[alt text: several screenshots of posts on twitter. The bottom post is a tweet from @DrDisrespect on twitter, which says, "LIVE in 30 minutes. I just installed Deadlock... what the hell is this game? If it's from Valve, I must know. I must... understand the future of multiplayer gaming." This Dr Disrespect tweet is a screenshot being shared by @IntelDeadlock on twitter. Their post includes text that says, "Dr Disrespect is playing Deadlock today! Please avoid queue if you are a minor". The top post is another, later tweet from @IntelDeadlock on twitter, which says, "His entire team left his very first game". The post includes a screenshot of Dr Disrespect's livestream.]

course not. he's an idiot that stumbled into a profitable gig, and then he let it slip through his kiddie-diddlin' little fingers.

2017 twitch had a “whispers” product. Sounds like direct messages twitch.

He was sexting a minor. A twitch employee confirmed he was sexting her even after he learned her age. He tried to setup a meetup at twitchcon.

He might be legally pseudo protected by twitch having minimum age requirements. I’m not a lawyer so I don’t know why the company just banned him instead of referring it to the cops. This all could have been secret if he had just kept his mouth shut and not bad mouthed the company with all the deets.

He might be legally pseudo protected by twitch having minimum age requirements.

Unless it was a few very specific US states, this isn't really relevant. The minimum age to sign up for an account on Twitch is 13.
