The saga of Dr Disrespect continues to unfold before the internet's eyes with high points, low points, and twists and turns galore. With controversial streams, a high profile mysterious ban from Twitch, and tournament bans all in the good doctor's past, the streamer turned his attention to writing an in-character memoir. And now, thanks to the New York Times, there is a new controversy surrounding the book, aptly titled Violence. Speed. Momentum.

The New York Times does have a bit of a history when it comes to misunderstanding the world of video games. In 2005 an article published by the paper accused Animal Crossing of promoting piracy. Nintendo's former Vice-President of marketing Perrin Kaplan actually bothered to reply to the accusation, but anyone familiar with Nintendo's litigious tendencies will know that the gaming giant is perhaps the last company on earth that would promote illegal downloads. Misunderstandings are one thing, though, and claims of out and out scamming a gamer turned writer off the paper's legendary bestsellers list are something else entirely.

Well, that's the exact charge Dr Disrespect has levied against the New York Times. In a NSFW tweet, the streaming personality said, "Hey @nytimes, a book that made Top 15 on your new bestseller list sold under 5k copies. We sold more than that first day of announcing and we didn’t even make the list?" He then goes on to use some colorful language and call the paper a scam. Dr Disrespect recently rage quit and uninstalled Call of Duty: Warzone when frustrated by the game, but there's not much the streamer can do about his New York Times gripe besides tweeting.

One of the apparent requirements for getting a book onto the New York Times' bestseller list is selling over 5,000 copies in one week, and while it's unclear what book Dr Disrespect is claiming sold less than that, or where his information on the matter is coming from, he does seem to have a nominal understanding of the rules associated with making the cut.  However, there are some additional requirements a book must meet when being considered for the New York Times bestsellers list, and it's possible Dr Disrespect's new book simply doesn't meet these prerequisites.

For one thing, the New York Times looks at how diverse the sales are. If a book sells 5000 copies in the first week but the vast majority of those sales come from a single source like a personal website or single Amazon listing, the book will not be included on the list. Dr Disrespect certainly has a passionate fanbase, however, even if Violence. Speed. Momentum sold in the numbers the good doctor is claiming, if most of those sales are coming from the book's Amazon listing and few are being bought in physical bookstores around the States, the book will not qualify.

The New York Times controversy aside, the book appears to be getting generally positive reviews. At the end of the day it just goes to show, while Dr Disrespect may freak out on a stream or accuse the New York Times bestsellers list of being a scam, he can't be kept down for long.
