I feel kind of embarrassed that I used to make excuses for some of Asmongold’s past behavior, trying to justify or brush off things that, in hindsight, were pretty messed up. But recently, something about his content finally pushed me over the edge. His constant support for certain figures and creators, no matter what they do, is just bizarre. He acts like they can do no wrong, even when they make obviously bad decisions, and he always finds a way to spin it into something harmless or misunderstood.
What’s worse is how his community has changed. It used to feel like a space for gaming discussion and humor, but now it feels more like an echo chamber. A lot of his viewers just repeat whatever he says, and if you disagree, even respectfully, you’re basically asking to get dogpiled. There’s no room for actual conversation anymore, just a weird sense of superiority and groupthink.
He also has a weird talent for picking the most ridiculous hills to die on. Instead of tackling topics with any sort of nuance or sincerity, he turns them into jokes or hot takes just for the sake of content. And if anyone calls him out, he won’t take a step back or reconsider. He doubles down, turns it into drama, and moves on like nothing happened. Watching his streams lately just feels exhausting. It’s the same cycle of outrage, mockery, and circular conversations that never go anywhere. Honestly, it started to feel more like hate-watching than actual enjoyment.
The general vibe around his content doesn’t help either. A lot of the people who follow him seem constantly angry or on edge, and they take that energy into other communities. It’s no surprise his fanbase has a bit of a reputation for being hostile. It reflects the tone he sets, one that thrives more on conflict than community.
More recently, his content has also gotten really repetitive. It’s like he’s stuck in this loop where every topic is just another excuse to rant or stir something up. It used to be fun or at least interesting. Now it’s just tiring. Same topics, same reactions, same cycle.
Unfollowing him felt like the biggest fresh of air in my life and viewing the world on a more positive way.

Another wow Andy mad that he isn’t playing your game?
I don’t watch Twitch streams, but I have seen a few of his videos on YT. He didn’t strike me as a particularly angry or frustrated and some of his points are pretty reasonable (I can’t generalize since I only saw about 15 of his clips).
What I do not understand is why do you expect a discussion or conversation. Streams are basically monologues – one person expressing their opinion about different topics. The audience is there just to clap at the right moments. If you try to go against the crowd it’s natural to be rejected. The purpose of a streamer is to keep people listening, so they will keep talking about the topics that bring in the crowds.
If you want a discussion or a debate, streams aren’t the place to find it.
Idk what an asmongold is but congratulations.

Can anyone tell me what the hell an Asmongold is?
It’s really weird how divided the community is within it. I saw some clips of him playing AC shadows. He appeared to be genuinely enjoying the game. His chat wanted him to tell them it’s DEI woke slop.
Then again today with some new game with a female lead. Half the chat was saying it’s woke the other half saying not woke because the main character is attractive.
Dude that last paragraph had to be intentional give who ye’r on about, there’s jokes to be
Made there
People following streamers are so odd.
