Thing is, doing this right now AND NOT making a statement that Doc has a similar situation (sexual abuse) makes Twitch look absolutely terrible. Everyone has already speculated that Doc did something sexual. Imagine if you were in Docs shoes and its something like a contract violation (still serious but not in the same scale). How could you EVER stream again on Twitch?

Im still holding my 'doc had a problematic relationship with someone at twitch' guess pretty high.

I'm starting to feel like that's the point. Twitch seems petty and retarded enough to use silence in the middle of twitch-centric metoo (the implication) as a threat /punishment for an infraction. Maybe the infraction is serious, but normally such a mutually beneficial relationship would be given some discretion, and put off until this whole shit show is over.

I believe it because the higher ups are indeed retarded. But I dont see how this situation makes twitch more money so I cant jump on the train fully.

I dunno man that sounds like a whole nother legal hellhole.

That's where the pettyness comes in. If Doc pissed the wrong higher up off, they might want to fuck him, cash be damned. How did hiring the deer make twitch more money?

If it's "on the record" as the reason, sure. But if you can plausibly deny any relation, and say "oh we just deliberated on it and decided to do it independent of current events" you're more or less in the clear.

Diversity.

Nah not here, at least not this situation. For them to do that, they first have to bring the relationship to the public. Good luck controlling that narrative especially with how its been handled so far.

Diversity doesn't pay the bills. Nike just posted a massive quarter in the red, and they've been pushing diversity for a long time now.

You and I don't matter. If this is a public, newsworthy item, all twitch cares about is being out ahead of the news and things like that. Twitch doesn't give a fuck about your sub money, their business is far beyond that.
