Dr Disrespect slams game developers over \u201cracist\u201d livestream chats Dr DisrespectLegendary Twitch streamer Dr Disrespect used his platform to call out video game publishers and developers for not moderating their chats during large events and allowing racist comments to go unfiltered. During a June 4 broadcast, the Two-Time took a moment to talk about racial injustices and pivoted to the topic of large companies such as Sony and Microsoft not doing enough to combat racism on YouTube, Twitch, and Twitter. Doc explained that while he did want to talk about certain communities and toxic behavior, it ultimately came down to the decisions of certain streamers, but when it came to larger companies, actions needed to be taken. \u201cI\u2019m speaking specifically to huge video gaming launches or reveals or press conferences or conventions,\u201d he noted, specifically naming Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation reveals. \u201cTheir chats are not moderated. I go there as a spectator, it\u2019s f**king a distraction to see the amount of racism that happens within a chat that is unmoderated.\u201d The Twitch star didn\u2019t hold back, demanding that publishers and developers \u201cstep up\u201d and deal with the racism in their chats. \u201cIf you\u2019re going to go live on YouTube or Twitch or whatever it is, get a f**king hold of your chat. Cause it\u2019s out of control!\u201d he exclaimed. \u201cFirst off, it\u2019s just bad. It\u2019s just like \u2018why\u2019. We know it\u2019s hard to regulate that sh*t. I get it, but we have to come up with some different solutions.\u201d He then added some advice to companies if they weren\u2019t going to take measures to control their chats during broadcasts. \u201cAt this point don\u2019t do a live event if you\u2019re not going to moderate,\u201d he urged. \u201cCome out with this pre-produced video, put it on your YouTube channel, turn off comments, and there you go. Tweet it out, turn off replies on your Twitter.\u201d According to Doc, until these companies can create a community that doesn\u2019t put up with racism, such as his Champions Club, disabling comments is the best option. \u201cI thought about that over the weekend and I had to say that. I had to get that off my mind,\u201d he explained. \u201cI, as a fan, want to see what the hell Sony is going to talk about. What the hell we\u2019re going to see at the E3 event\u2026 I\u2019m there to watch video games. Get a grip of it. That\u2019s all I ask.\u201d I like to win\u2026 a fair game. And this is not. Starting tomorrow all stream donations for the month will be going to charities. I don’t wanna argue bout nothin. pic.twitter.com\/xU2JRu8B4k \u2014 Dr Disrespect (@DrDisrespect) June 3, 2020 While he is outspoken against racism, Dr Disrespect is also putting his money where his mouth is.
