Dr Disrespect sent explicit messages to a minor and deserves 100% accountability for his actions. But he only got to that point because sponsors and business rewarded him for toxic behavior. He's not the only one. Devs and sponsors need to step up and not rewarding professional assholes.

Opinion: Dr Disrespect's ousting should be a wake-up call for devs

Dr Disrespect's sponsors should have seen his behavior coming from a mile away.

This all could have ended in 2019 if everyone collectively agreed that *streaming from a bathroom* was a gigantic violation of privacy and deserved a scorched-earth response.

They get all of the sales while the person is popular, and wash their hands when things get too hot, I don't see why they'd change if the math at the end is a net gain

Excellent read. Couldn’t have said it better myself!

At least some companies did deny him sponsorship deals for games last year, but yeah, it's absurd this wasn't over with years ago.

Yup. 100% bsky.app/profile/omfp...
