Not only are the countries he is saying have "fine" refugees don't even speak English as an official language, Africa as a continent has the largest amount of countries that speak English:

Most other African countries speak French, Spanish or another European language as an official language. So what is the issue here? Many Africans have immigrated to Western countries and have integrated fine. It's insane that Twitch is allowing this kind of rhetoric to be displayed in full velocity on this platform.

Since when is this dude a political streamer. Wasn't he popular for WoW and he was a PoS then. Why is anybody listening to what he has to say now?

    It's the natural progression for a 20-something piece-of-shit gamer edgelord. When he hits middle age he pivots into being a miserable racist piece-of-shit bore.

    He is 35 years old. Just imagine that. 35 years old and still not capable to use the brain properly.

    He was never smart. And he still lives with his parents. And he doesn’t even go to a dentist. He is representing a lot of central US people.

    Yeah that was my assumption because he looks middle-aged to me. Found out after I wrote that he's like 35? How the fuck can you look that haggard when you're a 30-something content creator raking in the money from your parents' basement!

  • I wish people would just come to terms with the fact that gaming, for whatever reason, seems to breed these ballsack-looking conservative gamers who are willing to do anything and everything to avoid having to keep down a real job. I've met a dozen of them in my life and they're all the same. They're all rich kids who couldn't survive a single performance review.

    he discovered the grift and decided to get in on it. Even his father called him out on it after he called Palestinians "inferior". that's all this is. He's an act, a con artist, a grifter.

    a guy that claimed streaming on his main asmongold account and getting paid with subs was "too stressful and causing anxiety" thus started streaming on an alt account that eventually became bigger than his main and makes him more money too.

    And the people that watch him are just morons of the lowest caliber.

    I think he must attract a certain amount of viewers from the "train wreck" effect. He literally was using the stench from the sun hitting a decomposing rat corpse in his room as an "alarm clock" for a while. He has had roaches crawl across him live and not reacted.

    So I can kind of understand getting some sort of twisted satisfaction that you're doing better, or having the same sort of fascination people have with train wrecks and disasters.

    What I don't get is why anyone cares about his takes on anything. The man willingly lives in decomposing filth. He's clearly not a source of knowledge or good opinions on fucking anything.

    He's clearly not a source of knowledge or good opinions on fucking anything.

    So here's my take on this, because I've seen similar personalities make similar pivots.

    This guy is a disgusting, bumbling idiot, but he speaks with certainty and condescension. The curious onlooker will see him, get trapped by the mindset you describe ("oh man, this guy's a trainwreck, let's see how much worse off he is than me"), find it funny and continue watching.

    After establishing some sort of "trust" with the audience ("I'm a big dumb idiot who makes you laugh") he pulls out the manipulative speech. "You'd have to be stupid to-"; "this guy's a retard!"; "It doesn't make any sense", etc. Once you get to this part of the steam, you've already established that the dude's an idiot, but you also think he's funny. You're faced with the decision to either laugh along with his "jokes", or "accept" that this buffoon is "more educated" on a topic than you are. The fragile, uninformed audience these people are after are much more likely to go the latter route.

    This dude has been a well known shit head for years. It's not surprising to see him continue to be a well known shit head. Twitch, like most platforms, doesn't actually care what people say, as long as it drives engagement.

    Asmongold says stupid things and then only responds to the lowest hanging fruit.

    He'll say we can't take refugees because XYZ, then people will respectfully counter his arguments, but he effortlessly ignores them.

    Then someone calls him a loser or makes a silly argument and that's when he's "You see? This is the problem."

    Just a circus act for idiots.

    I started kind of liking this guy right before he ripped the mask off. This is the same thing that happened with Rogan. Started to like his content and within a few months he went full douchebag. I'm cursed.

    same here, I used to like his Warcraft stuff and thought his house tour being complete untamed chaos was so hilarious. never knew of his political stuff until he commented on gaza and I was instantly made aware of the reality of his views.

    Eh, I tried to be open-minded. Asmongold was funny and surprisingly articulate back when he just dunked on video game developers, but as time went on and Trump came into office, it really started falling apart. Rogan used to have doctors, scientists and educators on his show, and had enough humility to at least admit he was stupid and respected what they taught him. But just like Asmongold, Trump, money and the pandemic absolutely broke his brain.

  • The problem with Rogan was that, even like 7 years ago, I was trying to tell dudes to stop listening to Joe Rogan because he platforms people with very dangerous, unscientific ideas. The response was always, "he has doctors and researchers on, too!" as if Rogan wasn't doing that on purpose as cover for him to broadcast his deeply reactive political views.

    Please keep in mind this is a guy who, quite seriously, this is not made up...

    ... used to use a dead rat in his pigsty of a room as an alarm clock.

    The sun would come in through the window, bake the rat corpse to the point of a striking pungent smell, and this is what would wake him up.

    Again, I am not making this up, just a year or twoish back he earnestly explained this to all his viewers.

    The man also very, very rarely brushes his teeth, and has frequent issues with his gums bleeding.

    This is your basement dweller 4chan addict, who just so happened to win the streamer popularity contest.

    On basically any topic other than World of Warcraft, he has no fucking clue what he is talking about.

    Bots are easy to buy to make you look popular. Also 50,000 people watching isn’t really all that many people in the greater aspect of the world.

    He’s a human garbage dumpster. He’ll probably die from contamination from a mouse eating something that he eats later.

    I thought this guy just did shit reaction content? I was suggested a video before and he just sat with his stupid face in the corner most of the time making dumb comments and turning a slightly interesting 30 minute video into 3 hours. I couldn't be bothered to watch more than a few minutes and I feel like I am owed that time back.

    Yep, he is pro trump and elon and anything nazi. But most of it is just his lack of intelligence. He will read a twitter post and 1sec later pronounce it as the truth on stream, without having any source. Hes a propaganda echo and unfortunately reflects the average American gamer pretty well. Should have stuck to gaming.

    What's worse is now they'll go onto Twitter to talk to mechahitler (grok). It'll feed them manufactured lies and it'll be taken as a fact because these morons see AI as an absolute authority, or maybe as a scapegoat to justify their hateful ideologies. That's the "info" they'll be spreading. Already seen it in YouTube comments.

    I would debate that Asmongold has a Charisma. People, for the reason unbeknownst to me, are enjoying to watch other people destroy themselves. Typically, their target already shows some dysfunctional behavior. Asmon is textbook this case. There is no charisma. He is just attracting spectators by destroying his image and his personality. I saw same happen to many streamers and influencers and Asmon is not a special case. He is the case.

    When he discovered it's an easy grift, and even easier way to get attention which is what he really wants. Dude is a sad little man child, constantly searching for adoration. These are not deeply held, or even shallowly held beliefs he's just doing whatever gets his audience to be nice to him.

    That's all. His chuds look for validation by finding a big streamer to regurgitate their views. Doesn't matter that his only life experience is rotting in front of WoW. Doesn't matter that he used the sunlight hitting a dead rat as an alarm clock. Doesn't matter that his teeth bleed.

    One thing I dislike about streamers is when you can tell they are using their voice in a "hey you should take me seriously, I am obviously right" kind of tone, and are good at that, but the actual words are just repeating a common opinion and devoid of much any substance or argument. Like they think adjusting the way they say something makes them more right.

    I see clips of this guy in my recommended videos section on youtube all the time.

    This is why, lol. Since his videos are generally popular on YouTube, if you have no watch history for your recommendations to be based on, it's just always going to feed you whatever's popular, which will include his stuff.

    You're doing it to yourself, in other words. I actually have watched a couple videos of his in the past, and yet, because it's rare, I never see his videos being recommended to me. Hell, in my experience, stuff recommended to me is rarely similar to things I've seen more than a month or so ago.
