Dr Disrespect, known as Guy Beahm, erupted into wild laughter upon launching a new game and immediately spotting a Ninja skin appear on his screen.
Following his ban from Twitch in June 2020, the majority of the streaming community distanced themselves from Dr Disrespect after former Twitch employees disclosed the reasons behind his suspension. According to these individuals, Beahm had sent inappropriate direct messages to a minor using the Whispers feature on the platform, which he later acknowledged in a now-deleted tweet.
In a YouTube stream where he returned to discuss the matter, Doc accused Twitch of vendetta, revealing more about the incident. However, many of his closest streaming associates, including TimTheTatman and NICKMERCS, chose to sever ties with him.
On October 8, Dr Disrespect ventured into the new battle royale game ‘Off The Grid.’ He was stunned after customising his character when a promotion for a Ninja skin flashed on his display.
“Oh God,” Dr Disrespect moaned and sighed while looking at the content pack before breaking into uncontrollable laughter.

Before the Twitch ban’s revelations, Beahm and Ninja were on relatively friendly terms, with Ninja even gifting him a pack of his Nutcase drink. However, when Doc was removed by his game development team, Midnight Society, Ninja cut ties with him. “Anything involving a minor, at all, no matter what it is… is not okay. It’s messed up, and it’s illegal,” Ninja stated.

It’s apparent that the relationship between the two former friends is far from cordial, and Ninja is not the only one who has distanced himself from Doc.
Earlier in October, Beahm publicly criticized one of his past allies, claiming they turned against him after the ban, despite having previously guided him in networking with prominent figures in the industry.
Amidst the upheaval, one individual has stood by Dr Disrespect—on October 7, Viss became the first streamer to play alongside Beahm following the Twitch controversy.
