After news broke of the self-proclaimed “face of Twitch” being banned, fans quickly reacted. "Just heard the news about @drdisrespect... Yikes! What he did was just STUPID, (Live streamed from a public bathroom) So @Twitch banned him. I understand the ban, but surely it's not permanent?” questioned one fan on Twitter.

Another fan wrote, “That is one of the most unbelievable things I've seen on Twitch. Wow. I like the Doc, but WOW. Totally deserves the ban. I wonder if every single person in those restrooms have a legal case? Let alone the one's standing at the urinals...BEYOND gross. I'm flabbergasted.” 

While many were outraged after the IRL stream, one fan questioned who was to really blame for the illegal incident, tweeting: “The point is if something was to happen on the legal side of things as others say it’s against the law. Who is to blame? Doc obviously wasn’t the one recording, it was someone else.” 

Aside from dedicated fans, popular Twitch stars spoke up after the controversial incident. Turner “Tfue” Tenney tweeted an image of himself wearing sunglasses and a fake mustache, which he captioned, “Free Dr Disrespect." 

No stranger to controversy, Tfue is currently in lawsuit against the FaZe Clan, after he accused the gaming organization of "hindering his business opportunities."

While the internet star showed his support for the fellow internet personality, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins agreed with the streaming app's decision to temporarily ban Dr Disrespect. “It's a no brainer dude," Ninja tweeted. "I love him, but when you break the rules, you get punished. It's that simple."

At this time, neither Twitch has stated when or if Dr Disrespect will be reinstated, and Dr Disrespect has not commented on the situation.
