It's happening in the US right now with people having their lives ruined for wrongthink, even if it's completely unrelated to Nazism. If you're too blind to see it then it's not my problem.

any chance you can give an example of that in the UK?
Soldato
also examples of this would be interesting to see

You've completely contradicted yourself in the space of two replies here.....but it is re-assuring that you are able to tell the difference between actually nazi idealogy, and genuine free speech issues. Phew.

Has Juan Tap, Two Time, World green screen champ announced anything yet? or is it all the fault of the mighty liberals at Twitch.tv.
Interesting video from a lawyer.
TLDW - If Doc wanted to partner with Shroud and Ninja then Twitch could have reported it as a breach of contract but they didn't. Instead, what makes better sense to him is Twitch wanted out of the Doc contract since Shroud and Ninja are now available and they are more clean-cut.
The Doc contract was created at a time when Mixer seemed like a real threat, so was likely a very lucrative contract to keep a big streamer, and now that threat has disappeared. There are some interesting terms in the Twitch ToS that give them a lot of power and they can essentially ban you if they don't like you, see 26:50.
As the 1st comment says under the video that this would create mistrust with all streamers on Twitch, but maybe being the somewhat monopoly they are they can get away with it.
Anyway, it's all speculation.

The thread should stay as Dr Disrespect is a very prominent figure in gaming. The Gab and Freedom of speech thing going on has completely derailed the thread and should probably be taken elsewhere.

I wouldn't go that far. I've been gaming since, well let's just say I was playing on the VCS2600 a few days after it first released, and I've only just recently heard of this fella.

Whether you like him or not the facts are somewhat undeniable. There's only a handful of streamers that have more consistent viewers. I'll be honest the guy grates on me (even though I know it's an act) but to say he's not well known in the online gaming world is simply wrong.
Being well known in one section of the online gaming world doesn't make someone well known generally in gaming.

If Dr Disrespect isn't well known in gaming, who is?

Who do you think they named them after?
Soldato
God knows. I've never heard of this person
No idea, assumed it was a generic gaming brand thing.
Fatal1ty's hey days are long since past though I am surprised how many older gamers aren't aware of the name.
Obligatory I fragged fatal1ty video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNj2F_0EawE
