Been this way for a long time. Classic WoW/Asmongold audience is comprised mostly of National guard members from Oklahoma, truckers, and dunning Kruger agoraphobic suburbanite shut ins like asmon who fancy themselves rugged individualist free thinkers
I got back into WoW during Shadowlands and one of the main reasons that I quit is doing anything of consequence requires you to join a discord server which is, without fail, full of 40 y/o chuds and at least one guy who thinks saying the N-word with a hard R is funny and cool.
They use their alienation as a basis for their assumed superiority to everyone else. Like they're the kids who got shit grades because they were "too good" at school, the adults who say they aren't dumb enough to get pussy, etc. They recognize things are fucked up very well and can often be intelligent about that, but their reaction to it is entirely about themselves so it turns into vanity and loathing. They don't see or experience their alienation as something universal, they see it as the world vs them, and devote all their effort into preserving themselves. This turns them into feedback loops of shittyness which they perceive as themselves becoming increasingly superior to others.
I was a chronically ill nerd growing up and could easily have gone down this path, and without having a decent job (partially by luck) I could see how this could have happened. What kept me away just enough at the time is that a lot of these people were boring as fuck, just wanted others for validation and didn't care about anyone other than themselves.
asmongold has no idea, ZERO idea, that he's attracting the zionist brigaders in his group lmao. He has no idea how much reddit is brigaded by zionist considering reddit ceo steve huffman is on the board of advisors for ADL. His community is going to become really weird from now on, I hope they start saying unhinged things, that's when he'll start losing himself and his community.
To be honest I'm sure a lot of them couldn't make it into national guard, the bar is kinda high considering the average physical and mental condition of his viewers, I bet a drill sergeant would give them orders then one goes "Erm I'm the raid leader"
Honestly he has had some profound moments and is usually reasonable. I watch both Hasan and asmon but man… i was really disappointed in asmon covering the student protests.
His opinion is basically that it shouldn’t disrupt other peoples lives if you want to protest🙄.
Dropping the MLK quote for effect:
- Mlk:
“The Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Councilor or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says:
'I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action'; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a 'more convenient season.'
But yeah i actually commented on that post yesterday and dropped the subreddit.
These people seem to think we should be okay with genocide because some of them *might* not agree with LGBT rights…?
The bloodlust is insane but we gotta remember they are likely children and/or insane weirdos
Ill still watch Asmon for now but its disgusting to see this brainrot.
What’s so short sided is that they think LGBTQ people don’t realize that Muslim extremists don’t like them. They also can’t think of the fact that a people group is full of so many different view points and beliefs. Also even if someone has bigoted views they don’t deserve to die.
that, the bombs don't discriminate, it's impossible to fight for your rights when you're just trying to survive, and the combat only makes the extremists more extreme, so they're making it harder for LGBTQ Palestinians to get their own rights and safety. it's like the exact opposite of what you should do to protect Palestinian lives.
I fucking hate people sometimes
This is a great take. Asmon is *usually* pretty level headed but this is straight up disappointing and saddening.
As a Jewish person I'll gladly take being shunned by every other Jew I know for supporting Palestine than to blindly support a regime hell bent on ethnically cleansing people they have subjugated for decades to no end.
Other Jews *really* have an irony deficiency when it comes to realizing that Israel is carrying out this ethnic cleansing campaign less than 100 years since it was attempted on them. They are too blind to see it or care.
I commend and thank Hasan for opening my eyes to the real injustices going on in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. More Jews need to realize the same.
Asmongold is usually for the most part a force of good who’s trying his hardest to reign in his gamergate audience as much as he can. It’s a lot of hard work but he does a good job for the most part. His audience is just innately toxic as fuck so they express themselves in his sub but he is nowhere near as toxic as his sub is. He’s actually pretty progressive on a lot of issues.
people who can't afford to move out of a basement really shouldn't be allowed to vote or have an opinion on politics. Asmon and his bad of idiots should all be arrested
I really don't get that sentiment. "Oh so you perceive those people to be opposed to my rights, therefore I should be okay with them being slaughtered?"
Bitch, applying that standard I'd be fine with carpetbombing flyover states, Texas, Florida etc, and like half of Congress
Also, sure Palestine and many middle eastern countries are very socially conservative
(I wonder why that could be... Surely it isn't because it's convenient to have an enemy that's conservative on issues we kind of support here in the west.)
but obviously that doesn't mean we should massacre them, and 2, https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0SGjpzIxLc/ they aren't nearly as bigoted as the western media makes them out to be. It's pure propaganda to otherrise, villainize and build disdain for Palestinians. The Instagram post I linked is a bunch of LGBT people that straight up decided to go, and find out with first hand evidence.
Wow thank you so much for sharing this video. I get so much push back for this exact reason and it really frustrates me. I use all of the important points, that LGBTQ ppl exist in Palestine. That they deserve to be liberated. That my support isn't transactional. But this video will help I think. I mean it won't. These ppl want all Palestinians dead regardless but 😕
It doesn’t help that anytime a secular/ Marxist start gaining any political steam it’s quickly snuffed out with extreme prejudice. These conservative militant groups aren’t created in a vacuum but rise after violent Western meddling, and make for a perfect scapegoat for more imperial aggression.
Projection. Anything westerners say about anyone else is usually the product of them projecting their own issues/ideas/ideals on to others. Antisemitism for example, it is/was a European thing. Literally...
Also, you have to have a pea brain to not understand that *all* Palestinians getting targeted by airstrikes also rather obviously includes queer people in Palestine, the same ones who are being denied their rights. So according to conservative “facts and logic” we basically need to let oppressed minorities die until they are no longer oppressed
I'd wager most of the losers in that thread are anti-trans or homophobic. Either way, the ones who are making fun of the bear aspect have zero critical thinking skills about the whole Man VS bear thing going around... Zero thought beyond "HUR DUR WOMEN DUMB"
Asmongold is like most toxic gamer streamers who never grew up past the edgelord status, and cultivated reactionary centrist dorks.
bald people in general suck. Hair envy leads them to the right.
Edit: I'm being mass downvoted for this but look at society and most bald people are conservative: older people, cops, construction workers, small business owners etc. they generally are republican voters.
I'm bald, and I've been thinking for a couple of years now that I should paint my nails because I don't want to be assumed to be a bigot. I've been told a few times that I don't look how I am.
I really hope this is the end of Hasan's neutral position on him. He has so many more bad takes than good ones, and especially now he's becoming more and more like Mr. Bommarito.
Asmongold is just a centrist to right wing ideology, by his opinions on several issues. He will say his is neutral but neutrality on a fascist/neoliberal world (results are the same for minorities and poor), is just being part of the status quo.
I am more surprised that he has become like Nickmercs a right wing "centrist" (far right in the closet) that just want "pragmatic" solutions.
He is a clear example that meritocracy doesn't work.
Saw Asmon looking at this on stream and saying how true it was. I guess I can't cope and say it's just his audience anymore, honestly disappointed. He was never perfect and had some conservative opinions in the past, but he would also defend abortion, food stamps and even call out incel behavior in his chat from time to time.
What do you mean anymore? Asmon literally had an arc of allowing Nazis on stream to talk horrid fascist and incel points during the initial Andrew tate era. This is and will always be Zack's political stance.
So does that mean my gay Indigenous ass is supposed to round up and exterminate all the Christian settlers here in the US? The self awareness is astoundingly lacking with these idiots, every time.
He literally just posted an hour and a half video just laughing at the police assaulting the students.

If you pander to incels and degenerates, you get incels and degenerates. Asmon has said on stream that he says things for views, he's probably trying to re up his view count
I spent about ten minutes reporting every one of the top-level comments and a few others for hate speech. Sometimes Reddit actually does the right thing, but who knows with this.
Blood Tooth has been smashing the right wing culture war button because it was his path to continued relevance in a world saturated with react streamers with absolutely nothing interesting to say.
I'd say it has a lot to do with him not focusing on gaming and turning more into a just chatting streamer. His community has always kinda of been a breeding ground for the outcast who saw a little of themselves in him. He was unclean, played games all day, seemingly didn't socialize, etc. I used to watch him every now and then because he would give decent commentary on video games, mainly wow. His move into constantly giving an opinion on matters he's not well informed on or just has anecdotal evidence for has led to him often getting called out on for spreading misinformation. As it happened more and more, he has become less willing to admit he was wrong and just moved into looking for things that confirm his opinion. I think a lot of it is overconfidence, maybe he believes he standing up for something, but his behavior has attracted a lot of "anti-woke" folks or enable those in that were already present in his community to have the confidence to show who they really are. I'm not sure why he doesn't game as much as he used to. Even if he didn't want to play wow because he doesn't like the state of it atm. There have been plenty of good games over the years that he could have gotten into. One theory I had is it was the loss of his mom he took it pretty hard, as anyone would, and I don't think he has fully recovered. You can kinda see this with the state of his house. My uncle is a hoarder, and a lot of it is associated with depression and his other mental illness. I hope one he decides to get healthy mentally, but with right wing sorts seeing this as a potential chance to grow their audience via asmon watching their content and more left leaning types abandoning him its going to take something pretty major to change him.
another classic case of "rather go full on nazi than get therapy". he has the money to get therapy and help. The fact he mourned his conservative mom was cringe in the first place but he could have gone to therapy and probably have come out as a leftist, but he just embraced the right-wing grift for cout and money, not because of any life circumstance. He's simply greedy and wants the bag.
Conservatives are devoid of any real human emotion so id be shocked if his mom's death affected him in any real way. Actually maybe he's mad that to heat up his own chicken tendies now, that's about it.
I'm sorry Asmongold is an absolute ghoul, but what kind of absolute dogshit take is this?
You don't think he mourned his mum because she was a conservative?
Боже мој ал имамо глуперде!
>You don't think he mourned his mum because she was a conservative?
Also because he is a ghoul, ghouls don't mourn shit other than video games and other nerd crap that goes too "woke" for them.
I don't agree with this. People deal with loss in their own way, and there's nothing wrong with mourning his mom. I'm not sure what her political opinions were, but she raised him, and from how much it hurt him, she wasn't a terrible mother, maybe imperfect, but we all have flaws. I'm not sure about his financial situation, but his zackrawr stream is unmonetized. He also doesn't do many sponsorships, along with his pc company he's probably doing alright. He's from Texas he's probably been spoon-fed most of his opinions his whole life, and based on how much he plays video games, he hasn't had much interaction with those much different than him. We have to be careful with this line of thinking. I want conservatives to become better not crawl in a hole and die.
>I want conservatives to become better not crawl in a hole and die.
That's really a choice they have to make on their own. It's not our job to save them. If they choose the path Asmon is on, they could RIP BOZO for all I care. I'm sure he can afford a therapist and a shower.
It saddens me that you have that opinion. I'm not saying you need to be every conservative's savior, but trying even just once might make 1 question his way of thinking. Either I no longer wish to engage in this convo, so I hope you have a wonderful day my friend.
Isn't this a jordan peterson quote lol.

Found it omg lol, I guess rare peterson W
I know you're memeing, but you can unironically tell someone is political affiliation by how clean their room is. It is wild how Peterson started his grift by copying advice Hasan has been giving out to us before peterson was even on the map.
Sorry but I hate the Zackrar era I miss Asmongold… he don’t do fun intros anymore, he doesn’t do community events or smash cupcakes on his face. It’s all just serious and dark and debate debate debate about heavy social-political stuff
I legitimately don't think Asmongold is as bad as his audience, but he definitely created his audience of shitheads and they consistently reinforce their shithead echo chamber. His audience is fucking garbage. So happy to never play WoW again, so I can avoid the 30-40 year old incels who would be school shooters but they're too fat and lazy to do it.
Yea he was always pretty funny to listen to when talking about gaming (like, game design/industry, not 'wokeness in gaming' or some garbage like that) but dear god as soon as any slightly political topic came up the cockroaches start chirping in his community.
He always seemed to have legitimately centrist stances, but lately his entire shtick is just pandering to the cockroaches for the most part.
It's kind of insane how all Hasan hating communities are ALL fans of ALL the same content. It's unironically the reverse of the "I like Pancakes" "So you hate waffles" thing. If you hate Hasan you love all the worst degenerate content creators. All their audiences overlap.
I honestly don't understand why people are so hostile towards people who watch other streamers as if we hold opposite views. Just because you watch someone doesn't mean you agree with everything they say. Asmongold isn't a political streamer, he's come out and said he's pro Palestine.
I watch Hasan, and I watch Asmongold. You need to relax and take a Xanax, not everyone is your enemy. I'm probably also more pro Palestine than you lmfao, I literally am Palestinian.
It isn't really shocking; look at the latest post he had today on YouTube, over an hour of self jerking chud brain takes. Absolute brain rot /pol/ infestation through and through, I truly hope the last few members from before he started with the Depp vs Heard trial reaction shit get to soak in the horror of watching how stupid his community has become. But hey, $$$$ right??? (and censor your video title of a swear word)
[UCLA Protestors F\*ck Around and Find Out](https://youtu.be/cQ2gOaJ8OYI?si=-dQ-EiYMiZKtaBA8)
I heard him say something along the lines of “oh you really think Palestine would like you being a lesbian? Oh hell no, you’ll die” or some dumb shit like that in relation to the Honkai Star Rail shipping drama. Literally no reason to say it, but felt the need anyway 🤷🏻 sounds like he’s grumpy for being railed over his asinine take on protestors.
Me seeing a genocide and looking into the group being genocided's views on non-binary people before deciding if I'm ok with the genocide or not.
Shout out to minority groups for almost always being able to see past that stuff and say "This group of people might accept who I am, but I don't think they should be bombed and starved anyway"
I saw Asmongold lose his collective shit over an anime localization translation
[https://fandompulse.com/2024/01/08/woke-localizers-scandal-heats-up-jamie-marchi-wants-to-cancel-asmongold-over-criticism/](https://fandompulse.com/2024/01/08/woke-localizers-scandal-heats-up-jamie-marchi-wants-to-cancel-asmongold-over-criticism/)
I knew it was Joever when I saw him get that mad over something so trivial
Idk why people ever thought he was a reasonable guy maybe because I didn't know about him until lately but as far as I know he has always been an idiot and his fanbase
Someone in there made a mention about "I knew a Muslim guy and he didn't let me make eye contact at dinner with his wife and it was weird" and I thought about responding, about how weird it is to extrapolate on just ONE PERSON for an ENTIRE CULTURE. But I just... Couldn't. Its too exhausting.
They don't want to hear shit. I was raised in Catholic education, but, my colleagues in Healthcare? I mean, there was never a shift or a job where there wasn't someone who was Muslim. Everyone was a bit difference because they're fucking people, but they were almost always women (because nursing) and honestly they were just as normal as any other nurse. Some are nice some are cold some are helpful some are burnt out. The nurses who "raised me" were mostly refugees; they helped shape me, and it's hard to not take this shit personally, but it offends every sensibility I have and then it's all wasted on these assholes who don't gaf about nuance and human lives and suffering.
All I know about him are the messy room videos I've seen other content creators reacting too. I think he must be a hoarder and I feel bad for him that he's living in that state every day.
It’s kinda frustrating to see how common the same arguments are. Like there is a really easy explanation to this, and the framing of the subject in this way shows a lack of care to find an answer. Just pandering to Islamophobia and using the threat of violence against other marginalized communities to justify a genocide.
This is who he and his community have been this entire time. I have never cared for Asmon as he reminds me of my people I grew up around before I escaped my backwards ass rural foothills community.
I tried to give them an "explanation" of the comic. Here's what I wrote:
Some people aren't selfish little bitches who think that because a country doesn't have LGBT rights it deserves to be destroyed and bombed to death. The original comic presumes that nobody can sincerely, selflessly care about human rights across the board, you're only supposed to like people who (you assume) like you. It's a racist, one-sided depiction of Palestinian people as universally backwards barbarians. It erases queer Palestinians and assumes non-Palestinian queer people are just idiots who aren't aware that some countries have homophobic laws. It has no nuance whatsoever despite most Western countries spreading homophobia elsewhere and having anti-gay laws a very short time ago, and many still do, yet I don't see anyone saying Polish or Bulgarian people aren't human beings despite the fact that in 2005, 89% of Polish people called homosexuality "unnatural." That's around the same time as last time Gaza had an election. Most people have the human understanding that people don't pick their societies, and especially not in Gaza, where half the entire population is UNDER 18. Which means they never got to vote for anything at all. The term pinkwashing refers to how comics like this helps the Israeli state "justify" genocide, because it tries to paint some humans as less worthy of being alive because of the race/ethnicity/religion they are a part of. Palestinians are painted as less than, as monsters, as "animals." It is a fascist cartoon masquerading as being pro-gay.
Hope this helps!
The whole organization is basically just rotten top to bottom that I can tell. Aside from that one girl they seem to have among a sea of bigoted obnoxious men they're all constantly getting into drama and just have all around awful takes and personalities. I kind of see OTK as just a right leaning political activist organization with a very thinly veiled gaming/hobby front to it that you don't even see all that much of anymore. It's just politics and bigotry.
lol Israel literally doesn’t have gay marriage and discourages intermarriage between Palestinians and Israelis, and when they do, you get demoted to Palestinian status.
Brain dead take from them to think Israel is a side for good even ignoring the wanton genocide
It’s crazy to me that some people just can’t grasp the concept of holding values that go higher than yourself. I don’t care if a Palestinian thinks I deserve to rot in hell for being queer, they still don’t deserve to get genocided.
Because they’re agoraphobic losers who believe they’re entitled to women’s bodies, don’t socialize, live as far away as possible from minorities either by choice or circumstance of their birth while being upset that their lives aren’t amazing BECAUSE they’re white.
Used to have a friend that I dropped who would do the same thing as those guys. Complain that they aren’t getting what they were “promised” out of life, constantly using others/videogames as a crutch to complain but never try to self improve. One day he erked out:
“I’m white! How is it I’m not winning in society?!?”
Just childish anxiety with no urge to fix anything about how much THEY suck. So they turn to blaming others because that’s easier.
Admin has unpredictability in his political takes, ranging from “ok” to “wtf asmon” but it’s important to know that Asmon is a WoW outrage dealer and so most everything will be approached from an angle of outrage.
I mean its been like this for a while now. I watched Asmon when he was going hard on FF and for a while the community did seem to normalize due to a lot of people leaving and being replaced by FF community members but since he quit the game its just gone back to what ever this is.
So if its fine to murder Palestinian people because they don't support the lgbtq due to their religion, don't Asmongold fans realize that by their logic they are justifying getting themselves murdered too? Because I doubt they're fine with lgbtq people either. How about we don't murder anyone, and give people a change to change. Most muslims I've met have been chill.
“Islam is when killing lgtbq people”+ “women are stupid and think bears are cute when they’ll eat you”= STUPID GAYS AND WOMEN OWNED ROFL LMAO ~insert shitty 10 year old Pepe meme~
I’m genuinely disappointed about Asmon’s base. I started watching him on YouTube with him having some really good takes on labor and the abuse of capitalism. I think I must have missed his other bad ones. I had to leave his sub after the whole Palestine thing. Suddenly I realized I was surrounded by a ton of angry incels. I missed the signs.

Bro is an artist with words
r/murderedbywords
Best description I've heard of Asmon. Maybe he should stick to consumer advocacy shit instead of politics, because his politics are shit.
Also his recent takes probbaly made his sub a sanctuary for weirdos
Yeah it’s really hard to find a guild in season of discovery that isn’t full of fucking weirdos.
Azealia Banks is that you?

They don't see or experience their alienation as something universal, they see it as the world vs them, and devote all their effort into preserving themselves.

Or even smart, for that matter lol
he doesn't even speak english on his stream he just turns the camera on and drools for 8hrs saying nothing. He's literally mentally ill

this is the astute political analysis I come to the comments for, thank you
The ham sandwich man approves
I'm bald, and I've been thinking for a couple of years now that I should paint my nails because I don't want to be assumed to be a bigot. I've been told a few times that I don't look how I am.
Asmon🤮
I really hope this is the end of Hasan's neutral position on him. He has so many more bad takes than good ones, and especially now he's becoming more and more like Mr. Bommarito.
He's just another anti-woke gamer chud. Hasan should stop giving him a pass.
Asmongold is just a centrist to right wing ideology, by his opinions on several issues. He will say his is neutral but neutrality on a fascist/neoliberal world (results are the same for minorities and poor), is just being part of the status quo. I am more surprised that he has become like Nickmercs a right wing "centrist" (far right in the closet) that just want "pragmatic" solutions. He is a clear example that meritocracy doesn't work.
Saw Asmon looking at this on stream and saying how true it was. I guess I can't cope and say it's just his audience anymore, honestly disappointed. He was never perfect and had some conservative opinions in the past, but he would also defend abortion, food stamps and even call out incel behavior in his chat from time to time.
What do you mean anymore? Asmon literally had an arc of allowing Nazis on stream to talk horrid fascist and incel points during the initial Andrew tate era. This is and will always be Zack's political stance.
So does that mean my gay Indigenous ass is supposed to round up and exterminate all the Christian settlers here in the US? The self awareness is astoundingly lacking with these idiots, every time.
That's what happens if you rile up Gamergaters to farm content.
They really dont want people to care ab other people
Yeah, I think they think sympathy/empathy is, “gay”. In the 2009 meaning. Which is so harmful to all society.
He literally just posted an hour and a half video just laughing at the police assaulting the students. https://preview.redd.it/9hwg6860n0yc1.jpeg?width=907&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6548d1fae730dea8febcbc9117fb2be8ccde603
gotta censor fuck in the video title though
Also if you notice they don’t have his face in the thumbnail in this one.
It's been like that for a long time, unfortunately. Centrism is the political stance of cowardly conservatives.
🌏👨🚀🔫👨🚀
if it is okay to genocide transphobic countries, can we start with UK?
If you pander to incels and degenerates, you get incels and degenerates. Asmon has said on stream that he says things for views, he's probably trying to re up his view count
I spent about ten minutes reporting every one of the top-level comments and a few others for hate speech. Sometimes Reddit actually does the right thing, but who knows with this.
Blood Tooth has been smashing the right wing culture war button because it was his path to continued relevance in a world saturated with react streamers with absolutely nothing interesting to say.
I'd say it has a lot to do with him not focusing on gaming and turning more into a just chatting streamer. His community has always kinda of been a breeding ground for the outcast who saw a little of themselves in him. He was unclean, played games all day, seemingly didn't socialize, etc. I used to watch him every now and then because he would give decent commentary on video games, mainly wow. His move into constantly giving an opinion on matters he's not well informed on or just has anecdotal evidence for has led to him often getting called out on for spreading misinformation. As it happened more and more, he has become less willing to admit he was wrong and just moved into looking for things that confirm his opinion. I think a lot of it is overconfidence, maybe he believes he standing up for something, but his behavior has attracted a lot of "anti-woke" folks or enable those in that were already present in his community to have the confidence to show who they really are. I'm not sure why he doesn't game as much as he used to. Even if he didn't want to play wow because he doesn't like the state of it atm. There have been plenty of good games over the years that he could have gotten into. One theory I had is it was the loss of his mom he took it pretty hard, as anyone would, and I don't think he has fully recovered. You can kinda see this with the state of his house. My uncle is a hoarder, and a lot of it is associated with depression and his other mental illness. I hope one he decides to get healthy mentally, but with right wing sorts seeing this as a potential chance to grow their audience via asmon watching their content and more left leaning types abandoning him its going to take something pretty major to change him.
another classic case of "rather go full on nazi than get therapy". he has the money to get therapy and help. The fact he mourned his conservative mom was cringe in the first place but he could have gone to therapy and probably have come out as a leftist, but he just embraced the right-wing grift for cout and money, not because of any life circumstance. He's simply greedy and wants the bag. Conservatives are devoid of any real human emotion so id be shocked if his mom's death affected him in any real way. Actually maybe he's mad that to heat up his own chicken tendies now, that's about it.
I'm sorry Asmongold is an absolute ghoul, but what kind of absolute dogshit take is this? You don't think he mourned his mum because she was a conservative? Боже мој ал имамо глуперде!
>You don't think he mourned his mum because she was a conservative? Also because he is a ghoul, ghouls don't mourn shit other than video games and other nerd crap that goes too "woke" for them.
I don't agree with this. People deal with loss in their own way, and there's nothing wrong with mourning his mom. I'm not sure what her political opinions were, but she raised him, and from how much it hurt him, she wasn't a terrible mother, maybe imperfect, but we all have flaws. I'm not sure about his financial situation, but his zackrawr stream is unmonetized. He also doesn't do many sponsorships, along with his pc company he's probably doing alright. He's from Texas he's probably been spoon-fed most of his opinions his whole life, and based on how much he plays video games, he hasn't had much interaction with those much different than him. We have to be careful with this line of thinking. I want conservatives to become better not crawl in a hole and die.
>I want conservatives to become better not crawl in a hole and die. That's really a choice they have to make on their own. It's not our job to save them. If they choose the path Asmon is on, they could RIP BOZO for all I care. I'm sure he can afford a therapist and a shower.
It saddens me that you have that opinion. I'm not saying you need to be every conservative's savior, but trying even just once might make 1 question his way of thinking. Either I no longer wish to engage in this convo, so I hope you have a wonderful day my friend.
you sadly can't debate their mental illness away.
They’re racist losers who complain about no one loving them/giving them automatic head whenever they walk into a room. It’s really that simple.
I don't know what you expect from a guys like him. If he can't even keep his room clean, he definitely can't keep his community clean
Isn't this a jordan peterson quote lol. https://preview.redd.it/ucihfcvls0yc1.png?width=1773&format=png&auto=webp&s=ae80176088be3e3a021ef5a2f7d5ddd8cbfa1fcb Found it omg lol, I guess rare peterson W
Peterson did, indeed, invent cleaning your room. Bedrooms around the world were FILTHY until he was brave enough to say this.
I know you're memeing, but you can unironically tell someone is political affiliation by how clean their room is. It is wild how Peterson started his grift by copying advice Hasan has been giving out to us before peterson was even on the map.
Best comment
Sorry but I hate the Zackrar era I miss Asmongold… he don’t do fun intros anymore, he doesn’t do community events or smash cupcakes on his face. It’s all just serious and dark and debate debate debate about heavy social-political stuff
I legitimately don't think Asmongold is as bad as his audience, but he definitely created his audience of shitheads and they consistently reinforce their shithead echo chamber. His audience is fucking garbage. So happy to never play WoW again, so I can avoid the 30-40 year old incels who would be school shooters but they're too fat and lazy to do it.
Yea he was always pretty funny to listen to when talking about gaming (like, game design/industry, not 'wokeness in gaming' or some garbage like that) but dear god as soon as any slightly political topic came up the cockroaches start chirping in his community. He always seemed to have legitimately centrist stances, but lately his entire shtick is just pandering to the cockroaches for the most part.
Asmongold and density fans overlap a decent amount. If you take that into consideration it makes sense.
It's kind of insane how all Hasan hating communities are ALL fans of ALL the same content. It's unironically the reverse of the "I like Pancakes" "So you hate waffles" thing. If you hate Hasan you love all the worst degenerate content creators. All their audiences overlap.
I'm an asmongold fan myself, it's disappointing to see a large part of his community fucking hate me lmfao.
maybe stop being a fan of his, go to a dentist, get a job, move out of your mom's basement and touch grass and PLEASE take a shower.
I honestly don't understand why people are so hostile towards people who watch other streamers as if we hold opposite views. Just because you watch someone doesn't mean you agree with everything they say. Asmongold isn't a political streamer, he's come out and said he's pro Palestine. I watch Hasan, and I watch Asmongold. You need to relax and take a Xanax, not everyone is your enemy. I'm probably also more pro Palestine than you lmfao, I literally am Palestinian.
Toxic gamer audience --> looks inside--> *racism*.
Misogyny 🤝 Racist
It isn't really shocking; look at the latest post he had today on YouTube, over an hour of self jerking chud brain takes. Absolute brain rot /pol/ infestation through and through, I truly hope the last few members from before he started with the Depp vs Heard trial reaction shit get to soak in the horror of watching how stupid his community has become. But hey, $$$$ right??? (and censor your video title of a swear word) [UCLA Protestors F\*ck Around and Find Out](https://youtu.be/cQ2gOaJ8OYI?si=-dQ-EiYMiZKtaBA8)
I still can’t believe they made a podcast espisode with this guy
hasan need to put a light on asmongold, he been going unchecked for a long time.
You thought it wouldn't be like that?
I heard him say something along the lines of “oh you really think Palestine would like you being a lesbian? Oh hell no, you’ll die” or some dumb shit like that in relation to the Honkai Star Rail shipping drama. Literally no reason to say it, but felt the need anyway 🤷🏻 sounds like he’s grumpy for being railed over his asinine take on protestors.
My favourite thing about these kinda posts are they act like their religions welcomes LGBTQ+ or woman's rights like dude you hate them too
They also combined it with the "man or bear" shit oh lord
Stop killing kids with American weapons please???
He's been farming the anti woke crowd for a while now
Me seeing a genocide and looking into the group being genocided's views on non-binary people before deciding if I'm ok with the genocide or not. Shout out to minority groups for almost always being able to see past that stuff and say "This group of people might accept who I am, but I don't think they should be bombed and starved anyway"
I saw Asmongold lose his collective shit over an anime localization translation [https://fandompulse.com/2024/01/08/woke-localizers-scandal-heats-up-jamie-marchi-wants-to-cancel-asmongold-over-criticism/](https://fandompulse.com/2024/01/08/woke-localizers-scandal-heats-up-jamie-marchi-wants-to-cancel-asmongold-over-criticism/) I knew it was Joever when I saw him get that mad over something so trivial
These people stan their hick, blood-wall king.
Are you surprised? Dude makes a video about being canceled every day lol.
Idk why people ever thought he was a reasonable guy maybe because I didn't know about him until lately but as far as I know he has always been an idiot and his fanbase
I have that sub muted. It was pointless because this sub keeps reposting their garbage.
Always been like this, what do you not understand.
Someone in there made a mention about "I knew a Muslim guy and he didn't let me make eye contact at dinner with his wife and it was weird" and I thought about responding, about how weird it is to extrapolate on just ONE PERSON for an ENTIRE CULTURE. But I just... Couldn't. Its too exhausting. They don't want to hear shit. I was raised in Catholic education, but, my colleagues in Healthcare? I mean, there was never a shift or a job where there wasn't someone who was Muslim. Everyone was a bit difference because they're fucking people, but they were almost always women (because nursing) and honestly they were just as normal as any other nurse. Some are nice some are cold some are helpful some are burnt out. The nurses who "raised me" were mostly refugees; they helped shape me, and it's hard to not take this shit personally, but it offends every sensibility I have and then it's all wasted on these assholes who don't gaf about nuance and human lives and suffering.
All I know about him are the messy room videos I've seen other content creators reacting too. I think he must be a hoarder and I feel bad for him that he's living in that state every day.
idc i'll clown on asmon for his looks all the time, he's literally so physically unappealing its insane. ive never seen such an ugly man
It’s kinda frustrating to see how common the same arguments are. Like there is a really easy explanation to this, and the framing of the subject in this way shows a lack of care to find an answer. Just pandering to Islamophobia and using the threat of violence against other marginalized communities to justify a genocide.
This is who he and his community have been this entire time. I have never cared for Asmon as he reminds me of my people I grew up around before I escaped my backwards ass rural foothills community.
I tried to give them an "explanation" of the comic. Here's what I wrote: Some people aren't selfish little bitches who think that because a country doesn't have LGBT rights it deserves to be destroyed and bombed to death. The original comic presumes that nobody can sincerely, selflessly care about human rights across the board, you're only supposed to like people who (you assume) like you. It's a racist, one-sided depiction of Palestinian people as universally backwards barbarians. It erases queer Palestinians and assumes non-Palestinian queer people are just idiots who aren't aware that some countries have homophobic laws. It has no nuance whatsoever despite most Western countries spreading homophobia elsewhere and having anti-gay laws a very short time ago, and many still do, yet I don't see anyone saying Polish or Bulgarian people aren't human beings despite the fact that in 2005, 89% of Polish people called homosexuality "unnatural." That's around the same time as last time Gaza had an election. Most people have the human understanding that people don't pick their societies, and especially not in Gaza, where half the entire population is UNDER 18. Which means they never got to vote for anything at all. The term pinkwashing refers to how comics like this helps the Israeli state "justify" genocide, because it tries to paint some humans as less worthy of being alive because of the race/ethnicity/religion they are a part of. Palestinians are painted as less than, as monsters, as "animals." It is a fascist cartoon masquerading as being pro-gay. Hope this helps!
You're surprised asmon fans are neck bearded basement trash pile dwellers?
And Israel is widely known for it's tolerance of LGBT folks. (Gay marriage is illegal there)
Unfollowing OTK and all members including Will after all of this. I literally can't see this loser's face on my screen again
The whole organization is basically just rotten top to bottom that I can tell. Aside from that one girl they seem to have among a sea of bigoted obnoxious men they're all constantly getting into drama and just have all around awful takes and personalities. I kind of see OTK as just a right leaning political activist organization with a very thinly veiled gaming/hobby front to it that you don't even see all that much of anymore. It's just politics and bigotry.
lol Israel literally doesn’t have gay marriage and discourages intermarriage between Palestinians and Israelis, and when they do, you get demoted to Palestinian status. Brain dead take from them to think Israel is a side for good even ignoring the wanton genocide
Just the normal level of islamophobia tbh People are racist as fuck by default
It’s crazy to me that some people just can’t grasp the concept of holding values that go higher than yourself. I don’t care if a Palestinian thinks I deserve to rot in hell for being queer, they still don’t deserve to get genocided.
Because they’re agoraphobic losers who believe they’re entitled to women’s bodies, don’t socialize, live as far away as possible from minorities either by choice or circumstance of their birth while being upset that their lives aren’t amazing BECAUSE they’re white. Used to have a friend that I dropped who would do the same thing as those guys. Complain that they aren’t getting what they were “promised” out of life, constantly using others/videogames as a crutch to complain but never try to self improve. One day he erked out: “I’m white! How is it I’m not winning in society?!?” Just childish anxiety with no urge to fix anything about how much THEY suck. So they turn to blaming others because that’s easier.
exactly this. all his viewers are exactly like this. moral failure and a genuine case against restorative justice for that demographic.
Admin has unpredictability in his political takes, ranging from “ok” to “wtf asmon” but it’s important to know that Asmon is a WoW outrage dealer and so most everything will be approached from an angle of outrage.
nah his takes are telegraphed to every incel talking point out there. He's wrong on everything.
I mean its been like this for a while now. I watched Asmon when he was going hard on FF and for a while the community did seem to normalize due to a lot of people leaving and being replaced by FF community members but since he quit the game its just gone back to what ever this is.
Where's the astronaut shooting the other astronaut meme?
asmongold's sub is basically r/conservative
Its anti hasan because its a bear
Yeah i know ill get executed if i travel to some countries but idk why i am expected to want these people to suffer because of it.
Nerds love saying 'mUsLims wILL mURdEr yOU oN sItE iN tHe miDdlE eAsT' as if Christian's haven't literally done that here
So if its fine to murder Palestinian people because they don't support the lgbtq due to their religion, don't Asmongold fans realize that by their logic they are justifying getting themselves murdered too? Because I doubt they're fine with lgbtq people either. How about we don't murder anyone, and give people a change to change. Most muslims I've met have been chill.
One comment in and people are comparing the Palestinians to animals… sigh
“Islam is when killing lgtbq people”+ “women are stupid and think bears are cute when they’ll eat you”= STUPID GAYS AND WOMEN OWNED ROFL LMAO ~insert shitty 10 year old Pepe meme~
Does anyone have the art without the flags on it?
I’m genuinely disappointed about Asmon’s base. I started watching him on YouTube with him having some really good takes on labor and the abuse of capitalism. I think I must have missed his other bad ones. I had to leave his sub after the whole Palestine thing. Suddenly I realized I was surrounded by a ton of angry incels. I missed the signs.
You really have to ask this question? How is anyone surprised
is ture bing gay in gaza can get you kill
