Dr Disrespect hits back at backlash over \u201cpolitics\u201d ruining Starfield sponsorship YouTube\/DrDisrespectDr Disrespect responded to recent backlash over a Starfield stream where he revealed his \u201cpast controversies\u201d kept Bethesda from wanting to work with them. As the internet embraced Bethesda\u2019s newest space RPG Starfield, Dr Disrespect went viral after a clip from his stream surfaced when he noticed the game has an option for pronouns in the character creator. After pulling up the Twitter\/X account for Pete Hines, Bethesda\u2019s head of publishing, Doc noticed he had pronouns in his bio and remarked how, \u201ceverything\u2019s starting to make sense.\u201d The two-time then revealed that he was denied a deal to work with Bethesda due to past \u201cpast controversies,\u201d resulting in the clip spreading across social media, which Doc slammed as being taken out of context. Dr Disrespect responds to controversial Starfield stream Following the viral clip, Doc decided to address the drama on September 4 where he made it clear he wants to avoid \u201cpolitics\u201d in general and reiterated comments he made about politics staying out of games. \u201cAs you know on this channel, and it\u2019s been like this since we started, we don\u2019t deal with politics. You just won\u2019t win. You got your extreme left, you got your extreme right. We don\u2019t deal with them,\u201d he said. The remarks echoed previous comments by the YouTuber where he called Activision\u2019s decision to remove NICKMERCS\u2019 Call of Duty skin \u201cembarrassing\u201d and said he would never discuss politics. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what your background is or where you\u2019re from. It don\u2019t matter. White, Mexican, Black, gay, lesbian, trans, it don\u2019t matter. You know why? We don\u2019t care inside of the arena,\u201d he beamed. \u201cWe just want to get you your front-row ticket. Because it\u2019s showtime here. It\u2019s that simple. We don\u2019t f**king care.\u201d It\u2019s still not clear exactly what \u201cpast controversies\u201d kept Bethesda from wanting to work with Dr Disrespect. That said, aside from the aforementioned NICKMERCS drama, the streamer was mysteriously banned from Twitch in the summer of 2020, and we still have no idea why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
