I normally quite like asmond but he just showed his entire ass with that response and attitude.
These streamers don't fool me. They might look like cunts, act like cunts, talk like cunts, but underneath it all I know that despite all superficial appearances they really are cunts.Oh look Twitch ‘content creators’ who are cunts,act like cunts…Big fucking surprise…I hate all these fucking people, you know which Youtubers/Twitch streamers actually ‘CREATE’ content? People like Miscast,or Boylei Hobby Time,CTG, building dioramas and models etc, you know for the LOVE of the hobby not low effort cash grabs propped up by mentally ill dents and whales…Ugh shame DSP couldnt be implicated here too as well…
Even youtubers, I saw how different they behave in front of camera and with visitors, they tend to be worse than the average person morally, you could tell the camera is their escape generally speaking, even the comment section on these videos you notice no one reacting to the streamer strange behavior, like he's in total control with what you see he's doing versus what he wanted you to see from him.Not really shocking, a lot of streamers are not really nice people. It took me a long time to find my group of streamers i watch.
Having said that, i'd be surprised if Asmongold is knowingly involved in this. The guy doesnt really seem to care that much about money, and lives like a slob really.
I'm curious as to the context of the clip.I normally quite like asmond but he just showed his entire ass with that response and attitude.
“Somebody makes an allegation against me and now somehow I have to respond to it? No!”
Sure, it’s your prerogative, but if it’s not true, say that it’s not true. Start there.
Charity drives raise a lot of money because they’re intended to go to a good cause, not your checking account.
Unrelated (sorta), but i gotta say i got a lot of enjoyment out of when dream got himself a new asshole torn by the VA of fucking GUMBALL of all people after the recent allegations of him being true to the path of a “minecraft content creator”*When youtubers personalities become stereotype, I think this is the end of the platform, seriously.
The charity has to be paid too. it needs to pay staff, probably needs money for financing things like advertisement/reachout, an endowment, etc. it's not that crazy.
These streamers are already famous and connected to a large audience, and therefore don’t need a middleman organization to accomplish similar fundraising outcomes. I’ve seen smaller streamers raise seven figures solo for charity with sufficient effort. Their reward was a substantial increase in audience and good will which netted them plenty on its own.
Quite right, cant stand them at allThese streamers don't fool me. They might look like cunts, act like cunts, talk like cunts, but underneath it all I know that despite all superficial appearances they really are cunts.

Exactly.Just like the completionist, and his family charity. This isn't anything new. Most charities work in this middleman manner. Where more than half of the donations go to the operation of the charity and the "awareness" it creates. You are not paying to help anyone or anything. You are donating to a company and public facing influencers to create awareness.
Don't donate to something you don't know where the money is going to. And yes, it does take a special shitty person to use dieing kids to make money
True, they don't. But I'm not sure if it's really fair to get on the streamers' case as part of a "scam" if the charity itself is the one that hired the middleman in order to organize everything on the charity's behalf. Then the criticism would lead to - "I prefer it when a charity raises money in a way where a larger percentage of the proceeds go directly to fund the mission".
Anime localizer drama forces his hand.
Maybe, we will see. It’s best not to draw conclusions and let things play out.This should be updated for the thread.
So IMO they are in the clear. Clearly softgiving did some shady shit and now there’s a lawsuit lol.

Sorry that this is not quite on topic...but why the hell do people watch that Asmongold guy? …..he lives like a slob
That’s fair. I don’t follow anyone here but Tectone and Emiru who I believe(?) are still members of OTK but I only follow their solo content. I’m hoping they have nothing to do with this shit but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Okay, I might be wrong (and I never finished watching the whole video), but wasn’t that “house tour” not his actual home he lives in? Like, it’s his childhood home he still owns, I’m not sure if he frequently sleeps/works there if at all. Granted, he should hire someone to clean it and clear out all that junk and such, but still, unless there’s been a video showing his own main house, I don’t think we can judge how he personally lives. Mind you, I’m not a fan of him either, but I’m not for judging the guy unfairly.
I do love that part of the video where he opens the oven and finds old food he just forgot about in there and IIRC both Tectone and Emiru simultaneously turn to the camera with a “WTF?!” look.

This is really messed up too. Apparently she started getting doxxed and death threated because of some line of dialogue from some anime from 2017? People are putting a blame on her when they don't realize that anime, especially ADR scripting, writing, translations, etc. go through multiple people. It doesn't all just fall on one person. I almost feel like this was brought up to shift focus from the other stuff.
Apparently she's been doxxed and harassed for quite sometime, so I wouldn't be surprised if enough if enough, you know? Twitter just being Twitter unfortunately. But that's the thing, writers can write whatever they want. It still has to go through a process of review, editing, finalizing, etc. Changes can be made where they feel is necessary, warranted, etc. Same goes with translations. It's not like one person just does whatever they want and it's finalized, it doesn't work that way. If anyone is at "fault" it's not on a single person, it's on the studio(s).I'm pretty sure the fact that she keeps working on projects that always end up with some..
Interesting changes to scenes while also consistantly telling everyone on twitter that questions the... intresting choices that their right wing bigots and incels certainly helped in reducing the flow since 2017. She's a prime example of why I think many companies are moving to AI, because if the translators are going to change the context, what benefit are they?
She worked on 13 sentinels by the way
And even when out of work consistantly defends every massive change to a character translators make as long as its "progressive"
Not saying death threats are warranted but if you consistantly put yourself in the public eye you always yet them... her entire career appears to be doing a bad job and antagonising people when it's pointed out even if its not her stuff.

Five of Twitch’s most-watched men are sitting in front of a long, white table inside the living room of an Austin, Texas, home. Over the next eight and a half hours, Asmongold, Mizkif, Esfand, Nmp and Rich Campbell will unbox some of the rarest Pokémon cards in the world, worth thousands of dollars.
By the end of the eight and a half hours, the five men raised more than $600,000 for Games for Love, a Washington state-based charity focused on video game distraction therapy for terminally ill children. Before 2020, the charity had never raised more than $50,000 in a single year, according to tax records. But then, when those five members of OTK led more than 37 influencers who ran campaigns for it throughout the next two years, it raised nearly $2 million in donations.
Yet, according to public records, almost half of that money never went to charity.
Behind the scenes, an Atlanta-based marketing company called Softgiving played middleman between the charity and a who’s who of Twitch and YouTube—the likes of OTK, Ludwig Ahgren, aDrive, JustaMinx and other influencers both big and small. And Games for Love wasn’t the only beneficiary.
In 2020 and 2021, Softgiving and those influencers raised a total of $6.2 million in donations, according to publicly available tax records. Yet $2.6 million of that—roughly 42 percent—went to Softgiving to cover its commission and expenses, including influencer fees, those public records show.
In the course of this investigation, The Jacob Wolf Report conducted more than a dozen interviews with influencers, their agents and managers, non-profit industry leaders, academics, attorneys, accountants, competing brand marketing agencies and the charities themselves, many of whom spoke on the record. We also examined more than 250 pages of documents, including public tax returns, partnership contracts, correspondence and web archives for many streams that occurred over that two-year period.
Softgiving compensated itself with roughly $2.6 million of the donations—or approximately 42 percent of the money raised—according to public tax records. The company declined to comment on how much of that went to its bottom line, versus how much of it went to the influencers when asked.
I would be surprised too. I like some of his content and agree he doesn’t seem to care too much about material possessions. However, I don’t think he can use ignorance as an excuse. His dad worked for the IRS and Asmon himself has a business degree (possibly with an emphasis in accounting), so he should have known to his due diligence. I’d like to see these streamers cut ties with charities that use middlemen and make a donation to offset the fees that were taken.Not really shocking, a lot of streamers are not really nice people. It took me a long time to find my group of streamers i watch.
Having said that, i'd be surprised if Asmongold is knowingly involved in this. The guy doesnt really seem to care that much about money, and lives like a slob really.
So dad sounds like an asshole, this is why people hate boomersHad an older neighbor in Indiana who lived in a dump and it was pretty disgusting in his house
Am very good friends with his son who approached me about possibly buying his dads place when he passed so Kim and I went to kind of look at the house which needed a match set to it
The son always said his dad worked hard his entire life and had a lot of old German money (which is very common in my area as many are descendants from Germany who fled during WW2 and many were wealthy then)
When it came time for his will reading he left his entire fortune of around 9 million dollars to the local Monks and nothing to his son
Never underestimate how much people value money no matter how they live
Its sad how many people scam charities
My wife and I love to help/donate to humane societies and one we worked with for years their director was recently fired for skimming money from the society for personal use for family vacations
I don't really agree with this, and it feels like a lot of people are making a lot of assumptions.You think the streamers didn't know about the fees they would get before hand? A charity stream is meant to be for the charity not bank rolling yourself.
She has said she is responsible for that dialogue before, and she has bragged about making changes like that. Not that I think people should go at her directly for it or anything, if you don't like it, voice your complaints and then vote with your wallet imo.This is really messed up too.

I’ve got bad news for you pal… that’s his house now. His mom passed but that’s where he lives.
He is a degenerate through and through.
As someone who watched him for a long while before noping out he is clearly undiagnosed with lots of mental depression and likely worse. He lives in filth, refuses to eat remotely healthy, and has no hygiene. He has a few teeth left due to dentists removing the rotten ones.
This is a guy who drinks only soda day in day out and refuses to eat any greens or fruits. It’s all just fast food, and trash steaks he cooks at home. Everyday.
He has a clip where he states he’s happy with how he lives because he could opt to go in the other room and cut his own throat but decides not to…. His words not mine.
No one in his circle is getting him the help he legit needs, and it’s laughed off.
I have 0 pity for him. He has all the money in the world to better himself and those around him but opts to remain a degenerate. His mom passing pushed him into a further spiral of depression and more of not taking care of himself in the slightest.
His mom died in a pretty fucked way too but draws you a picture. I recall him saying she was having trouble breathing , was using an oxygen tank and refused to go to the hospital, and lit a cigarette causing a massive fire and giving herself severe burns. You need to put into perspective he’s been raised on this life style of don’t go to doctors, ignore your body , and making dumb decisions.
This is not a man to idolize or cheer on. It’s all sad and pathetic.
Apparently she's been doxxed and harassed for quite sometime, so I wouldn't be surprised if enough if enough, you know? Twitter just being Twitter unfortunately.
sadly isn’t a charity giving more than half the money it raises to the causes actually rare?
I'm sure it's probably because she's tired of dealing with all the nonsense. I wouldn't blame her personally. Exactly!She has said she is responsible for that dialogue before, and she has bragged about making changes like that. Not that I think people should go at her directly for it or anything, if you don't like it, voice your complaints and then vote with your wallet imo.
Best thing to do dude. I think it's just harder for some when it connects to your job in various ways. Twitter is just such a mess, lol.I just switch off at this point, one of the key things in every employment iv ever worked is, don't link your job to your social media. Yet everytime someone does it ends the same way. Just don't, it's so simple. Walk away it's fucking twitter.
Makes sense, but a lot of people dont have common sense and there's this urge in modern day for some to meld their home life and career into one giant social media profile.I just switch off at this point, one of the key things in every employment iv ever worked is, don't link your job to your social media. Yet everytime someone does it ends the same way. Just don't, it's so simple. Walk away it's fucking twitter.
