How come last video you said that the topic was too sensitive to put a sponsor on, but on a separate video on the *same topic* you put a sponsor on it? Morals need to be consistent.
Yeah this is a kind of dodgy topic to be having a sponsor for. Last video you made it seem like you decided to not have a sponsor for sensitivity reasons but this comment makes me think it was the brand rejecting yesterdays video?
Even if he was unhappy in his marriage and wanted to sleep around, he is a 6’8 multi-millionaire. Why tf would a 15 year old be the one you entertain? Surely he could successfully pursue 90% of single women of age rather than a kid who is still in school?
Reading "Were there real intentions behind these messages, absolutely not" reminded me of all the stuff those guys say when they show up to the house and see Chris Hansen. "I wasn't even gonna do anything!! I was just coming to hang out with this 13 year old girl! And I brought condoms for no reason!"
exactly!!! he can only say that now because for whatever reason (and thank goodness for that reason) it didn't actually happen. regardless of whether he met the person irl, he is a predator
@@duckemoji Braindead fucking take, you haven't read the messages you have literally no idea what the situation is except that he exchanged messages with a minor some of which were inappropriate (we don't know whose messages were inappropriate or how they were inappropriate) which was only enough for a civil dispute that ended in Dr Disrespect being PAID. For you this is somehow enough to label a person a predator (a very serious and heinous criminal) for no other reason that it "feels like he wanted to do more with the minor" and let me reiterate you have NOT seen any of the messages between these people. A pedophile should be sentenced to serve in prison but what we UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES allow is to extra juristically judge someone on no evidence for literally one of the worst crimes we know. It is such a sensitive topic for braindead people and that is why most innocent incarcerated people are accused of rape and pedophilia. These crimes happen but we need to let the justice system deal with it because our law has always protected the innocent over the prosecution of the guilty ("better 10 guilty men go free than 1 innocent man in jail" or "innocent until proven guilty"). If more information surfaces that allows us to make this judgment then we will do so at that time.
I know this may come off wrong. But i think we'd need to see the messages, to determine who started to lean on the sexual aspect of it more. Because i think it's okay to talk to a minor. However, it is NOT OK to SEXT a minor. If the minor started being flirty and Doc didn't indulge in that aspect, i think that is completely different. Again, i think it's 100% necessary to see the text messages
@@nolep28 if you report from the most central position the most people will listen. If you start reporting as left the right stops listening, if you report right the left stops listening. in the centre everyone feels heard.
@@richardinis this take would have made sense BEFORE Doc himself made his statement that prompted this video. If doc didn’t start the talks or entertained them, if he didn’t know their age at the time/got catfished etc. he would have said that on his shitty statement would he have not? He literally admitted it all no need to leave such an open ended statement or cut room for plausible deniability, if there was any he would have said that
But it is important because if he did not know she was a minor, and while the text content was probably inappropriate, if he did not actually do anything illegal, then someone is about to lose MILLIONS from this. The possibility that this was all a hit piece from some disgruntled Twitch employees that didn't like him seems even more likely now.
@@FreshTillDeath56 If Dr. Disrespect didn't know the person he was messaging was a minor, he would've said as much because that's the only thing that can save him in this situation. Just the fact that in his statement where he's clearly trying to mitigate the damage from this situation, he makes no mention of not knowing that the person was a minor is extremely damning because he has no reason not to mention that information. So, he almost certainly knew the person was underaged.
"I'm not a pedophile" alright bro, ephebophile then, still fucked up. I'm in my 30s and I cannot fathom letting a conversation with a minor "lean in the direction of being inappropriate". Ever.
Talking to the 24/25 year olds at work gives me the same I’m a creep vibe even if we’re only 8 years apart. Hearing they’re ok with the age difference is a massive red flag too
Just for some perspective… Age of consent in most of the US is 16. Age of consent in 3/4 of Europe is 15. Age of consent in 1/2 of Europe is 14. Some countries have an age of consent as low as 13 and under. So if this girl was say… 17… is what he did really that wrong?
That's for ppl around the same age. Not for mid 30s and teenagers. U know how we aren't legal adults till 18, and even full legal adult till 21. Dude has pedo intentions.
@@CM-ky5gothe fact that you’re even making this argument is what’s messed up. Look at yourself in the mirror and honestly realize that you’re defending someone who was sending inappropriate messages to someone HALF their age. Something may not *technically* be illegal. But it’s still scummy as hell

Lets say he didn’t knew that girl was minor or she lied when he asked. Would twitch permanently ban him knowing that doc had no idea she was a minor?(Inform me is talking to a minor knowingly same as talking unknowingly? I have no idea) I think doc knew she was a minor thats why twitch banned him.
@@yash___12215 I’m not sure what the laws or the Twitch Terms of Service states, but I think there’s a big distinction between the person lying about their age and not bothering to ask in the first place. If they lie about their age, there’s nothing you could’ve done (except not messaging the minor in the first place). If you never asked, then I’d say that responsibility is on you to find out. Influencers, especially ones of Doc’s size, know how young their fanbases can be. It’s irresponsible to not ask. (I’d also say it’s irresponsible to be messaging fans like that in the first place, but that’s a bit more up for debate.)
@@yash___12215If he didn't know it was a minor he would have said that in his tweet. He said morally what he did was wrong. He absolutely knew. I'll eat my words if it comes out that he didn't know, but I don't buy that
Yh it makes me think theres proof and his legal advice told him to keep it honest because more can come out to disprove his statement 🤔 especially since he's already said some murky things😅
I'm surprised so few people even considered the possibility. I always thought him being a creep but Twitch having legal grounds was the plain, common sense reason he was banned.

UA-camrs and streamers will literally have their dream job, a loyal fan base, more than enough money to live happily, and then for some reason think “hmm how can I ruin all of this for myself as fast as possible?”
These fuckers don't want success. They want a sense of power. They will cheat on their spouses, harass a stranger, and even abuse minors if it gives them that sense of superiority.
The only thing Dr. Disrespect loses is his fan base, he still has enough money to retire, so he has enough money to do his dream job. The fan base is probably the worst part of being an internet personality if I had to guess.

Kind of wild he popped smoke this fast and gone silent, after self reporting that he had an INAPPROPRIATE conversation with a minor. Surrounding that, he asked about their plans for travel to TwitchCon (allegedly) So, keep blindly defending your guy here. Look back on this and maybe mature a bit.
I think the point of contention is whether or not he knew she was a minor at the time of those messages, because if he didn't then he's not really lying. Granted if there was a time to say that he wasn't aware it was then.
To be fair inappropriate doesn't always necessarily mean sexual it can also mean it comes into more familiar grounds and one of friendship which is also considered something an adult should not do with a child/minor. Doc needs to clarify more on this and when he found out their age if he wants to be found innocent
@riku861 That's clearly not a point of contention. If he didn't know she was a minor then he'd have made that very clear, since it's literally the only way that would save him slightly. He made it clear that he spoke inappropriately with a minor. It's abundantly obvious that he knew they were a minor. It's horrific that people are still trying to reach to justify it.
@@tensemurm5924yeah it has the same issue as the initial reply where he said “there was no wrongdoing.” NO ONE who either didn’t talk to a minor or who didn’t know they were a minor is not saying that immediately. If the answer is not first and foremost a denial it has to be assumed he knew. There’s just no way any rational person would respond in any other way.
Horrible situation but icl it has been pretty fun seeing right wing content creators go from "every queer person is a groomer" to "hold on now we need more evidence, these are some serious accusations". Especially Nickmercs, f that guy
idk about kris but i dont think he i gonna talk about cody because he said he is waiting for cody ko to respond to this situation which he hasnt yet and i dont think he will
why? people wrongly accusing him of being a pedo and sexting a minor, while he isn't able to defend himself? Twitch (ex-employees) broke the agreement to disclose the content of the case so he can now talk about it himself. We now know he wasn't sexting a minor,... he was talking with someone (not sexual) who he might not have known the age of when starting the conversation (he probably will clarify this later since it would make a big difference knowing someone is a minor when talking to someone of course) besides he won the case so there is no reason to suspect anything about it. Could have tweeted anything he would, beats being falsely called a pedo for sure, nobody would like that. Edit: anyone who wants to comment, read the others first cause I have better shit to do and don't care enough about this
Frankly apologys to a single person shouldnt be done in a public space that's some that's done behind close doors and with a trust adult to support said minor
@previll Sure, but there's no remorse or anything in his response. He just went "I wasn't even gonna do nothing!" and "F all the haters, I'll be back!" instead of acknowledging that what he did was reprehensible.
I wouldn’t say this is something that “always” happens, but it’s certainly an ironic situation on docs part. This kind of stuff and anyone who genuinely defends this is actually disgusting.
Almost like it was a small snippet of a paragraphs long statement taken out of context for a spicy YT algorithm pushing thumbnail intended to do just that and make your lizard brain want to write this comment, thus pushing the algorithm further 🙄
@@Ki_Adi_Mundi what difference did the rest of the message make? He admitted to messaging a minor and that things got inappropriate, that’s literally exactly what he said.
I love how literally every single time someone gets caught talking inappropriately with a minor, they always, without fail, pull out the “I didn’t have any ill intentions! I was just joking!” Yeah no every single other person like that is gross but dr disrespect is obviously the one exception.
I mean that's literally what those creeps say when Chris Hansen asks them to take a seat. "I wasn't going to do anything!" Meanwhile they're AT the minor's house.
The joking part is always funny to me because it implies they think it's normal behavior for adults just to have casual sexual conversations or make advances with minors as a joke. Like bro, even if it was a joke (which I don't believe), that would still be really creepy and weird.
Eh, this situation is actually different since most other times not only is there actual evidence and shit to show it was actual sexting/grooming, but in the other cases it went beyond just texting (i.e. sharing/requesting nudes, trying to organize a meet-up, etc). The fact that theres no evidence at all compounded with the fact that both the accusations and dr disrespects tweets about it are so vague, i would say that there is a lot more wiggle room for dr disrespect here than there would be for someone on TCAP that has pages of sexual messages and actual criminal activity as evidence.
His “settlement” was almost assuredly about the legality of the termination of his contract and if twitch had to pay him or not. The fact that they settled means it was grounds for a termination. The fact that it wasn’t a criminal case means nothing. Hit show To catch a predator lead to ZERO arrests because, like Doc, there was intervention before something COULD happen. (There was a senator that shout himself that led to the shows cancellation) His statement hits bar for bar to catch a predator “but nothing happened” or “I never intended to do it” His statement is THEE most charitable version of his story and even still he’s admitting to GROOMING a minor.
What do you mean no arrests, they definitely did make arrests, with cases being thrown out usually when the text evidence was subpar and they ran before entering the house? Solicitation of sex from a minor is a criminal offense and twitch would have had to pay him out millions for being unable to proove it. And inappropriate doesn't mean sexting either. Balatantly lying is so incredibly pathetic
fr I find it kinda weird, that he said that he wants to wait for a less inappropriate video to do a sponsor, but then does it on the very next day on a video that's about the same exact topic
@@cursesin dude he explained it. these things are agreed on contractually in advance. he had another topic planned for today but this story escalated. it's not just a guy recording stuff in his room, there are business decisions to be made.

@@FlowingAqua I know what he said, he also stated that he had another video planned for today, why not just make that video today with the sponsor and then release the doc video tomorrow without a sponsor? Having a sponsor on a news video about a sexual predator is weird.

What's crazy to me is that in just a few minutes after this tweet, I've still seen HUNDREDS of people say he did nothing wrong because he's not in jail. What world do we live in where someone can literally openly admit that they sexted a minor and STILL people go like nahh that's not pedo.
@@artsho They were at least sometimes (in his own words) inappropriate conversations. And he did say that it was morally wrong. My guess is that he didn't ask/send pictures, but he said some nasty things (dirty talk probably?). Iirc, that is considered sexting.
@@artsho somebody not going to jail for something is not the same as them not doing it, women die all the time over police not acting on whole ass stalkers that they report a dozen times, and you think the same police forces are gonna swat down Doc for being a creep in a girls dms? really? the only volumes it speaks is how much the justice system fails women who are victims of crimes.
If he didnt know the age of the person he was talking to, that would be his first defence. So I'm convinced he knew he was texting a minor like he admitted.
Silence does not confer innocence or guilt smoothbrain. Using the classic "I didn't know she was a minor I swear" would add more fuel to the fire. Also, be specific with your language - "talking innappropriately" and "sexting" are different things. The fact is that twitch was unable to proove he was inciting sex from a minor and payed him out millions, disprooves the allegation.
@@mazzaleen6091 DrFiddler please log out of your alt account. Imagine defending a predator after he admits to it. You should be put on a list too creepy weirdo.
Yea, the settlement was Doc wanting to keep it quiet, not the other way around. So he could've said something this whole time, but it was his settlement that was keeping everyone's mouth shut.

that’s the entire point of distinguishing between minors and adults. legally minors can not give any sort of sexual consent (except for like laws protecting minors with other minors) so even if she thought she was into it at the time, it doesn’t matter at all and that’s not even MENTIONING the power imbalance. this dude is/was one of the most massive streamers especially at the time so even if she was really uncomfortable she probably didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to talk to him. i’m 100% sure dr disrespect believes what he said about it being mutual but he is so naive for that belief, and imo should not be in the position of power that he’s in. i hope youtube bans him too 🙏
@@ryuined i dont even think its naivité at that point. no way this grown man in his mid 30s thought "yeah theres nothing weird at all about me talking inappropriately with this teenager under 18". i mean the fact that he SAID it was inappropriate!!! that guarantees he wasnt naive, he knew exactly that what he was doing wasnt right. obviously. bc hes not dumb.
i live by a highschool. i aint even as old as this dude but when i see those 15, 16, 17 yos lined up outside im like...thats a literal whole entire child. an INFANT.
Two things stand out here. The allegations say "sexting" not "texting". He admitted it was at the very least "inappropriate." He did not outright say that he didn't know at the time that they were a minor. What he didn't say... says it all.
he acknowledged that the person he was texting at the time was a minor in his tweet. what more proof do you need. also, he admitted that the texts he sent were inappropriate and he also made it clear that he did not want to be labeled as a predator or pedophile, so wtf makes u think the inappropriate texts were anything other than sexual???
there are quite literally facts being laid in front of your eyes about how he is guilty in this situation, and you just simply refuse to believe them because you want to continue on being delusional?? please stop trying to stick up for him. he was a 35 year old man engaging in inappropriate conversations with a minor. there is no excuse for that.

I'l never undertsand why a 30 year-ish feels the uncontrollable need to text with minors. I'm 21 and literally don't talk with underage girls, because what the hell does a 21 year old guy have to do with a minor. Just don't
with these people, abusers, its not about the other person being the most attractive or whatever. its about POWER. he didnt get the feeling of power over his wife, so he sought out someone who he had power over. thats why there are a lot of child abusers that arent actually per definition pedophiles - they dont care about that, they just want the feeling of power. and with kids/teenagers, thats often most easily obtained through sexual means, bc the victims are too ashamed to do anything against it or tell anyone. its a tale as old as time ): or at least as old as the catholic church 💀
@@jannecapelle_artIt isn't always about power, and for the wealthy it is almost never about power. They have power, and if they want more there are thousands of avenues to get it using their money. They seek these victims because they seek the taboo.

This is the same reason the rich will drink twenty thousand dollar bottles of wine when there's essentially no quality difference between that wine and wine at a twentieth of that price. They do it because they can. The To Catch a Predator predators did it for power, but the rich do it for the taboo of it, mostly. Everyone is different, of course.
I think it's precisely because they can bag even a supermodel that they go for the forbidden stuff. That's why so many people in positions of power end up in these situations.
I just don’t understand if Doc did in fact get catfished with her age. Why is he not saying he got catfished. Never once did he say that. That would save his career. But the fact that he isn’t saying that, leads me and many others to believe he knew she was underaged and kept sexting after that fact.
Yuuuuuuuup. That’s a HUUUGE part of it. If I was ever catfished like that and made some kind of statement about it. THAT SHIT WOULD BE IN THE BIGGEST TEXT FONT SIZE ON EARTH, I WAS CATFISHED!!!!! There might be something in writing about him lying about the situation and if he does lie they can leak the DM’s. If he just leaves out certain details people who still believe in him can still say the catfish thing for him.

Rule of thumb: even if it’s NOT sexual and NOT inappropriate just don’t fucking text minors Edit: People have brought up good points, so don’t text minors when you’re thirty five, not related to them, and are meeting them online
I mean you can be friends with minors, it's arguably good for them even. There are people who realized they were being groomed by someone because their adult friend realized what was happening and warned them. Even just having an adult in their life, who can be an example of how a healthy adult/child friendship should look like, helps them understand when something is off in any other relationships they might have
I feel like there’s such a huge stigmatisation of texting minors because of situations like this. It’s completely fine to message minors just don’t be weird
If the messages really weren’t that “inappropriate”, then he should release the messages. I would if I knew they weren’t that bad. On the other hand, I definitely wouldn’t release them if I knew they were bad…
I personally would like to see the messages, him saying it's inappropriate is way too vague. He doesn't need to reveal the person, and could even just censor out all of the other person's messages. It would make it pretty clear whether he was actually doing anything reprehensible or if he was just being kinda weird.
@@joshcantrell8397 I guess it mainly depends on how the other party feels. Inappropriate messages or ones straddling that line aren’t the same as sexting, but could still make them uncomfortable, especially knowing millions will see them. Honestly, PR wise it’s probably best not to reveal them, loyal fans aren’t going anywhere, and those who’s already deemed him guilty aren’t changing their mind, most of them at least.
when i was 34 i dated a 21 (then she became 22). it's on a case to case basis imo. she was literally way smarter than me, although my experience makes a lot of difference on dealing with people. but doesnt on flying planes, helis, driving boats, trucks and being a lawyer (she was just the bar exam away) and other shit. she was incredibly smart, no cap. well, maybe lawyer, i'm pretty good in law stuff. but i admit this is a rare case
I've said this once and I'll say it again. If someone in hot water has the core defense of "Cmon, you guys know me! I would never!" with little other substance... take it with a whole shaker of salt.
Ur kidding me right? Twitch is full of almost naked woman showing themselves to minors every day? OnlyFans? Chatterbate u think all those subs are above 18…??? And chatting with a minor is not allowed😂
@@rando_guy There isn't anything wrong, inherently. You, as a 16yo, just need to be aware that these interactions should be a little different! It's okay to be friendly with anyone but it should be more on the sibling/guardian vibe than close friend y'know? I can tell you that as an adult, I'm 28, any interactions with a teen (I have a fair amount of them bc I have a 14yo brother who has friends come around, I go to concerts, I'm in fandom spaces etc) NEVER feel like anything that would develop into a balanced friendship. It's just such an intuitive feeling to set boundaries as an adult and instinctively interact with teens differently that I don't even really know how to explain it. I kind of feel like an aunt, I'm happy to hear about your (not you specifically) school drama, give advice if I have any (depending on the topic I might send you to a teen-appropriate website for info/better resources), talk about your interests, but all with the intention of giving you a positive safe interaction, not with the intention of pursuing a friendship like I might with someone around my age. I'd never be like "omg we have so much in common we should talk more" lol If it ever feels like an adult is trying to form a deep personal friendship with you, then this is inappropriate. They have no business doing so. They should always be viewing you as a teen, not a peer on their level. Hopefully that made sense!
I mean to be perfectly fair, I think that the only time that an adult should have any sort of relationship with a minor is when the minor's parent and/or guardian are present and lucid/involved, or of course when the social contract requires it (school, daycare, babysitting, etc.) It's good for kids to see what healthy and well-adjusted adults are like and to see how they interact with each other, and it's good for kids to feel like they matter in situations where adults are in the room talking. Kids develop the skill to determine when something feels "off" about a situation by being around these healthy adults, and a parent and their friends hanging out can be one such safe environment. It is a horrible analogy but you can think of it in the same terms as interacting with someone else's pets. It's socially acceptable to ask permission to say hello to or touch someone's pet, to give them a treat, etc, but doing anything without permission to someone's pet is inappropriate and sets off warning flags. People shouldn't be interacting with pets at all without permission/guidance/instruction from the owner first, and there are zero situations in which sexual behavior is acceptable. Now replace "owner" with "parent/guardian" and "pet" with "kid" and it's the same message.

Mogul Mail and the works (like Moist) exist for good PR. At the very least the allegations need to be addressed, because they are very much real and very much being swept under the rug. To be clear, Lud has nothing to do with the allegations, but if you're going to create an entire commentary channel to address these issues then it IS your responsibility to ACTUALLY address these issues, not just the easy dunks that boost your image.
It makes me just incredible sad man. One of my favorite people to watch on UA-cam a inspiration to many people talking to a minor inappropriately... Unbelievable. He has a wife and kids man ffs. I've expected way better of the Doc. Such a massive shame.

@@duckemoji Braindead fucking take, you haven't read the messages you have literally no idea what the situation is except that he exchanged messages with a minor some of which were inappropriate (we don't know whose messages were inappropriate or how they were inappropriate) which was only enough for a civil dispute that ended in Dr Disrespect being PAID. For you this is somehow enough to label a person a predator (a very serious and heinous criminal) for no other reason that it "feels like he wanted to do more with the minor" and let me reiterate you have NOT seen any of the messages between these people. A pedophile should be sentenced to serve in prison but what we UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES allow is to extra juristically judge someone on no evidence for literally one of the worst crimes we know. It is such a sensitive topic for braindead people and that is why most innocent incarcerated people are accused of rape and pedophilia. These crimes happen but we need to let the justice system deal with it because our law has always protected the innocent over the prosecution of the guilty ("better 10 guilty men go free than 1 innocent man in jail" or "innocent until proven guilty"). If more information surfaces that allows us to make this judgment then we will do so at that time.

100%, Weird from Lud to even mention this possibility during the video, it felt SO odd. Truly living up to the centrist mogul mail meme.
I know this may come off wrong. But i think we'd need to see the messages, to determine who started to lean on the sexual aspect of it more. Because i think it's okay to talk to a minor. However, it is NOT OK to SEXT a minor. If the minor started being flirty and Doc didn't indulge in that aspect, i think that is completely different. Again, i think it's 100% necessary to see the text messages

Talking to the 24/25 year olds at work gives me the same I’m a creep vibe even if we’re only 8 years apart. Hearing they’re ok with the age difference is a massive red flag too
Just for some perspective… Age of consent in most of the US is 16. Age of consent in 3/4 of Europe is 15. Age of consent in 1/2 of Europe is 14. Some countries have an age of consent as low as 13 and under.

I think the point of contention is whether or not he knew she was a minor at the time of those messages, because if he didn't then he's not really lying. Granted if there was a time to say that he wasn't aware it was then.
To be fair inappropriate doesn't always necessarily mean sexual it can also mean it comes into more familiar grounds and one of friendship which is also considered something an adult should not do with a child/minor.

Twitch (ex-employees) broke the agreement to disclose the content of the case so he can now talk about it himself. We now know he wasn't sexting a minor,... he was talking with someone (not sexual) who he might not have known the age of when starting the conversation (he probably will clarify this later since it would make a big difference knowing someone is a minor when talking to someone of course) besides he won the case so there is no reason to suspect anything about it.

Like bro, even if it was a joke (which I don't believe), that would still be really creepy and weird.
Eh, this situation is actually different since most other times not only is there actual evidence and shit to show it was actual sexting/grooming, but in the other cases it went beyond just texting (i.e. sharing/requesting nudes, trying to organize a meet-up, etc).
The fact that theres no evidence at all compounded with the fact that both the accusations and dr disrespects tweets about it are so vague, i would say that there is a lot more wiggle room for dr disrespect here than there would be for someone on TCAP that has pages of sexual messages and actual criminal activity as evidence.
His “settlement” was almost assuredly about the legality of the termination of his contract and if twitch had to pay him or not. The fact that they settled means it was grounds for a termination.
The fact that it wasn’t a criminal case means nothing. Hit show To catch a predator lead to ZERO arrests because, like Doc, there was intervention before something COULD happen. (There was a senator that shout himself that led to the shows cancellation)
His statement hits bar for bar to catch a predator “but nothing happened” or “I never intended to do it”
His statement is THEE most charitable version of his story and even still he’s admitting to GROOMING a minor.
What do you mean no arrests, they definitely did make arrests, with cases being thrown out usually when the text evidence was subpar and they ran before entering the house?

Ludwig would be harming his business if he didn't abide by the agreed deadline with the sponsor. It's as simple as that.
@@FlowingAqua I know what he said, he also stated that he had another video planned for today, why not just make that video today with the sponsor and then release the doc video tomorrow without a sponsor? Having a sponsor on a news video about a sexual predator is weird.
@@cursesin I think it's a little different. Before he was covering serious ALLEGATIONS that were being made. He wanted to treat the situation with more respect and levity. But now, they aren't allegations anymore.
What's crazy to me is that in just a few minutes after this tweet, I've still seen HUNDREDS of people say he did nothing wrong because he's not in jail. What world do we live in where someone can literally openly admit that they sexted a minor and STILL people go like nahh that's not pedo.
!! 100%
im confused. its not sexting. sexting a minor is illegal so the fact that he was not arrested speaks volumes
It's insane
@@artsho They were at least sometimes (in his own words) inappropriate conversations. And he did say that it was morally wrong. My guess is that he didn't ask/send pictures, but he said some nasty things (dirty talk probably?). Iirc, that is considered sexting.
@@artsho somebody not going to jail for something is not the same as them not doing it, women die all the time over police not acting on whole ass stalkers that they report a dozen times, and you think the same police forces are gonna swat down Doc for being a creep in a girls dms? really?
the only volumes it speaks is how much the justice system fails women who are victims of crimes.
If he didnt know the age of the person he was talking to, that would be his first defence. So I'm convinced he knew he was texting a minor like he admitted.
Silence does not confer innocence or guilt smoothbrain. Using the classic "I didn't know she was a minor I swear" would add more fuel to the fire. Also, be specific with your language - "talking innappropriately" and "sexting" are different things. The fact is that twitch was unable to proove he was inciting sex from a minor and payed him out millions, disprooves the allegation.

Yea, the settlement was Doc wanting to keep it quiet, not the other way around. So he could've said something this whole time, but it was his settlement that was keeping everyone's mouth shut.
@@RealEllenDeGeneres how could the settlement be him trying to keep it quiet and he's the one who got paid? That's not how settlement works lmaooo
@madlad4206 i guess people are saying its because of a technicality in breach of policy in how the situation was discovered by outside parties & then how said information was transmitted to subsequent contracted parties.
@@RealEllenDeGeneresOther way around. Doc gets paid and gets an NDA put on him in exchange for that money, and Twitch gets to not have all the headlines say they harbored a pedophile.
@@imetmikemo182 it doesn’t matter why people are saying it, but it still doesn’t change the fact that he doesn’t decide if the other party wants to pay him to settle
Why aren’t you talking about Cody Ko??
There are no conversations with a minor that go too far “mutually”
she was 17 at the time and theres no evidence that doc knew that beforehand afterall it happened in chat that was supposed to have verified 18+ ppl.
Noppies!
that’s the entire point of distinguishing between minors and adults. legally minors can not give any sort of sexual consent (except for like laws protecting minors with other minors) so even if she thought she was into it at the time, it doesn’t matter at all and that’s not even MENTIONING the power imbalance. this dude is/was one of the most massive streamers especially at the time so even if she was really uncomfortable she probably didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to talk to him.
i’m 100% sure dr disrespect believes what he said about it being mutual but he is so naive for that belief, and imo should not be in the position of power that he’s in. i hope youtube bans him too 🙏
@@ryuined i dont even think its naivité at that point. no way this grown man in his mid 30s thought "yeah theres nothing weird at all about me talking inappropriately with this teenager under 18". i mean the fact that he SAID it was inappropriate!!! that guarantees he wasnt naive, he knew exactly that what he was doing wasnt right. obviously. bc hes not dumb.
@@ryuined a 30-something year old does not get to claim naivety and you certainly shouldn’t be handing it to them
“Say doc, I hear you like em young.”
Normal people aren't tempted to have explicit conversations with a minor lmfao. Bro's defense is really "well it wasn't illegal"
Can’t imagine talking to someone half my age like that. It’s hard enough to even communicate with a 21 year old at work and I’m only 29

Right? Who ever would have guessed the guy accusing others of grooming children was a child groomer the whole time?! Groundbreaking news, atp.
Transphobes stop turning out to be deviants or predators challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
"stop trying to educate the minors on sexuality and healthy bodily autonomy it makes it harder for me to take advantage of them :/"
Two things stand out here.
The allegations say "sexting" not "texting". He admitted it was at the very least "inappropriate."
He did not outright say that he didn't know at the time that they were a minor.
What he didn't say... says it all.
he acknowledged that the person he was texting at the time was a minor in his tweet. what more proof do you need. also, he admitted that the texts he sent were inappropriate and he also made it clear that he did not want to be labeled as a predator or pedophile, so wtf makes u think the inappropriate texts were anything other than sexual???
there are quite literally facts being laid in front of your eyes about how he is guilty in this situation, and you just simply refuse to believe them because you want to continue on being delusional?? please stop trying to stick up for him. he was a 35 year old man engaging in inappropriate conversations with a minor. there is no excuse for that.
dr disrespect woke up in a cold sweat bc of ludwig's video yesterday, he realized he had to confess. another victory for the mogul mailers
Taking a break?! 😂 Bud doesn’t think he’s cooked.
there r already lil boys here defending him lol
Bro the amounts of people defending him saying he didn't know or no crimes were committed were insane..... He has a cult following and it's sad. He should be banned on every platform ever.
Sadly, he is not cooked. Well maybe like a rare cooked steak. But not well done steak. He will have his fans that will still be loyal somehow.
@@dabaers3194yeah, as much as I wish this was an EDP situation it’s probably not going to turn out that way. Doc is kind of like a bank in the aspect he’s too big to fail.

with these people, abusers, its not about the other person being the most attractive or whatever. its about POWER. he didnt get the feeling of power over his wife, so he sought out someone who he had power over. thats why there are a lot of child abusers that arent actually per definition pedophiles - they dont care about that, they just want the feeling of power. and with kids/teenagers, thats often most easily obtained through sexual means, bc the victims are too ashamed to do anything against it or tell anyone. its a tale as old as time ): or at least as old as the catholic church 💀
@@jannecapelle_artIt isn't always about power, and for the wealthy it is almost never about power. They have power, and if they want more there are thousands of avenues to get it using their money. They seek these victims because they seek the taboo. There wasn't an entire island dedicated to rich pedophiles because all of those millionaires and billionaires needed power, but because it offered something so taboo that only they could have it and get away with it. This is the same reason the rich will drink twenty thousand dollar bottles of wine when there's essentially no quality difference between that wine and wine at a twentieth of that price. They do it because they can. The To Catch a Predator predators did it for power, but the rich do it for the taboo of it, mostly. Everyone is different, of course.
I think it's precisely because they can bag even a supermodel that they go for the forbidden stuff. That's why so many people in positions of power end up in these situations.

Gotta be honest Mogual mails setup is so cool. Reminds me of Ludwig’s
His lawyer must be so angry right now that Doc tweeted that.
I just don’t understand if Doc did in fact get catfished with her age. Why is he not saying he got catfished. Never once did he say that. That would save his career. But the fact that he isn’t saying that, leads me and many others to believe he knew she was underaged and kept sexting after that fact.
Yuuuuuuuup. That’s a HUUUGE part of it. If I was ever catfished like that and made some kind of statement about it. THAT SHIT WOULD BE IN THE BIGGEST TEXT FONT SIZE ON EARTH, I WAS CATFISHED!!!!! There might be something in writing about him lying about the situation and if he does lie they can leak the DM’s. If he just leaves out certain details people who still believe in him can still say the catfish thing for him.
And yet, even though it's still not clear, everyone is assuming as they always do.
Maybe he was too horny to back out and think correctly till it hit him that he made a mistake
Nobody from Doc to twitch to Bloomberg has said he was getting catfished. It's literally just people on the internet making it up as they go. Idk why that's even a narrative around this thing
@@StarNBars94 Because some people like him and refuse to believe he's done anything wrong ever. If they were to admit it then they'd feel guilt continuing to watch him, but if they can say "well he was catfished it's not his fault", then they can happily continue watching him like there's no moral issue there
6:58 He actually did it. He inserted the NordVPN ad after that one line

@aquilleswinkler5051 I was more thinking of claiming didn't know other person was a minor and saying when he found out he stopped or when he found out with the ban which if talking about best pr team probably can do this much
What you are saying is still option and let's not forget poeple like sneako and tate still have thier own community and have thier moments now and then
Rule of thumb: even if it’s NOT sexual and NOT inappropriate just don’t fucking text minors
Edit: People have brought up good points, so don’t text minors when you’re thirty five, not related to them, and are meeting them online
well no, that's like 80% of the internet. Not talking to any minors at all for any reason is really dumb.
@@moomoo7614 it isn’t if you’re 35, also I said specifically texting, which is a lot more personal than just tweeting
Dawg the guy you are replying to is probably a minor
I mean you can be friends with minors, it's arguably good for them even. There are people who realized they were being groomed by someone because their adult friend realized what was happening and warned them. Even just having an adult in their life, who can be an example of how a healthy adult/child friendship should look like, helps them understand when something is off in any other relationships they might have
I feel like there’s such a huge stigmatisation of texting minors because of situations like this. It’s completely fine to message minors just don’t be weird
If the messages really weren’t that “inappropriate”, then he should release the messages. I would if I knew they weren’t that bad.
On the other hand, I definitely wouldn’t release them if I knew they were bad…
Imo he shouldn't release them at all, and I'm sure the person he sent them to doesn't want them out in the public sphere either.
I personally would like to see the messages, him saying it's inappropriate is way too vague. He doesn't need to reveal the person, and could even just censor out all of the other person's messages. It would make it pretty clear whether he was actually doing anything reprehensible or if he was just being kinda weird.
@@godlyvex5543 exactly!
@@computertutorials1286 if he says he wasn’t sexting, then why not? We don’t need to see the other parties messages. Redact all but his.
@@joshcantrell8397 I guess it mainly depends on how the other party feels. Inappropriate messages or ones straddling that line aren’t the same as sexting, but could still make them uncomfortable, especially knowing millions will see them.
Honestly, PR wise it’s probably best not to reveal them, loyal fans aren’t going anywhere, and those who’s already deemed him guilty aren’t changing their mind, most of them at least.

I'm 35 right now. I would be the happiest man on earth and I could never think of talking to anyone under 25. And that's really low.
when i was 34 i dated a 21 (then she became 22). it's on a case to case basis imo. she was literally way smarter than me, although my experience makes a lot of difference on dealing with people. but doesnt on flying planes, helis, driving boats, trucks and being a lawyer (she was just the bar exam away) and other shit. she was incredibly smart, no cap.
well, maybe lawyer, i'm pretty good in law stuff.
but i admit this is a rare case
I've said this once and I'll say it again. If someone in hot water has the core defense of "Cmon, you guys know me! I would never!" with little other substance... take it with a whole shaker of salt.
its so insane cause even me as a 19 year old doesnt want to talk to anyone under 18. like how can you be 35 and just not
No fr I just turned 19 and I already would not be comfortable chatting up a 16 yr old
Ur kidding me right? Twitch is full of almost naked woman showing themselves to minors every day? OnlyFans? Chatterbate u think all those subs are above 18…??? And chatting with a minor is not allowed😂
im 16 and idu what's wrong with just talking (no sexting or being weird)

For real tho, I'm 20 and don't chat with anyone under 20 lol
@@rando_guy There isn't anything wrong, inherently. You, as a 16yo, just need to be aware that these interactions should be a little different! It's okay to be friendly with anyone but it should be more on the sibling/guardian vibe than close friend y'know?
I can tell you that as an adult, I'm 28, any interactions with a teen (I have a fair amount of them bc I have a 14yo brother who has friends come around, I go to concerts, I'm in fandom spaces etc) NEVER feel like anything that would develop into a balanced friendship. It's just such an intuitive feeling to set boundaries as an adult and instinctively interact with teens differently that I don't even really know how to explain it. I kind of feel like an aunt, I'm happy to hear about your (not you specifically) school drama, give advice if I have any (depending on the topic I might send you to a teen-appropriate website for info/better resources), talk about your interests, but all with the intention of giving you a positive safe interaction, not with the intention of pursuing a friendship like I might with someone around my age. I'd never be like "omg we have so much in common we should talk more" lol
If it ever feels like an adult is trying to form a deep personal friendship with you, then this is inappropriate. They have no business doing so. They should always be viewing you as a teen, not a peer on their level.
Hopefully that made sense!
He must think of himself as such a badass with that last few paragraphs

What are you saying, exactly, Captain Obvious.
If you have to ask how is he captain obvious@@TubaTones
@@TubaTonesthe horror... Kids having relationships with other kids...
I mean to be perfectly fair, I think that the only time that an adult should have any sort of relationship with a minor is when the minor's parent and/or guardian are present and lucid/involved, or of course when the social contract requires it (school, daycare, babysitting, etc.) It's good for kids to see what healthy and well-adjusted adults are like and to see how they interact with each other, and it's good for kids to feel like they matter in situations where adults are in the room talking. Kids develop the skill to determine when something feels "off" about a situation by being around these healthy adults, and a parent and their friends hanging out can be one such safe environment.
It is a horrible analogy but you can think of it in the same terms as interacting with someone else's pets. It's socially acceptable to ask permission to say hello to or touch someone's pet, to give them a treat, etc, but doing anything without permission to someone's pet is inappropriate and sets off warning flags. People shouldn't be interacting with pets at all without permission/guidance/instruction from the owner first, and there are zero situations in which sexual behavior is acceptable. Now replace "owner" with "parent/guardian" and "pet" with "kid" and it's the same message.
@@DexSybaris if you didn’t understand why I called him that, then that’s a reflection of your ability, not mine.
But anyway, here goes…
I called him Captain Obvious because his original comment is a no brainer. It’s blatantly obvious and something that doesn’t even need to be said, it’s that obvious. It’s like saying “obese people should exercise and stop eating McDonald’s”. Yeah, we all know.
Been a Lud fan since he was an editor on The Reads. I am sure I will be crucified by some for this, but what is the point of this channel? Lud has no problem supposedly calling out social issues, but he remains silent on Cody Ko, which is someone he has collaborated with. D'Angelo Wallace is right in his new video. Mogul Mail and the works (like Moist) exist for good PR. At the very least the allegations need to be addressed, because they are very much real and very much being swept under the rug. To be clear, Lud has nothing to do with the allegations, but if you're going to create an entire commentary channel to address these issues then it IS your responsibility to ACTUALLY address these issues, not just the easy dunks that boost your image.
Silent on Kris Tyson paying for CP while chatting up a 13 year old too
