Twitch's largest political streamer, Asmongold, shovels racist and xenophobic messaging to his audience of 52K+ live viewers (files.catbox.moe)

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.

[–] ClydapusGotwald@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

It amazes me people listen to a guy who chooses to live in a filthy roach infested house.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 1 points 1 hour ago

Never watched him, but I assume you can smell his livestreams?

[–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago

Didn't he have a roach electric itself by chewing through a cord and he just fucking left it there for months?

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 15 hours ago

The rat alarm clock is pretty clever though. Once the roaches finish eating it, it's a snooze button!

I am from Germany and the English skills of the most citizens are not the yellow of the egg.

[–] lennee@lemmy.world 22 points 20 hours ago

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

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 27 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Are you racist? Are you misogynistic? If not can you pretend to be?

If so, modern social media would like to promote you. Apply now!

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 1 points 17 hours ago

Maybe if i was slightly more nihilistic and much more of an asshole i could pretend, alas it is not so.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 15 points 23 hours ago

How is he not banned yet? I would have banned him just for not using deodorant.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago

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.

[–] InternetRando@lemmy.myserv.one 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Can't agree with people who condone executions of any sort.

Freaky america, still stuck in medieval ages...

[–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

When you behave the way the people at the Nuremberg trials did, you deserve to be punished in the same way the people who were punished at the Nuremberg trials were.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Not even sure where to begin with. So my rational side tells me not to.

While i am open to all and any comparisons, no matter how much of a stretch, i would be really interested to hear who here acted like the literal nazis that stood trial at Nuremberg and how.

Then i would like to ask why is it important to kill people instead of imprisoning them. Justice? How is justice restored through 'revenge'? Maybe it does sate our sadism a bit but the injustice won't be undone. Is a rape victim helped when we rape the rapist? Does a murder victim come back to life after we kill the murderer? What is the goal?

[–] InternetRando@lemmy.myserv.one 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

They have to be exterminated because they REFUSE to join or advance society and will ALWAYS be trying to create a power structure that kills and destroys.They are not redeemable and the speed run to Nazism and twice voting a fascist demagogue is proof of it.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 2 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

'they have to be exterminated because they refuse to join or advance society' reads exactly like what Nazi would say when pressed on why killing whomever is ok so thank you for taking my side.

[–] InternetRando@lemmy.myserv.one 0 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Hey how bout you fuck right off with your shitty-ass "fighting Nazis amies you the REAL Nazi!" bullshit. Fuck you for pissing all over the graves of those who cheerfully murdered Nazis the first time.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Reading comprehension like a toddler but yes lets pretend we did talk about fighting and not execution of people.

[–] InternetRando@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

What do you think the intended result of fighting Nazis is?? Are you gonna make them submit in the "marketplace of ideas"?

JFC

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I am lucky that the U.S., back in WWII, did not exterminate every german citizen and even soldier for being a nazi but i guess you would have welcomed that.

The intent of fighting Nazis is to take away any power they might hold and to prevent them from doing hateful shit. Prison should be fine even for the worst of them.

[–] InternetRando@lemmy.myserv.one 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

That went well.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 1 points 1 hour ago

It is you guys that have the new Gestapo running around their streets without literally a single person using their thousands of guns to stop these Nazi cunts and you are telling me you want to exterminate "alls Nazis". Pathetic. You talk about exterminating and killing your opponents online a great deal but when it comes to action you guys tend to suck. A lot.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network -1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

This kind of false equivalence is kind of annoying.

Doctors and serial killers both cut people, but they're clearly not the same, are they?

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 1 points 15 hours ago

Where is it a false equivalence? Calling for the extermination of people sounds not like a false equivalence. I am not even arguing against violence or even killing Nazis if you have save a life. We are talking about executing someone you have in your power.

Your comparison sucks. If the Doctor kills people without need he would soon be in that second category.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 day ago (6 children)

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.

[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 day ago

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.

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.

i'm sorry, largest?

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 2 points 15 hours ago

(it's either something like this, or OP elided the word "audience")

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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" 🤦

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 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.

[–] Stabbitha@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

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.
