Not sure why this is someone “famous”. He clearly needs help with serious mental health issues. I’m always surprised to hear that he has such a big followers base.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Twitch is a demented world I’m glad I was never a part of.
Honestly it’s fine if you’re watching smaller streamers. The huge ones is where it gets weird.
Twitch tryna compete with kick.com by pushing degenerates
Maybe make that kick.com a link to how bad shit really was.
I was never a watcher of any Twitch things until I found Brutalmoose, whose retro/oldschool tendencies and relaxed demeanor made him a very lovely person to put on in the background of my partner and myself working. Otherwise, I know next to nothing of the popular peeps other than they seem to like shouting and being part of drama, both of which are a huge turnoff to me.
That guy who posited that “everyone in America is 12 years old” was probably right.
I watched some of his early stuff and he had some decent takes. Then he went off the walls and I just stopped watching, was not hard form we since I watched him so in frequently
Right wing people like him.

because, we are so overwhelmed with obvious fake bullshit 24/7, that anything “real” is a breath of fresh air.
Asmongold is some random hoarder whose claim to fame is playing fucking WoW, he also used his newfound status to take care of his ailing mother and now father.
this is why more people tune in to watch any given asmongold stream than they do fucking…jimmy kimmel, who only has a show because he knew someone and they couldnt find anyone else with less edge.
it’s like…the truman show in way
Not that I’m a huge Kimmel fan but the man worked his way up in broadcasting from college radio station and being a radio host through the 80s and 90s before getting a TV show. I wouldn’t call ~25 years of work before landing a TV host gig “just knowing someone”
I got whiplash from that comment.
well…he sure didn’t get it for being funny
And because ganers are gross losers
gamers?
some are for sure, but i see why…this is a fucked up world we’ve created for ourselves and games offer an easy accessible escape from reality.
He was a huge WOW player and on his decline he hopped to FFXIV. Now I was a FFXIV player for years and loved the recognition. So his followers just ballooned because he hired a hit squad and went after the harder stuff in end game. He left that game but kept the followers. He was funny at times. But I can see why his popularity grew within video games. He’s a solid streamer on that front.
I watched him for a bit when he hopped on FFXIV, but then he had some misogynistic takes that made me see how awful he really was.
I didn’t see that part. I just watched him go after the coils of Bahamut.
Soon, they’ll be old enough to vote… As if that’s gonna be a thing by then.
We’re living in an age where entertainers mirror their audience. They aren’t about escape from reality or ideals to dream of. They are about wallowing in reality. They excuse the sorry condition their audience is in. Frankly, I think they occupy a brain space that used to be occupied by having friends. We have all had stupid friends we sit around and do stupid shit with, right? Well, not anymore. Now you just watch this idiot on your phone. It’s depressing as hell.
This is depressingly accurate.
i always get recommended his videos so maybe thats why???
I don’t understand this person’s appeal.
It’s exclusively other people that don’t shower for 3 months.
Yeah that tracks.
All you need to know about Asmongold is there’s a video of him on-stream trying water for the first time ever.
He gagged when he drank it.
Then he “watered it down” with soda.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the water he drank Fiji? If so, that’d explain his reaction. To me, that water tastes soapy.
Should taste like corpo fascism, the reznicks are deeply deeply terrible people.
Didn’t know their names till now, but I am not surprised since their fiji water consistently has the highest amount of fecal contamination of any bottled water. They also have FDA recalls, and enough microplastics to get a lawsuit…
They’re also pom wonderful, cuties, and wonderful pistachios. L if you get into the California water bank situation it gets a bit dystopian.
They have the massive almond farms right? I think that’s what I read earlier.
Yeah they grow tons of crops with huge water demands and that’s a major major factor in the California water shortage.
Sure would be nice if the government would get off their asses and resolve that.
Pretty obvious he’s saying things like this to get more attention. He knows how to get people to clip and spread his content, and people keep feeding the troll.
Yes he does this to troll. He often says things because he is trolling just to get outrage.
Not saying it’s right, but this is what he does.
Sure enough, he ended up finding a dead rat. Unsurprising, considering he previously used a dead rat as an “alarm clock” because the sun would begin cooking the corpse, causing it to smell, and the stench would wake him up.
This guy is a disgusting piece of shit…
That being said, skin does have a “horny layer” that we scrub off:
The stratum corneum (Latin for ‘horned/horny layer’) is the outermost layer of the epidermis of the skin. Consisting of dead tissue, it protects underlying tissue from infection, dehydration, chemicals, and mechanical stress. It is composed of 15 to 20 layers of flattened cells with no nuclei or cell organelles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratum_corneum
Scrub that off with abrasive scrubs full of chemicals and you exposure a “fresh” layer that looks good and healthy, but doesn’t offer the same protection. Which can lead to issues like acne or even skin cancer.
You still need to shower though, and not use a fucking dead rat as a smell alarm clock…
But there’s almost always a small seed of truth they build the crazy off of. Like how every pearl starts as a tiny piece of sand.
I don’t think his layers will be making anyone horny
The corneum is literally your best defense against infections. Scrubbing it off isn’t a life hack in any form, it’s just ignorance.

Everytime asmongold comes up I always think he can’t get more disgusting but someone always has to prove me wrong
skin does have a “horny layer”
me too, bud, me too
But there’s almost always a small seed of truth they build the crazy off of. Like how every pearl starts as a tiny piece of sand.
This reminds me a lot of chiropractic medicine; there is a core of validity too it, but many modern practitioners have hidden it deep inside a boulder of manure.
Of course you are buddy, you’re twelve.
Who?
He’s an entitled man-child YouTuber who gained some popularity as an mouthy asshat playing World of Warcraft back in the day. And since then he’s convinced himself that because he has a following he must be a gifted genius. And apparently that has translated into him not showering for reasons.
In short, as you already knew and implied, he’s less than nothing special.
Bizarre that world of warcraft players think they’re famous lol
I think he moved on to other games eventually. He has a fairly high subscriber count on places like Twitch and YouTube. So in some sense he is relatively famous. But he seems to think that that makes him important or that his shitry opinions matter. When he isn’t, and they don’t.
Even the highest subscribed youtuber or twitch user would be completely unknown to the average person, none of these people are relatively famous. The majority of subscribers and internet traffic as a whole are bots.
EDIT: your downvotes don’t change reality
MrBeast is reasonably well known even outside YouTube, he’s doing shows for some other streaming service as well.
People like the slow mo guys are also pretty well known too.
people really don’t appreciate just how quickly legacy media is dying, more people watch any given asmongold stream than fucking…jimmy kimmel
everyone knows by now just how obviously fake and bullshit all legacy media is, it’s why the powers that be are so desperate to reign in any social-media site not beholden to these oligarchs living in the past
YouTube is actually the only paid subscription I have, we just don’t watch broadcast TV at home at all.
Who?
If you showed a photo of these people to someone random on the street, it is almost guaranteed they would not have a clue who they are.
You’re just in a bubble.
I’ve seen posters and billboards with the dude’s face on them while driving around, he’s famous outside of YouTube.
There’s also people like the Slow mo guys who a lot of people would recognise.
A lot of people watch YouTube.
I don’t think his hygiene issues came about after his fame. Seems he’s always lived in filth. He’s a millionaire that lives exactly the same way as he did without any money.
He’s a millionaire that lives exactly the same way as he did without any money.
I mean… that might be the only redeeming thing about him. Money didn’t change him. Unfortunately, that mean’s he’s still gross lol
Only some of its entitlement. The man is clearly either extremely traumatized and depressed or showing signs of more serious mental issues like schizophrenia.
As we have seen time and time again. In our world money acts as a very good mask for mental issues, but he would be having the same issues if he didn’t luck into streaming, he would just be in a much much worse situation.
Or possibly he would have gotten help if he had had to rely on family and friends who might have convinced him to seek help sooner.
Why the fuck do i even know who this person is? Stop give him attention like this or people like them will never go away.
Reminds me of someone here on Lemmy recently who had switched to eating nothing but steak and insisted it was giving them superhuman powers.
A few years ago, I stumbled upon a subreddit for the carnivore diet. There were people there listing all the conditions and diseases they were supposedly cured from by only eating meat.
One particular individual listed like thirty separate conditions.
Like having superhuman levels of cholesterol
Lmao. I was once talking with an extremely obese lady who was super positive about her new meat only diet. After asking a few more questions it was revealed she was eating excessive amounts of candy, chips and fastfood every day. Of course you’d lose weight, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good diet.
Do people really enjoy watching people like this? Jesus Christ, do something healthier with your time, like playing videogames, or masturbating.
what about gym???
Yes I recommend that kind of workout too
If this were any other time in history this dork would have died from scurvy already.

Who?

That’s not how evolving body flora works

The bacteria in his butt crack probably evolved many times
Remember when their little coffee-klatch found out about empathy and they all thought they were secret telepaths?
Maybe something on his skin was starting to evolve…
