And yet he will return and continue to make obscene amounts of money for doing absolutely nothing, thanks to a generation of muppets who cannot think for themselves. What a time to be alive!

Doing absolutely nothing. There we go, the jealousy is out of the closet.

Guy was poor, didn't even have heating and lived with his single mom. Streamed all day, everyday, trying to get money for him and his mother and worked his ass off.

If they do nothing, then why don't you guys do nothing and get rich? Oh, right, that's because you can't.

That sounds like the people bitching about rich dudes having wells built in foreign countries because they do it for the cash. Screw them for doing good actions AND making money with it! I just want to feel better because I'm not contributing anything remotely as important to anyone in my life.

 

[Jaybe]

I’m seeing a lot of ‘lol poor’ going on and I guess have at it if it makes you feel better, but I came across this video of his and was struck at how his upbringing and mental state must have been and certainly still has impacts of. It’s a wild listen and in an age where so many people put on their fake best selves for social media, I found his disclosure on his past refreshing in a way. It’s clear he has mental challenges but at least seems to recognize it.

 

[Shadowstar39]

His takes will likely be filtered now so this is probably the beginning of the end of his relevance. No one wants to hear a bunch of softball opinions.

Aparantly a lot of gaf is now woke and hates this dude, wanting him canceled or some shit. I always liked his YouTube opinion reaction videos. I don't watch people playing games so twitch to me is dumb. I play my own games. Don't know why there is so many rabbi cancel culture jerks in here.

 

[Shadowstar39]

Another insufferable retard, incidentally.

Dude you really got a hate boner for this guy jeesh wtf. Lol

 

[Valonquar]

I guess you really really REALLY gotta try hard to get a permaban on Twitch when you bring in that ad revenue

 

[Hrk69]

Dude you really got a hate boner for this guy jeesh wtf. Lol

I actually hate the fucking guy and his talking eyebrows

 

[Andrew Evenstar]

i don't miss dudes.

 

[Stu_Hart]

All that clown does it create drama vids/streams using the echo chambers from other sites/forums in order to rile others up in chat and the comment section. He doesn't moderate his chat properly as well, allowing people to use insults/slurs that would have gotten them banned in other chats. It's not hard to see why he got banned. He is not that good as a gamer whenever he does his playthroughs, and even gives up on games that are too hard to handle at times. There was an earlier stream a while back where there were roaches crawling on him as he streamed. All that $$ earned, and he couldn't even maintain his own place. He is a joke to be honest.

Hard to say. Some dislike him because he's a filthy rich bum, others dislike him because he says shit they hate. He speaks for a very large portion of the gaming community giving 'the wrong side' a huge signal boost, hence the overwhelming amount of venom in this thread.

Agreed with you on playing games rather than watching them. I never understood Twitch culture or the people that watch that shit.

 

[delirium trigger]

The first I saw of him was someone else's video making fun of him cooking a steak. Then I watched him cook a frozen pizza.

He's entertaining and he has something called a personality which the torch and pitchfork crowd always tend to lack.

Or people just hate him because he is (in his own words) an asshole and his content has divulged into reaction content ad nausium. One look at his youtube channel tells you everything about the kind of content that he's been making lately, and this is coming from someone who watched him pretty regularly but it's just so annoying and political now.

People throw the word "woke" at everything now lmao.

 

[VolticArchangel]

 

[GulfCoastZilla]

Hard to feel bad for someone filthy rich that cut off one of their revenue streams with some quotes he probably should have kept to himself.

 

[showernota]

Asmon is an entertaining guy, and a professional troll who can make millions of dollars by just existing in front of a camera. His dark souls run with McConnell is iconic and legitimately hilarious, and the guy is the WoW rain man.

Some of you need to chillax

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I'll just pretend the OP is trolling cause there's no way any of those sentences can be felt by anyone out there.

Also, fuck that guy. What a sad and pathetic excuse of a human being.

???

"He is entertaining, therefore he can say whatever wack shit and you can't push back at all even if he's being dead serious and not trying to be funny in order to pander to a certain political group. even when the outcome of that is people being okay with tens or hundreds of thousands of people dying at the hands of their own tax dollars."

certainly a take of all time

Nah dude you don't get to use the "woke" card every time someone is banned from something. Not something like this. You need to be held accountable for everything you say or do, SPECIALLY when you have an audience...and an audience that isn't filtered with kids or teenagers. Also..being banned for 2 weeks, lmao. I'm sure he'll be brand new after that.

Places like Twitch or Youtube give guys like this a platform and it's a huge problem. We have a generation of kids growing up listening to pieces of garbage like this or even worse, people like Andre Tate and then idolize them.

And before someone compares this with...i don't know, "on our days people were blaming Marylin Manson or videogames for shootings"...it's nothing like that. We have kids growing up and watching these guys live every...single...day like they are their friends.

All this will bite us in the ass in a few years / decades, trust me. Parents have no idea who their kids are watching nowadays. Information isn't filtered in any way and there's no way to stop this. It's a huge problem with no end in sight.

 

[delirium trigger]

It wasn't until the social justice nazis came along that we had to start lying to ourselves and start pretending the sky isn't blue.

This actually has me scratching my head seeing those reactions. I saw some of the clips and etc. The reaction is way overblown. Really surprised by how overblown it is here though. Sure he isnt free of consequence and he openly acknowledges that.

 

[Auto_aim1]

I sometimes watch his stuff on YouTube though. I really like his streams.

 

[Ironbunny]

lol fucking mao

Isn’t that filthy humanoid keep all day whining about the woke and dei and all that grifter bullshit?

edit. Politics. I self censor

 

[Ironbunny]

I actually hate the fucking guy and his talking eyebrows

Dont worry. If he stops streaming he will still be rich. He actually has other company's.

 

[Hrk69]

I'm not worried.

Asmongold should be worried. Just look at the guy.

He's decomposing while alive.

 

[nbcjr]

Should have been permanently banned

 

[Boss Mog]

So he wouldn't tow the line on Palestine, I guess that's a banable offense on Twitch now.

 

[DanEON]

Lol, all this hate towards him makes me like him even more.

 

[DanEON]

Lol, no. He will brake twitch when he comes back.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Wishing death on innocent civilians, mostly children, is kind of frowned upon by normal people.

Expected more of him tbh, but at the same, this isn't surprising at all.

I'll leave it at that.

Did he wish death upon them on some clip?

 

[Arsic]

A grown ass man with insane mental issues put on a pedestal with constant shit takes is someone you miss? The dude isn’t sorry lol.

The man openly talks about taking his own life. Lives in filth and tries to justify it. Lost most of his teeth to rot and tries to justify it. He’s a massively depressed person who needs serious therapy and is the definition of “living on the internet.”

Oh and he’s shit at games to boot. Why anyone is obsessed with this retard is beyond me.

 

[Arsic]

It’s clear he has mental challenges but at least seems to recognize it.

Bro he makes a video like this once a year for boo hoos, and “hold me accountable”, I’m going to do better, and nothing changes.

If any of these streamers who call him a friend have a fuck he would’ve been sent to a mental therapy resort with all the money he has to figure out working through his deep seeded issues and getting on pills. This guy has clear chemical imbalances that therapy alone couldn’t fix.

He doesn’t have the balls to get his shit together. He doesn’t care if he dies tomorrow. He’s just a retard with a podium to sucker in other retards to fund his horrible self destructive life style.

 

[kikii]

while hes an ass, he gots a point of saying what he said

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Did he wish death upon them on some clip?

"They have genocide in Sharia Law, they deserve to be genocided"

That is pretty much a literal quote. Whether or not anyone agrees with that statement, there was going to be a strong reaction to comments like that.

I don't even know what that has to do with all the innocent civilians that are getting bombed, or with Palestinians specifically.

Anyway, this is not the place for an in-depth discussion about the Israel-Palestine conflict, so if you don't mind...

 

[zkorejo]

He called an entire race of people inferior... And he said innocent people deserve to die because their culture is inferior to his. You live with cockroaches you dumb fuck.

 

[nemiroff]

To be honest, I've been expecting for something like this to happen.

He's been gradually shifting to a particular side. And lately his rhetoric appeared more and more similar to people I can't stand..

I'm saying that as someone who's been a subscriber for years btw. I'm no hater of his.

 

[Stu_Hart]

Did he wish death upon them on some clip?

He obviously posted a falsehood, linking it to religion, and then got his chat/comment section riled up to post more hate stuff.

I did some light research and found this. Taken from Britannica site:
"jihad, in Islam, a meritorious struggle or effort. The exact meaning of the term jihād depends on context; it has often been erroneously translated in the West as “holy war.” Jihad, particularly in the religious and ethical realm, primarily refers to the human struggle to promote what is right and to prevent what is wrong."

I'll leave it at that as I don't want to delve further into this. Hope that helps.

Just ban any form of social media from the face of the earth except forums.

Cant argue about the word Jihad as I know nothing about Islam or the words actual meaning. I can only perveice its effects on the world and over the the people it is forced upon.

 

[StueyDuck]

From what I understand he did act like a proper chop.

But then I also know there's some hypocrisy with twitch considering that Hasan chop has done exactly the same shit but on the other team and gets away with it.

I fall on the side of twitch is full of cunts both on stream and behind the scenes and it all needs to go or be seriously reworked.

Forced upon what? There are secular muslims all over the world too, you know?

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Not to mention that there are thousands Palestinian and Lebanese Christians being bombed and shot as well.

And now I'm really out.

Let's not get ridiculous. What he said was stupid.

Not nazi rhetoric.

Let's not be like resetera and water down what the nazi party is so we can just call anyone we don't like a nazi

DIdnt he literally say one race is worse than another?

I didnt watch the video.

He is trying to make a political statement but is doing a shit poor job.

Essentially saying that you shouldn't feel bad for a culture crying victim when their entire philosophy is causing death.

It's a retarded, non nuanced take on a topic that isn't gaming or social media so he's rightfully being made fun of and being banned.

But he's not saying non white people are bad.

(Also there's the fact that Hitler was notoriously friendly with Islamic and Arabic leaders, so what he said wouldn't be in line with nazi thinking, but we won't go the history route here)

 

[TheKratos]

No, its about a complete human tragedy in which both sides are shit on differing levels. You act as this was new thing, which it isnt, so calm down and read up on what and why the fuck this is going on.

Calm yourself down first with that passive aggressive reply. Don't need to lecture me about this topic, I'm not asking for it nor do I need it.

I am purely talking about the terrible ass comments of Asmongold, you don't need to be a genius to know those comments are horrible, there's no "but" in this.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

I wish they would just play video games and shut the fuck up about anything else. If you start throwing your opinions around when discussing sensitive topics then you're going to obviously piss someone off, it's not worth throwing your career away for.

 

[Cakeboxer]

His let's say special breed of fans won't give a shit. But i guess he can say goodbye to some sponsors and partners now.

Maybe the filthy shitbag should keep his mouth closed about shit like this, when he lives in a house where his literal blood is smeared on the wall because he was too lazy to grab a paper cloth.

Fuck him
