Dr Disrespect Joins Right-Wing Streaming Platform Rumble
Controversial video game streamer Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm has made headlines once again by officially joining the right-wing streaming platform Rumble. This move comes after Beahm admitted earlier this year to engaging in “inappropriate” conversations with a minor several years ago, leading to a series of repercussions across various online platforms.
The Details of the Deal
According to a press release from Rumble on November 25, Dr Disrespect will be receiving equity and serving as an advisor for the “alt-tech” platform. As part of the agreement, Beahm will be providing exclusive content to Rumble Premium for his loyal ‘Champions Club’ community. Additionally, he will be taking on the role of leading Rumble Gaming and assisting in building the Rumble Gaming community.
Beahm’s Future on Rumble
Beahm’s first stream on the new platform is scheduled for December 2, marking a significant shift in his streaming career. This decision comes after YouTube rejected Beahm’s request to reinstate his channel partnership, which was demonetized over the summer due to past misconduct leading to his ban from Twitch in 2020. Despite this new partnership with Rumble, the deal does not specify exclusivity, leaving the possibility open for Beahm to continue streaming on other platforms.
Rumble: A Controversial Platform
Rumble, founded in 2013 as an alternative to YouTube, gained prominence in 2020 during the global pandemic and the rise of an anti-vaccine movement. The platform has hosted various online personalities, including those shunned from traditional forums due to allegations of misconduct. Rumble’s founder, Chris Pavlovski, has emphasized the platform’s commitment to free speech and diverse opinions, positioning it as a haven from cancel culture.
In conclusion, Dr Disrespect’s partnership with Rumble signals a new chapter in his streaming career, bringing his content to a platform known for its controversial stance on free speech and alternative views. As Beahm navigates this new venture, it remains to be seen how his presence will impact Rumble’s gaming category and whether this move will help reshape his public image in the eyes of his fans and critics alike.
