THE FUSE

Once-ubiquitous online game streamer Herschel “Dr Disrespect” Beahm, who was banned from Twitch after sending “inappropriate” messages to a minor in 2017, posted a photo of a media badge on January 26 and said he had been invited to a pre-release hands-on event for the newly released, free-to-play raid shooter Highguard. However, multiple people who attended the event denied seeing him there, and some Reddit users believe his photo was faked with gen AI or Photoshop. And Highguard’s creator manager says he wasn’t invited and didn’t attend.
