Guy Beahm, known online as Dr Disrespect, is one of the top video-game celebrities on social media, with 4.7 million YouTube subscribers. He’s worked with the San Francisco 49ers pro football team and been a spokesman for Mountain Dew soda.

He was also banned four years ago by Amazon Inc.’s Twitch for violating its community guidelines. The chat app Discord followed, removing him from its partnership program

The reasons for his banishment from Twitch were never given, but three people with knowledge of the matter said Beahm was removed because he exchanged sexually explicit messages with a minor through the service’s direct chat feature. He also asked a minor about her plans at the TwitchCon convention, according to two of the people, who asked not to be identified discussing such a sensitive matter.

    “Stupid fucking mistakes…”

    All of his gaming buddies seem to be slowly abandoning him… for now anyway. They’re giving guarded responses though like “if he knew it was a minor…” If he didn’t know he would’ve fucking said that! Not that it would excuse his behavior. But he didn’t even offer that light excuse.

    His excuse here though, is literally exactly the same, basically verbatim, that you’d hear from a guy on to catch a predator.

    “I just came over to hang out. She seemed cool!”

    “Did you now she was 14?”

    “14? Uh… no I di-”

    "Quote: her: “hey, I’m 14. Hehe, hope that’s ok” you: “mmm, yeah, I’ll bring extra condoms.”

    “Am… can i go? I want to go now…”

    “Of course. You can leave anytime you want.”

      “I came over to talk, that’s it, I swear!”

      “Quote: ‘I am going to put my blank in your blank’”
