Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm broadcasts as a fully-realized fictional character (“Dr Disrespect”) — mustache, mullet wig, sunglasses, scripted bits — that he has maintained since 2015. He was one of Twitch’s most popular FPS streamers until his permanent ban on June 26, 2020. In 2024 former Twitch employees publicly alleged the ban stemmed from inappropriate direct messages to a minor on the platform. Beahm acknowledged the messages while disputing the characterization, which resulted in his being dropped by multiple sponsors and his game studio.
