he's one of gamings biggest streamers and commentators and this is a gaming forum so it made sense to me. I am frankly surprised that many of the posters on gaf don't like him.

Asmongold talks. A lot. Too much, given what he got banned for. I find it hard to take him seriously when he's a grown adult who has not gone to seek help for what are clearly deep-seated mental issues and allows his room to reach that state.

Also:

I won't get into the politics of it, I am just going to say that I wish Zack the best. He is one of twitches biggest streamers and the only reason I ever used it. I hope Elon Musk buys twitch. I just hope he takes a much needed brake but comeback roachman.

 

[Mortisfacio]

Meanwhile Hasan has praised actual Houthi Pirates and said wild things, but he's fine. Interesting.

 

[March Climber]

I gotta say that I don't feel the need to understand this idiocy, just like I don't have to understand people who are into feet.
I'll stick to putting threads like this on ignore, but thank you anyways.

 

[jm89]

I thought he was trolling with his filthy living act.

But then a cockroach shows up on his stream

With the millions his got stashed away just get a cleaning lady ya bum.

 

[Bernoulli]

Fuck roach boy

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I don’t follow him much but he also seems like a pc master race dude too right?

No idea how he blew up so much other than he looks like the unibomber

 

[violence]

Well he said last month his mental health and over all health was poor. He really needs to seek help. The guy is a millionaire but can't find the time or effort to clean up. He's friends offered to help or even find a good company to help out bit he didn't want to.

Please, it's so the hardcore WoW players can still relate to him. The rest of his mansion is cleaned by a team of maids imported from Akihabara.

 

[strike670]

Maybe he can use this time away to clean his disgusting house and take some of that money and hire a remediation crew.

The place should be condemned as a public health threat.

 

[Jesb]

Who?

 

[Chiggs]

I somehow missed all this drama. My initial thoughts:

1.) He's a moron.
2). He's at least an accountable moron.
3.) I'd still like to see this lazy SOB work a real job.
4.) And work that job preferably somewhere in the Gaza Strip.
5.) Please gain some fucking weight.

BTW it's not about politics but basic human rights and not wanting to see people being killed everyday for decades

You want Elon musk to buy twitch just so he can allow more shit like this like he did on twitter

 

[Kacho]

I don't watch twitch, but I liked his youtube content. I think that was more filtered than what goes down on twitch. Perhaps he needs to just stick to edited youtube, that way he can still go hard but think about exactly what he said before releasing it. It would be a shame if he stopped, he is one of the very few video game content creators I actually watch.

Same for me. I only consume his content on YouTube, I assume most of his audience is in that boat because who sits there and watches Twitch streams all day? He’s by far the most tolerable talking head on YouTube, the rest can go in the trash IMO. After this drama I expect his content to be neutered and boring.

 

[pudel]

How this guy has any success baffles me

He is authentic. He doesnt beg for money (his twitch account is basically unmonetized), he doesnt sell out. He just says what he thinks.

Its sad to see him bending the knee, because that means a victory for the clown world.

 

[Aenima]

He is a cockroach of the medium. And I’m not talking about his room. He is often stole the wind from many way more talented creators with his dumb takes over other people’s videos.

Good riddance.

What you might not know is that most youtubers feautured in Asmongold videos get a huge boost of viewers and followers after Asmond reacts to them. Even recently he reacted to a video where the creator of the video asked Asmond to react to it.

And this is the main reason i watch Asmond videos, even if i dont always agree with Asmond comentary, you get to discover alot of very good youtuber content through Asmongold channel that otherwise you would probably never found out.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Meanwhile Hasan has praised actual Houthi Pirates and said wild things, but he's fine. Interesting.

Hasan is way worse than Asmongold. Trust fund baby larping as a revolutionary political activist.

At least Asmon reminds me of like a friend I would have in middle school in the roach infested body of an adult.

 

[evanft]

No one should care about anything a Twitch streamer says or does. Donating to one should disqualify you from voting.

 

[TwiztidElf]

I'm not ashamed to say I like his usual content, but yeah a really bad take, and that door has closed for him.
I'm sure he'll be fine on another platform though.

 

[EviLore]

Meanwhile Hasan has praised actual Houthi Pirates and said wild things, but he's fine. Interesting.

The guy who said America deserved 9/11, right? Twitch streamers sure are a classy bunch.

 

[Lethal01]

We aren’t supposed to do cancel culture here.

Yes we are, if there is someone that doesn't support cancelling the like of pedophiles and such then fuck em, sometimes people gotta go.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Looking at the way he lives even the cockroaches are grossed out by him.

Praising pirates or thinking that people are not people because they are inferior... Same thing... interesting...

This guy is a jimmy riddler?

This guy said 9/11 was good and he wasnt banned at all. We all know why. Asmon may say a lot of shit, but there are far worse ppl on twitch that are immune.

 

[March Climber]

Streamers fumbling the bag is always hilarious to me. If they just stuck to their actual genre they'd be fine, you can even be a complete asshole.. just don't talk politics, religion, race... and enjoy your millions.

The issue with some streamers, youtubers, and influencers is that they're having a hard time adjusting to the current meta of content, which is politics, drama, dating rage-bait, and most of all, negativity/hate.

Those four get the big numbers and when you grift hard enough on any of the three, you'll find yourself with a huge audience of at least 30k to 100k (if they find you relatable or entertaining enough). Unless you're one of the older grandfathered-in content creators, the happy/positive stuff normally has not been catching as many views anymore (arguably since this decade began).

People seem to prefer the negative in today's world which is one of the reasons why I also took a bit of a step back in my internet usage. This stuff has rabbit-holed a fuckton of people and they aren't even aware of it.

 

[Eesha]

Meh, never watched his stuff, always feels like a leech that steal content for other people.

 

[Drew1440]

I guess that means he's going over to Kick now?

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Praising pirates or thinking that people are not people because they are inferior... Same thing... interesting...

Asmon's a grifting retard who just says dumbshit. Hasan's an unhinged commie who'd happily join up with Hezbollah or Hamas if he wasn't a little bitch

 

[Tajaz2426]

What TV show is this? Some of us do not watch to much TV or have any idea who the actor is.

Could I get some context and the story that got it canceled?

Edit: it is apparently a person from folks replies. Who is this may I ask? Also still what happened?

 

[chokotoureiki]

I don't think he's a bad guy. At least he's still relevant unlike Greg from Kinda Funny.

Miss? Wasn't it a 2 week ban or something? You can survive until then.

They're both pieces of shit but at least Asmon has the ability to recognize that he's a piece of shit and needs to better himself.

Hasan, on the other hand, needs someone to punch him square in the jaw.

 

[Aenima]

Ppl always been like that. Even before youtube existed, the News media was always 90% negative news (Crime, wars, scandals, etc) and about 10% positive news.
If anything youtube changed that for the better where you find alot of fun content.

But yes, theres nothing like controversies to bring in the clicks/ views. Also reason why some videogame websites turned into activist blogs.

 

[Jinxed]

You could see him spiralling down that rabbit hole for a while now. He basically just basks in negativity these days.

Ever since his mom died. He did a video a while ago about his mental health. Basically stating he went as far as eating mouldy leftover food. Also said he didn't kill himself because wrath of the litch king expansion came out etc..

I'll just say he needs help, won't kick someone's already down, I don't even know what happened and I'm just avoiding dramas these days

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Meanwhile Hasan "America deserved 9/11" is still on twitch. So fuck twitch is what I'm saying

 

[Kings Field]

Next time he should insult straight whites/Europeans. He will get promoted by Twitch.

 

[Edgelord79]

Why cant these people be normal is all Im gonna say.

You try spending your entire day being someone else on camera for the adulation of thousands. See if you can still be normal.

I mean if any of them are normal (whatever that means) then that would probably be the exception.

 

[ap_puff]

If your career is sitting in front of a mic for hours and hours a day delivering stream of consciousness autism you are gonna say some wild shit every now and then. I don’t think Asmon is a bad guy. He’s a shut in with some kind of mental illness who has no lived experiences like a well adjusted adult should. He should get his act together and start streaming MMOs again or something.

 

[Kacho]

He should get his act together and start streaming MMOs again or something.

That’s how I first found him. When he was relentlessly shitting on the state of World of Warcraft 7-8 years ago.

 

[West Texas CEO]

He always struck me as a barely-literate turbodork with bad hygiene and poor life skills outside of being a computer-toucher. Which is why his fanbase identifies with him so strongly I guess, he's one of them.

how dare you

Any time you say that a group of people should be wiped out because they're "inferior" should set off huge red flags and alarm bells lol. That's not just autism or being a shut in, that's signs that you're getting radicalized into some really weird shit because either you hang out with weirdos or you're mentally unstable. The problem is tens or hundreds of thousands of people listen to him and incorporate his takes into their own internal dialogue.

 

[EN250]

He went off on a rant about the Israel/Palestine crisis after videos went viral about some kids being burned alive at a hospital or something. Saying he doesnt care about them and if they get genocide, he couldnt give a fuck. also called muslim culture inferior because of their views on LGBT.

he was banned from twitch last night for 14 days.

Today he made a video on youtube apologizing for his behavior saying that he's turned into a meaner version of himself that he doesnt like. He will be cleaning his room, visiting other countries and just try and be a less negative person going forward. he didnt like what he saw when he watched his own video.

Only problem is that his fanbase is extremely toxic and they dont like this about face and him going mellow. Hence the OP complaining despite his ban only being just 14 days. OP knows that when he comes back, he wont be leading a crusade against game devs and other culture things they despise. The other side doesnt believe in his apology and simply wants him cancelled.

His fanbase is as flick as any other fanbase from these streamers, those breathing "politics" 24/7 can move on to the other idiot groomz or whatever he's called so he can keep being an edgy contrarian and grifter who searches for anything to ignite controversy and monetize it

 

[near]

Asmongold has always been unhinged with he's comments and had become a hard internet personality to cancel. This one feels a little different though.

 

[damidu]

but why

 

[Blackage]

Honestly he just needs to delete/stop reacting to his reddit, shit is Kotakuinaction 2.0, was only a matter of time before he reacted to something that made him say something that got him cancelled. He's a useful idiot for creating soundbites for those types.

 

[Puscifer]

People here dislike streamers because they'd rather play games than watch people play them. You gotta remember a lot guys here are 30+ and 40+ and were relics of the old Internet that doesn't exist anymore. I appreciate GAF being around because there isn't many places that aren't Reddit or Meta driven social media these days to discuss interest.

 

[Calico345]

Good riddance. Now maybe he will have time to wash his clothes and take care of those dingy collars.
