Twitch’s Voldemort – streamers are not allowed to say this name

Almost two years ago, today’s YouTube streamer Dr Disrespect was banned from Twitch. The lengthy one Legal dispute over the ban ended only recently. Both parties agreed to drop the case. After that, some even rumored if the outgoing streamer would return to Twitch. As it turns out, Dr Disrespect is still persona non grata on Twitch. He’s being treated like Voldemort, as evidenced by Twitch’s rules for his own Fortnite tournament.

For one, they suggest that streamers avoid calling Dr Disrespect by name and instead the “two-time” or “Blockbuster video game champion” to use. Also should Hide Doc’s images or videos and mute the in-game YouTuber.

Participants make fun of the rule

The fact that Dr Disrespect is not even allowed to be mentioned during his own event naturally finds the participants extremely strange. Viewers vented their displeasure in a tweet from FullSquad Gaming co-owner Jake Lucky documenting the policy.

“This is the pettiest shit I’ve ever seen,” wrote OpTic ZLaner, a frequent teammate of the banned streamer.

Twitch has severe penalties for streamers who distribute content from other streaming platforms like YouTube or even just mention the names of banned streamers. Dr Disrespect is one of those Voldemorts.
