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.

    I see clips of this guy in my recommended videos section on youtube all the time. I never click on them and I have watch history turned off anyway so I wonder how it’s deciding that I should watch these clips. Either way, I find it odd how signal-boosted this clown is. The gaming-to-politics pipeline is too strong.

      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.

    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.

        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?

    He will get away with it just like last time by saying sorry I didn’t know or read any facts, and was just going with my inner hateful selfish racist genocidal feelings about other ethnicities whom I hate and wish the worst upon. Anyway, thank you for the $10000 donations XxReatrd420GamerxX

    Baffles me why would anyone watch him at all. Maybe people watch him to see him destroy himself as in many other cases online. It it is that, then fuck all those enablers and let their life be a soulless, joyless, empty life.

      People connect with him because he feels relatable and “genuine” and if that boggles you, we who can type and read words vastly underestimate how powerful this kind of “don’t give a shit how stupid people think I am” persona really is.

      Why should we be at all surprised when people like Joe Rogan and Donald Trump himself are so popular with people for their “charisma.” Charisma doesn’t mean suave and smart, it means you can charm some certain segment of people, particularly those who can’t tell the difference between confidence and dimwittedness.

        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.

          It’s reality TV for incels. Wow look at that unkempt guy in a filthy apartment who’s good at video games. I’m not quite as bad as he is I guess I’ll watch to make myself feel better about the sad life I live in butthole-town USA.

    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.

      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 🤣)

          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?

    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.
