Not just a massive audience, massive audiences on Twitch, X, and Youtube. And because his content is very diversified, his audience in turn is also diversified hence why he has more what I call "normie reach" than other content creators.
He built an audience by following the same right wing grift blueprint we've seen like a thousand times. "Epic streamer DESTROYS pathetic libtard" He got lucky because the pendulum is currently on the right side and kids are buying into it because it requires a hell of a lot less empathy and education. He lives in literal filth and had never approached or been approached by a woman prior to becoming rich and garnering a huge audience. He lives a completely apolitical life, in the sense that he sits at home all day every day with little to no human interaction. The idea that topics like trans rights or even general politics matter to him, or that his words carry any weight is laughable. His ideas of what average woman even look like is more so. His home is roach infested. You bet your ass on an average day he reeks. He is the definition of a disgusting. If you watch his content and come away thinking any of his thoughts or feelings have any depth, and aren't just parroted from what he sees his chat or comments saying it says much about you.
Calm down, this kind of unwarranted hysteria is not useful nor is it based in reality.
>Why do you care if he has roaches in his home or that he "reeks" ?Why do you care if he has roaches in his home or that he "reeks" ?
See, it's always people like you that are supposed to be tolerant® that are the biggest insecure, evil-hearted, petty bigots that have to always go with the ad hominem attacks, ALWAYS.
You're not tolerant, you're not better than everybody else, you're just projecting and virtue signaling and frankly, that's so 2020, we've come a long way since then my guy, them internet cookie points have finished.
Also, that projection in the end man...just like my friend Miku said earlier, go grab a mirror...
The level of lack of self awareness with some of you is fucking unbelievable...
>Why do you care if he has roaches in his home or that he "reeks" ?
Because losers are using a man whose single talent was being very good at WoW a decade ago that willingly lives and breathes filth as some odd beacon of morality and culture war.

Nope. Don't pretend to be super tolerant or anything of the sort. And anyway, being tolerant of those whose lives don't effect me in any way shape or form vs being tolerant of a trash man spewing nasty rhetoric about others on a consistent basis despite having 0 social skills, 0 hygiene, and 0 ability to live like a somewhat normal human being in the year 2025 are two different things. I can love my neighbor on the left side of my house whose name I don't know, and hate the guy on the right who lets his dog bark 24/7. 2 different things.
>You're not tolerant, you're not better than everybody else, you're just projecting and virtue signaling and frankly, that's so 2020, we've come a long way since then my guy, them internet cookie points have finished.
Mm nope. I am better than asmongold in almost every objective way. My house stays clean, I bathe regularly, I muster up the energy to throw trash away rather than let it rot, I don't react with negative vitriol and deep emotion at video game trailers for games made by probably like 2 people, I married a human woman and am working on kid #2 atm, and I did all that without being a multi millionaire from one of the comfiest jobs imaginable.
>Also, that projection in the end man...just like my friend Miku said earlier, go grab a mirror...
Mmm normal guy I'm looking at with a fairly productive life, a job that requires a hell of a lot more physical energy yet I don't use a dead animal as an alarm clock by choice.
>The level of lack of self awareness with some of you is fucking unbelievable...
Sure it is. Or maybe asmongold is just a pretty trashy person and if you find yourself consistently agreeing with him, it says quite a bit even if you don't see that yet.
Exactly. People like this always complain that you should not call people ugly, fat etc. Yet they are the first one to attack somebody over looks, body and so on.
Except he does not do any of that. He looks at people trying to promote ugly chicks and asks a reasonable question - "why would you want to look at this fat whale in game when you can do the same outside?" or "would you rather wake with a attractive woman or some ugly monstrocity with a colored hair". It is just a common sense that a certain side has been trying to suppress since 2020 (even before) trying to tell people that ugly, committing crimes etc. is "good and fine" and normalcy is bad. He does not try to own anybody - it just happens that his stance on issue X or Y ends up being a common sense.
According to you he is "willingly lives and breathes filth " and has "a single talent". All while he has more money and influence than you. Where does exactly it put you then?
It's a timeless classic.
The point I was getting at was I don't believe we can conflate the depiction of illegal activities within a game, with a game existing specifically to defend or perpetuate the illegal activity in real life. Nor do I think it is reasonable to take a position that if someone defends the former it is hypocritical if they don't also defend the latter.
Out of curiosity, how are you accounting for his success compared to the other 999?
There are billions of better people than me on this planet: I suck in a ton of ways. Rich folks with more self control and motivation than I could dream of. Asmongold isn't one of those people. He's a loser to his core most being. Still, live and let live and if he kept to own I wouldn't say a word about him. But he sits in his filth and dogs on others publicly. "Disgusting man surrounded by dead animals and roaches absolutely OWNS triggered blue haired liberal on subject of video game tits"
So... you're just upset that he has normie reach while you do not.

Correct. I've been to Canada countless times as a teenager, and even now. It's pretty easy to cross the border with the right documentation. I even know people who live in Canada and work in the US. The border is their daily commute and they've never had an issue.
Most central and south Americans are hardworking religious conservatives oriented to family. It's really not the same thing as whatever European immigration debates are going on. There's isn't much of a culture clash in the US. It's more of a racial clash.

I have roughly zero social media reach in fact. I don't have any active accounts that I post on and never have. So weak argument, next.
Hey first of all thanks brother. Obviously super nervous for number 2 but I have a pretty strong belief you kind of your kid that lifelong best friend. First one was a girl this one's a boy so hell yea.
I just don't see any actual culture clash at all. At most, there are some language barriers. Their kids learn English, go to college, integrate flawlessly. Hispanic voting choices last election and their reasons are a whole other issue I won't really get into but there's polling, and a lot of people making uninformed choices like everyone else. Some anti-woke votes, some economic anti-inflation votes, etc.
No I'm sure I can't find a cause effect relation you would find "solid" in relation to this context. I'm sure even a written statement from the guys that closed their account giving that as the reason would be met with a swift "they are just using that as en excuse, the 650k views video by a huge streamer had 0 effect on a tiny ass studio and game you idiot" so I won't bother.
You could've just said I was right. This is just a sugar coated version of this:
Oh, I didn't read your statement to imply that the game would seek to mislead people, as my statement implied, but if you're saying that is what you meant too then fair enough.
Thank you, I already understood how he felt about GTA and understood the argument against GTA. The difference imo being that GTA does not in fact exist to advocate for violence and theft etc. in real life and I don't believe it causes an increase in those things, whereas this exists specifically to advocate for illegal immigration and to champion those facilitating it. The presentation seemed to be fairly open about this and I think it's likely the devs would not only not dispute this but be proud of it.
So? Events happen and he talks about them. That's what a lot of streamers are about. Simple as that. News media is also talking about it. Reddit is also talking about news. People on forums too. Each with their own spin or take.
Most of the people don't like bald women. Just like you don't have fat men n games in 90%+ of the cases if not more. And yeah MK making characters ugly was a bad idea - who wants to play as a middle aged woman? C'mon. Who wants to play a bald snarky woman (who will probably leave more comments than Atreus or whatever)? People want attractive characters in game - almost evey man in game is either fit or thin for example. Who wants to play as elderly balding fatso unless only for lulz?
I can shit on anybody and I am not trying to pretend like I have a higher moral ground or anything. The reality is - people don't like ugly. Everybody wants to look cool or attractive if it is possible - it is just certain groups have been trying to push the idea that if you are fat you are entitled to adoration, love and treatment the same way as famous, fit or attractive person. And other opinions on that were banned or restricted.
I think this is likely correct in this case. I think it's probably not true for an already higher profile game like AC Shadows or DA Veilguard, but for something like this or even Avowed I think high profile negative attention / drama is likely better than no attention.
>Precisely, because I have critical thinking (plus a certain age and life experience)
I don't even know what was "canceled" here.
Yeah the "game" will still come out. They just went into hiding because people are questioning their motives. Bad look on them. What are they worried people will find out?
That without a border, you don't in fact have a country.
Why hypocrisy? we all have different takes and different feelings on what we think is important.
Yep. And their subscription service is just the ideal vehicle to stuff these things down yr throats without much resistance. You will play it and you will be happy!
Smart!
But are people cancelling the game or not?
Only a postmodern mind would be able to defend such a statement.
