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.

    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 🤣)

    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

    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?

      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.

      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.

      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.

      He didn’t, not even close—the OP just made that up to augment the ragebait level of their post, lol.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    Used to game with him back in MoP. Sad to see this is where he ended up.
