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.
Asmondgold is so far past being relevant. He was intolerable when he was simply making World of Warcraft videos.
It amazes me people listen to a guy who chooses to live in a filthy roach infested house.
Didn’t he have a roach electric itself by chewing through a cord and he just fucking left it there for months?
I think asmon is entertaining and his takes are mostly pretty fair. I’ve watched him for a very long time. Yes I will be down voted, that I know.
asmon rlly one of the dumbest mofos ive ever had the displeasure to be exposed too. Like most right wing grifters know they lie about shit to get their points across. This dude is so dumb he believes all of it
How is he not banned yet? I would have banned him just for not using deodorant.
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.
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.
I dont need to state my opinion of asmongold on here.
Everyone else has done that for me.
Used to game with him back in MoP. Sad to see this is where he ended up.
You personally? Cmon, hard to believe.
Yes, me personally, I used to play competitive World of Warcraft. Did timed challenge mode dungeons for realm’s best at end of MoP too.
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.
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
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
Lol I remember Dunkey complaining about this guy and twitch streamers in general showing up to E3 because “The only Twitch streamer that plays games is Pete Dorr, and he wasn’t even on there”
Why are we giving a guy who used a dead rat as an alarm, and smeared blood from his gums on his walls attention?
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.
I have watch history turned off anyway so I wonder how it’s deciding that I should watch these clips.
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.
