      Is Asmongold bad? I barely know of this guy, I’m not up to speed on Youtuber drama. I can replace it with a different link if he is objectionable, I don’t really care about his minimal commentary here.

        Well, I won’t get too into it. But “gross” was a key word here. And it’s not really drama in so much as it’s an assessment of the guy.

            Nobody picks on Asmon for no reason. Believe me everyone has very good reasons. If I was to try to describe him to a lay person that wasn’t already familiar with them. It would be to describe him as like The Joe Rogan of video games if Joe Rogan had ever been actually good as a comedian. Basically the worst most undeserving of a platform person you know that’s been given a platform far too big. He is a cornucopia of shit takes, that has at times. Tip-toed around nazism. Although it’s been a good 3 or 4 years since I have seriously watched anything of his. So maybe he learned and pulled back or maybe he’s only gotten worse.

            And that’s not even mentioning lower hanging fruits like his hygiene. Calling what he has hygiene is really reaching. It’s much more like low-gene. Picking at his nose, at scabs etc etc etc live on camera. Constantly dirty and disheveled. removedroaches crawling over him. It’s not that he’s poor, doesn’t know better, can’t do better. Far from. It’s an active decision on his part as to how to live. Which is fine people can live how they like as long as they consent. It’s fine by me. But if you’re going to be judgmental or critical about others. Your flaws are fair game.

              Well, the next time someone recommends to me that I fuck him or something, I’ll be sure to refer them to your relevant comment. In the meantime I think letting him air a montage of Kash Patel being a POS is okay.
