TheBurntPeanut has been on a monumental glow-up this year. His escapades on games like Escape from Tarkov and ARC Raiders have propelled him to superstar status, and during a recent ‘streamer battle’ on the latter title, he secured a concurrent viewer count of almost 100,000 people, a number seldom secured by any streamer.
During a recent stream, TheBurntPeanut, who literally streams as an animated peanut, slammed Dr Disrespect and his followers after a slew of comments arose about him ‘moving in’ on Dr Disrespect’s territory.
TheBurntPeanut and Dr Disrespect Beef Explained
TheBurntPeanut has, in his words, been ‘making jokes’ about Dr Disrespect since ‘day one’. This all goes back to Dr Disrespect’s immense controversy in 2024, which saw him admit to messaging a minor on Twitch years ago, which ultimately led to his permanent ban from the platform.
In the months that have followed, Dr Disrespect, who has since returned to streaming and maintains a solid following, has preached his innocence on numerous occasions.
TheBurntPeanut is at times a scandalous creator who has had to bite his tongue to avoid making ‘cancel-worthy’ statements, but where Dr Disrespect is concerned, it’s open season for the vtuber.
The most recent comment from TheBurntPeanut wasn’t at all veiled and was borderline inflammatory:
I’ve been making jokes since day one about Dr Disrespect, I think they think since I’m big now I’m encroaching on his territory.
I’m on ARC Raiders not the playground, you got nothing to worry about!
Here’s the full clip:
TheBurntPeanut is up for streamer awards after a year of immense success that has pushed him to the forefront of the industry. He’s incredibly entertaining and has already gained a cult following, which means comments like this do not go unwitnessed.
