Twitch star Pokimane says she’s worried for Dr Disrespect’s children after the now-disgraced streamer admitted to ‘inappropriately’ messaging a minor.
Many broadcasters and online entertainers have spoken out on the topic, which has sparked a slew of memes calling out the Doc — including a viral parody of Kendrick Lamar’s song ‘They Not Like Us’ by rapper Packgod.
TwitchstreamerPokimanereacted to Packgod’s diss track during a broadcast after the fallout of Doc’s admission, where she revealed that she’s concerned for his children and the struggles they might face growing up in the shadow of their father’s mistakes.
“Honestly, thinking about how he has kids makes me sad,” she said. “Even watching videos like this. Like, we’re memeing on him, but I’m just so worried that someday they grow up and they see all of this. Girl, that’s a lot to unpack in therapy.”

She also expressed surprise after learning Dr Disrespect’s age, claiming that she’d taken him to be in his mid-thirties — not 42.
“Is he actually 42?” she asked her viewers. “Listen, I’m not saying that like it’s bad to be 42. It’s not bad to be 42. It’s just bad to be that old and behaving a certain way. I did not know that. I thought he was still in his thirties.”
