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.
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.
There is no point responding to right wing idiots; all of their speech is logical fallacy and bad faith rhetoric. They’re best ignored, or talked over. They can’t be bothered to respond to anyone, they just spout their own bullshit, no matter what anyone else says, so we as a society need to refuse to debate them or address them directly. Whatever they say just respond with another fact that refutes their entire existence
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.
Seems that there’s an endless amount of money for right wing social and political commentators.
This is it.
All you need is to parrot what more popular accounts say and have a phone and you can make money as a political streamer.
which russia is happy to pay, the political grifters went silent immediately when people found out they were being paid/consultancy through a llc backed by russia.
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.
Middle age?!
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!
He doesn’t go to the gym, he’s not active, he’s got shit genetics, he lives in filth, and actively avoids washing.
It’s not hard to look like shit when you go out of your way to on top of having hit the ugly tree in the genetic lottery.
Man, I’d look elderly to you I guess. How old are you?
I’m middle aged.
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.
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.
Honestly, and I know I’m gonna get downvoted for this again, but he makes a surprising amount of sense in a lot of topics he touches and it often seems like his responses are well thought through and quite eloquent.
And that’s exactly the problem. It makes it really easy for some people to fall for his batshit crazy bullshit takes and it makes him a lot more dangerous than if he was just some crazy Maga nut.
He also addresses a lot of the struggles his predominantly young male audience experiences. Something, pretty much everyone else fails to do. And his arguments only really fall apart once you invest quite some time to look deeper into the matter.
Disregarding Asmongold as just a crazy basement dweller with dead rats in his house might be easy but it’s severely underestimating the danger that this man poses if we don’t find ways to offer a better save space for his target audience. Although, Dr. K. is doing god’s work here!
Hey, engaging in good faith here:
Yeah, I get that a socially stunted basement dweller ‘elder gamer’ is indeed appealing to and relatable with a younger generation of basically the same.
And I totally get that many, many people are just highly dismissive of and rude toward such socially awkward people, which reinforces the entire dynamic… when what they should be is more appealing to, sympathetic and empathetic to the younger disaffected crowd, that are basically scared and confused and angry kids, many of whom could be easily set toward a better path in life and development of their world view if … just anyone would actually make them feel heard.
I really, really do get that, as I myself come from a right wing family, and genuienly didn’t even realize how fucked up a good deal of my young beliefs were, how self-destructive some of my own behaviors were, untill I actually encountered and got to spend a lot of time with people less shitty than my family, irl… granted this was 20-30 years ago, I think I am roughly the same age as Asmon, so this was… back when computers and video games were actually niche, weirdo nerd things, not the widespread bog standard for children’s socialization.
I have no argument with any of that.
I do however request at least one actual example of Asmon having a take on literally anything that is… lets say, more well thought out and reasoned than a high school sophomore’s 5 page book report.
… And in saying that, I am now remembering that American literacy rates and scores have plummeted since I got out of high school, I think within +/- 2 ish years of myself graduating from college, that was the actual high point for average American literacy levels…
Maybe my standard of ‘well reasoned and thoughtful’ just objectively is higher than the modern standard.
Hrm.
To be fair he said he brushes his teeth twice a day every day (ever since he had to replace his whole teeth because the original ones rotted out 🤣)
Wait, ALL OF THEM?!??!!
I think most of his teeth were rotten out yeah. Not sure if ALL of them but most. Doesn’t really surprise me because he drinks the most disgusting beverage ever like a normal person drinks water (Dr pepper)
How do you then reset the alarm so it doesn’t smell? Do you refrigerate it or freeze it?
… you pull the blinds down… and go noseblind after enough ‘exposure’.
He probably reused the same one a fair few times. After that stops working, new rat. God knows he has plenty of volunteers.
Asmongold is a huge piece of shit. I never liked the dude. No idea why people listen to anything he says, dudes a grade A moron.
People like him have ruined the online gaming sphere with their low-life personalities and acting like racist children who just learned to talk.
Have you seen the aamon animation version of him?
lmao, no, I haven’t. That’s horrific, hilarious, and eerily accurate somehow.
I thought the voices for this were AI generated until I heard his quote on Palestine at the end and remembered that very clip which landed him a Twitch suspension. Fucking hell, those are all actual Asmongold quotes?
Oh yes, that’s how Aamon makes his works, that’s what makes them even more hilarious. Try the Kanye one next… Like, obviously, not at work.
His Andrew Tate one is comedy gold. Perfectly nails a depiction of him that’s both realistic and incredibly unflattering uncanny valley body horror.
Fortunately for me, I had not until just now 😒
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.
not only a racist but also a misogynist, a present-day gamergater, who is literally in 2025 still complaining that “video games used to be made for guys and now they’re made for everyone” 🤦
If he doesn’t like today’s games, then he can just ask ChatGPT to make it the old way. Or Grok for that MechaHitler edge.
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.
him and hasan seems to have some of kind beef going, yea the drama is helping thier engagement.
I still remember tuning in to see what his stream is about and he is explaining why having a confederate flag is important to texans (not sure if it was texans, been a while)
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.
im saying this with peace and love, you need to find better people to watch
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 in 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.
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.
Maybe this experience is telling you to question your beliefs on yourself, your family, other people, your country, the world…
How the fuck is this gross dude the top streamer?
We’re cooked.
Parasocialites are the biggest rejects of society and are the most likely to fall into the alt right pipeline because they’re unable to get proper socialization anywhere else.
I imagine he’s quite representative of people who watch Twitch all day.
Why are we giving a guy who used a dead rat as an alarm, and smeared blood from his gums on his walls attention?
An absolute retard calling others retards, the irony is just hilarious…52k ppl tuning in to a dude spouting hate and nonsense in front of 30 bucks mic calling him self a political streamer, he’s not even qualified for an actual job …god, I hate tge internet
When the fuck did Asmongold become the largest POLITICAL streamer?
He went from games, to reacts, to the largest political just because he says stupid hateful MAGA shit?
Because people are getting dumber. It used to be Ben Shabibo with his logical gymnastics, but now with the average right wingers getting dumber they don’t need that shit, now they’re just flocking to people like Assmongold and Charlie Kirk who just shouts keywords and that’ll activate their neurons.
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.
When the fuck did Asmongold become the largest POLITICAL streamer?
He didn’t, not even close—the OP just made that up to augment the ragebait level of their post, lol.
The part I like is that these fucking assholes will raise hell about “making things political!!!” if they happen to hear an opposing opinion.
I think they should all be hanged.
Used to game with him back in MoP. Sad to see this is where he ended up.
isn’t this also the same guy who said he’s ok with the genocide of Palestinians? (source)
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.
and his followers eat this right up and probably parrot it off elsewhere…that’s both sad and infuriating
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 used to enjoy asmogold years ago when it was mostly just showing and talking about gaming (WoW mount offs etc)…then he started showing who he really was more and more and I noped out.
I don’t get it. The first time I tuned into his stream he was screaming at his raid and being a complete ass in his disgusting neckbeard nest. Same thing the next few times I got curious enough to turn his stream on. At no point in time did he ever appear to not be a giant steaming pile of shit.
They only show their true colors when the feel that it is safe for them to do so. So this says more about Twitch and our current society than about this asshole.
