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.
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.
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.
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.

¯\_(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
Representation matters. All the gross 4chan incels see themselves in him and feel validated.

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.

That guy who posited that “everyone in America is 12 years old” was probably right.
Right wing people like him.

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.
