peanut butter and chocolate
  • Being a streamer and liking kids sexually

why does it keep happening that famous people are pedophiles?

stoly,

It’s because there are more pedophiles than anyone wants to admit and many of those who live a truly blessed life think they can get away with it. What you’re seeing is that this is a big problem and nobody is doing anything to help.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Well, if anyone points out a pedo in my neighborhood, I’ll do something about it.

stoly,

And that’s not helping.

iAmTheTot,

Because you hear news about the famous ones. You don’t hear news about the not famous ones.

He should have his medical license revoked as well

Wiki is already updated. Sucks this guy sucks. Mad props to the studio though, they terminated a working relationship with their more prominent supporter when they could have tried to ignore the allegations.

SkyezOpen,

Another former employee corroborated the story to The Verge. Dr Disrespect responded on Twitter by stating that the legal case was settled and “no wrongdoing was acknowledged”.

Oh my God that’s as good as an admission.

The fact that they did their own investigation and found enough to cut ties speaks volumes imo. I’m sure they can’t say anything else due to legal shenanigans or something

ryannathans, to games in Dr Disrespect's Own Game Studio Cuts Ties With Him After Investigating New Twitch Ban Allegations

An allegation? For something that happened years ago, before they started working together? That they knew of before starting? Almost sounds like a civil suit waiting to happen

Chozo,

I'm going to assume that it's more than just an allegation and that it's sufficiently substantiated if they're willing to publicly cut ties with him like this. Their statement says that they confirmed the events with the involved parties, so I imagine they're confident in their decision.

That's how it seems to me due to his twitch ban as well. The guy is fairly popular and brings money in, I couldn't see Twitch banning him and losing the shared revenue unless the claim had damning evidence

ChicoSuave,

According to the new statement from Midnight Society, the studio’s leadership became aware of the allegations for the first time on June 21 shortly after Conners’ tweets went viral on Twitter, and began its own investigation into the situation. “We assumed his innocence and began speaking with parties involved,” the company wrote.

They heard the allegation, looked into if it was true and how true it is, and found a reason to sever a major figure from the roster. That’s not a “it’s just an allegation” - that’s a third party investigating a potential child predator and not liking what they found.

bbuez,

Update?

Oh no!

Anyway…

It’s not just the fact they are paid but also they removed part of a quest, paywalled it for a lot and you still need to buy the rest of the quest not out yet!

The best part is that the free mods will end up being better anyway.
